Yes, the Government Does Spy Under Grandfathered Approvals https://www.emptywheel.net/2014/11/20/yes-the-government-does-spy-under-grandfathered-approvals/ … FISC has approved IMO far more dubious grandfathering

@emptywheel Calculus is different now. FISC may see 215 sunset as opportunity to finally put the onus back on Congress where it belongs. -
@PatrickCToomey As I said, I think it's a non-starter anyway. It confuses what is holding up the dragnettery right now, -
@emptywheel If DOJ really thinks it can compel providers' cooperation w/o Congress, why isn't it already compelling Verizon? -
@PatrickCToomey Oh, I don't think it can. But it apparently can't entirely under status quo either.
