The spy program, authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), allows the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct surveillance on non-American targets outside the United States without a warrant, even in cases when they communicate with Americans.
The program, which is set to expire at the end of this year if Congress doesn't act, has drawn ire from civil liberties advocates because of the incidental collection on U.S. citizens that occurs under the law.
Civil liberties advocates have argued for reform of the law, particularly to close the “backdoor search” loophole that lets federal investigators search through the data incidentally collected on Americans for investigations.
Thank god there's at least one Republican left who isn't a complete nigger.

does canada have a "snowden" whistleblower?
does canada have a "clapper" "not wittingly"?
Jaxon Foster
No, but we do have other whistleblowers. For example, the AdScam sponsorship scandal in the Liberal Party 10 years ago was revealed thanks to a whistleblower.
Oliver Cruz
redpill me on the AdScam sponsorship scandal

The government had a program to advertise and raise awareness of federal government programs, projects, etc. in Quebec. This began shortly after the last Quebec referendum.
What was found was that some of that money (to the tune of millions) was embezzled, given to ad companies for no real work, and given to some companies which would donate the money back to the Liberal Party. There was also not a proper bidding system for some advertising contracts.
This scandal is at least partially responsible for the Liberals losing in 2006.

Sen Wyden: "Does NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" Clapper: "No Sir." Sen Wyden: "It does not?" Clapper: "Not wittingly."

>lawmakers are demanding an open debate in Congress early next year that will lead to changes to the law to protect the communications of Americans swept up in electronic dragnets
SJW's basically have access to secret government spying tech, and are using it to abuse, gangstalk, and gaslight their political opposition.

Rand is /ournigga/
Kevin Powell
Rand needs to show everyone how the Russian dossier was used to get a reverse FISA warrant. This will push the issue to the top. Any democrat opposing this issue will lose in 2018.

the deep state is spying on all three branches of government
using a federal agency to oppress Americans (Tea Party) is a high crime and misdemeanor

>allows the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct surveillance on non-American targets outside the United States NSA should be shut down considering how easy it is to crash or hack their servers
Joshua Rogers
That's basically the plot of the Obama "shovel ready jobs" infrastructure stimulus con job. Except minus the part where it was ever exposed fully. Or anyone was ever held accountable.
Funnel money to labor unions. Unions funnel money to democrats. Infrastructure still mostly the same shit.
