NSA Spying On Americans ‘Widespread’ – Let Sec. 702 Expire!

by | May 25, 2017

In October, 2016, the NSA was forced to admit that it had misused Sec. 702 of the FISA Amendments to spy on far more Americans than it should have. Even the normally very compliant FISA Court condemned the ramped up spying on Americans as raising serious Fourth Amendment issues. The NSA last month told us it would cease using Sec. 702 — which is supposed to be for foreigners — to spy in Americans. Should we trust the NSA to police itself? Today’s Liberty Report urges that Section 702 of the FISA Act be allowed to sunset at the end of the year. If the government wants to spy on us, let them get a warrant!
