"That we are in an online way spotting what's going on." What kind of warrant is required to do that, Director Comey? Oh. A 215 order?
@weems And 12333 and NSLs and yes. Bob Litt has EXPLICITLY said he's going to respond to that need and protect everything more invasive.

@emptywheel It is surprising to me that 12333 passed 20+ Years ago is still valid to be used for Mass Surveillance.. -
@weems Not "passed." Issued to forestall Congress doing something, in part. Big surprise Congress hasn't yet tried to rein in use on USPs -
@emptywheel if they are opposed to what Bush did why are they not opposed to when Obama does the same. Cult of Personality is real :( -
@weems It's not a party thing. It's partly that much of Congress likes the dragnet. Also they're not sure they have power to fix it. -
@emptywheel I know that both parties like the power and will do anything that they can to keep that power.
