The PATRIOT Act’s Section 215 Must be Reformed

The ACLU‘s suit is an important first step, but it‘s crucial that Congress finally take on Section 215 in earnest. The days of closed-door briefings and secret court orders must end. Congress must force public disclosure about what information the government is collecting, and what‘s being done with it. The Administration and the secret FISA Court will continue this spying if Congress doesn‘t stop them.
