        @SenSchumer should be ashamed of his support for spying on US citizens. Time for you to go Chuck.

        Reauthorizing 702 is a way more complicated issue than the ball dusting that http://boingboing.net  is giving it. I would read here: https://lawfareblog.com/summary-fisa-amendments-reauthorization-act-2017 …. Reauthorizing 702 was the right move I believe, but there are clear steps that could be taken to improve it.

        I'll give it a more thorough read. Quick skim didn't change my mind but that isn't enough.

        702 encompasses authorizing surveillance techniques which provide actionable intelligence which has stopped real terrorist plots. It gets demonized because it also provides for the warrantless collection of data.

        That's exactly my issue. It collects data on US citizens without needing a warrant to do so. I know we are supposed to have faith that it won't be used. I just don't
