Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      1/ President Trump today signed the Section 702 reauthorization into law. That means that, with relatively minor changes, 702 has now been affirmed by three different presidents and congresses.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-cyber-surveillance/trump-signs-bill-renewing-nsas-internet-surveillance-program-idUSKBN1F82MK …

      2/ The first came in 2008, when Bush’s approval rating was about 30% and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress.

      3/ The second came in 2012, by large bipartisan majorities, when Obama was President, just before the Snowden revelations about 702 and other programs.

      4/ The third came today, and lasts until 12-31-23. Today’s reauthorization follows years of criticism and debate sparked by Snowden’s leaks and a great deal of voluntary disclosure by the USG, and happened even though a law-challenged POTUS was a drag on its passage.

      5/ This is an extraordinary bipartisan affirmation over a decade. Whatever one’s views about 702's value & shortcomings, it has been thoroughly vetted and endorsed by our democracy. Whatever legal or policy challenges remain, 702 is now baked in to the national security system.

      Would you still say that if I told you even staffers cleared at the Secret level could not learn about the Tor exception?

          Stifle and punish dissent. PUNISH is favorite repub word. The strength and integrity of the GOP is beyond measure. In fact immeasurable.
