I insist you oppose any clean extension or long-term reauthorization of FISA Section 702 unless it includes real reforms to protect Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights. Section 702 was created to target foreign persons located outside the United States! That foreign-intelligence purpose matters, and Congress can preserve it. But the unresolved constitutional problem is what happens when Americans’ communications are swept into those databases and then searched later by the FBI or other agencies using U.S. person identifiers. That is the backdoor search problem, and Congress should not keep pretending internal rules are enough to solve it.
