Breaking News: U.S. lawmakers rejected significant limits on warrantless N.S.A. spying that were championed by a bipartisan group in the House
The yearslong effort to impose significant new privacy limits on the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveillance program fell short, as the House of Representatives voted to extend the legal basis for that program by six years with only minimal changes.

What's really wrong here is that Presidential candidate and the DNC PAID to have someone create a PHONY dossier on Trump. That was a taken by others to justify a warrant for the tapping of Trump's communications. Phoney story, dishonest lying elected officials, and crocked law enforcement agencies all knew the story was phony and approved of the Trump spying. Well after the law was broke, everybody is turning their back to the criminals in our government and nobody is getting punished.
Why worry about limits on the illegal spying? It will just happen again and again until these people go to prison.
12:14 PM you honestly don't have any damn clue about how this system works!!!! Don't get it twisted, I did not say, how the system SHOULD work, but how it DOES work!!!!
If you knew anything, anything at all of this subject you would know this first and foremost, The NSA cannot be stopped when it comes to spying or privacy issues, you get that? with ANY legislation!!!! Here is why... There was legislation passed some years ago, that stated to the effect that unless you specifically call out and name the NSA or whom ever in that law to not do something, any law the govt passes about privacy or anything like it, the NSA doesn't have to follow it becasue again if it doesn't specifically say "NSA can or cannot specifically do this or that" then they are not bound by that law (At least how the NSA explains it)... Further more, if you knew anything at all you would know, that the FISA or what ever court name they give it, for where the NSA gets their secret warrants, They are a system behind the system that is not in the pubic eye or under public scrutiny and no one in the public can directly affect or change or be part of anything they decide... As such, the NSA doesn't need evidence or a warrant to do anything, and this FISA or what ever court they have hidden in the background, will give warrants to any govt agency whom ever wishes and chooses to get a warrant, and they will do so gladly without evidence... When the govt finally mentioned the court, and their stats, at the time about 99% of all warrants with or without evidence were granted.. Get that, 99%!!!
The intelligence agencies work for the richest banking families in the world.
The Congress also works for these people, who finance all of the campaigns.
There will never again be privacy in the world.
Privacy is something that only existed prior to the digital age.
Once the elites got control of the technologies (bought them) it was game over for regular people.
Period.
