Of course, all the Democrats voted to extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
The Democrat party has fully morphed into a Marxist cabal, ready and willing to impose tyranny on American citizens.
But how do we explain the Republicans who capitulated to the left and voted 'yes' for the two-year extension? Even House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Reps. Matt Gaetz and Anna Paulina Luna flipped.
They will say it was the lesser of the evils, two years instead of five, but that is no excuse. The bill to extend should not have passed and Rep. Andy Biggs’s amendment to require warrants if it did should have passed, but did not.
It seems that small-government, conservative, Americans have very few actual representatives in Congress.
Speaker Johnson has not kept any of the promises he made to obtain his office. He was all in on what was essentially Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s latest big spending bill.
The promise to defeat warrantless surveillance of Americans was likewise broken.
Apparently, Attorney General Merrick Garland made numerous phone calls to wavering reps. One can only wonder if this is how those calls went: "This is how you will vote and if you don’t, this is what will happen. ...." It is beginning to dawn on the American people that it is the deep state that runs the country and they run it with leverage and blackmail. Are Gaetz’s feet made of clay like all the others who have betrayed their constituents?
We know that the Obama administration and his worker bees in the DOJ, FBI and CIA abused FISA throughout the Obama and Trump administrations.
