      @BradMossEsq Just saying it's the kind of thing NSA can exercise discretion not to brief in great detail, right? @JasonLeopold

      @emptywheel @JasonLeopold That's the backdoor issue. We've discussed it. We agree on the need for a fix.

      @BradMossEsq FAA established clear Congressional intent to protect USP content. But 12333 allows NSA to get around that. @JasonLeopold

          @emptywheel @JasonLeopold Congress can try to reign it in but it would require a huge fight.

          @emptywheel @JasonLeopold Therein lies the inevitable conflict between Congressional and Executive authority.
