Senate to Vote on Dr. Paul’s Amendments to Eliminate Unconstitutional Practices in Fake FISA Reform and Government Spying
These reforms are vital steps towards modernizing surveillance laws and upholding fundamental liberties in the digital age.
Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced crucial amendments to correct a slew of unconstitutional provisions in H.R. 7888 the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA) and other governmental spying practices. RISAA was initially presented to Americans as a significant reform and reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). However, instead of curbing this overreach, RISAA significantly expands it by granting government agencies extraordinary authority to force private entities into disclosing sensitive communication data. Moreover, it undermines vital oversight mechanisms, despite bipartisan appeals for stronger safeguards.
The Senate is set to vote on Dr. Paul’s amendments tonight. You can watch HERE.
"We cannot continue sacrificing our freedoms in the name of security. Rather than reining in FISA overreach, RISAA expands it dramatically,” said Dr. Paul. “I urge my colleagues to support meaningful reforms that protect both national security and civil liberties."
