Key Republican Changes Mind On Defunding The NSA

A key Republican leader in Congress wants to revisit defunding the National Security Agency’s surveillance authority. House Oversight Committee Chairman and technology enthusiast Darrell Issa has issued a call to revisit a bill similar to the Amash Amendment, which narrowly failed 205-217 last July.

After voting against it, Darrell Issa wants another chance to defund the NSA

A key Republican has shifted his stance on a landmark vote to defund the NSA’s collection of telephone metadata. In a letter to House leadership Tuesday, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) urged another vote on Rep. Justin Amash’s (R- Wis Mich.) legislative language that would have curtailed the program charged with gathering bulk phone records.

“Now that the House is back in session,” the letter reads, “I respectfully request that you move legislation to the floor, including language of the Amash Amendment that was narrowly defeated on July 26, 2013, during debate on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, as quickly as possible.”

Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, had previously sided against Amash’s amendment in a 217-205 vote. The close outcome led civil liberties advocates to claim that major changes on surveillance were afoot in Washington.

Wondering how many phone calls it took for this "reconsideration" from Issa. Patriots move forward.

He knows it won't be brought to a vote again. He just wants to be able to campaign that he is against it.
