With the expiration of
#FISA702, Congress has the opportunity to reverse the government’s illegal erosion of our#4thAmendment-secured right to be free from warrantless searches and seizures. There’s only one bill circulating in the House that does that: the#USARIGHTSAct.Show this thread - End of conversation
