G.O.P. Threatens Spy Agencies' Surveillance Tool

1. Section 702 is exactly what Republicans would want.

But they would like Biden to be tagged with this fascist activity.

At issue is a program that allows the government to collect — on domestic soil and without a warrant — the communications of targeted foreigners abroad, including when those people are interacting with Americans. Leaders of both parties have warned the Biden administration that Congress will not renew the law that legalized it, known as Section 702, without changes to prevent federal agents from freely searching the email, phone and other electronic records of Americans in touch with surveilled foreigners.

I see nothing wrong with killing Section 702. Intelligence agencies should not spy on US citizens without approval of the court. Most likely the communications with a targeted non-US entity would be sufficient or a court.
