Demand That Congress Actually Debate FISA Amendments Act

We‘ve pointed out that the unconstitutional FISA Amendments Act (along with its secret interpretation), look likely to get renewed before the end of the year. Senator Wyden is willing to drop his hold, but if he doesn‘t get certain amendments in, he wants to limit the length of the extension to a short period for the sake of having a debate. Of course, that‘s the same thing that happened almost exactly one year ago.
