D.C. is completely corrupt and can't be reformed.
NIFO. They have earned punishment as traitors.
Excerpt:
"Late last year, Congress elected to punt the issue of FISA renewal - the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that was designed to surveil terrorists in foreign countries, and has since been horrendously abused by the US intelligence community to target Americans - including former President Donald Trump.



Now, they have 9 days to go to come up with a permanent replacement. To that end, House Speaker Mike Johnson put forth "RISAA" - a bill backed by Ohio Rep. Mike Turner and the intelligence committee, and just passed through the House Rules Committee - where a final floor vote will likely take place on Thursday.

Privacy hawks, however, point out that it's a steaming pile of shit with no meaningful language to protect privacy rights - except for members of Congress, who gave themselves a carve out which requires the FBI to notify and seek consent from Congress before spying on them.
What's more, critics say the RISAA essentially codifies surveillance abuses into law.

Under Section 702 of the FISA, the government is authorized to gather foreigners' communications if they have been flagged in connection with national security matters. The communications can be gathered even if the target was speaking about, or with, Americans.

"Speaker of the House Mike Johnson claims that RISAA reflects a compromise," reads a joint statement from the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Brennan Center for Justice and Freedomworks. "In reality, this bill is not a ‘compromise,’ and its 56 ‘reforms’ codify the unacceptable status quo."

The bill has also caused a rift within the Republican party over privacy rights.
Digging deeper is Brennan Center for Justice co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program, Elizabeeth Goitein, who wrote on X:

Buried in the Section 702 reauthorization bill that the House will consider this week (RISAA) is a provision that could result in the permanent reauthorization of this deeply-flawed authority—without a single reform.

Here’s how. FISA currently includes a sunset date of April 19 for all of Title VII of FISA. Title VII includes Section 702, but it also includes other provisions (Sections 703, 704, and 705) that contain vital protections for Americans located outside the United States.

RISAA’s sunset provision includes two parts. The first changes FISA’s sunset date for Title VII to five years from the date of RISAA’s enactment. If RISAA were enacted and signed into law on April 19, the sunset date for Title VII would be April 19, 2029. So far, so good.

The second part of the sunset provision, however, states: “Effective five years after the date of enactment of [RISAA], [FISA] is amended so that Section 702 reads as it read on the day before the date of enactment of [RISAA].”

In other words, on the sunset date, Section 702 will revert back to the way it looked before RISAA. If RISAA is amended this week to include real reforms (it currently has none), those reforms will drop away, and Section 702 will continue in its current form."
