After the two-week spring recess, Congress will return to a plethora of
work, including the debate surrounding FISA, the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act. In the coming days, House Speaker Mike Johnson will
finally bring to the floor a reauthorization of this foreign
surveillance law. But with Republican infighting over FISA and a pair of
contentious amendments being pushed by privacy hawks eager to limit the
ability to gather Americans’ data (and a coordinated effort by national
security-minded members to kill those amendments), the debate will be
nothing near straightforward. Playbook co-author Rachael Bade breaks it
all down.
