Patrick G. EddingtonForget the politics of personality in the #FISA Title VII reauth battle. What matters is whether some other forces--specifically the Supreme Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union--might lead to the end of Section 702. My latest, out now.

NonilexAnd #Trump threatened to block the extension of the powerful #surveillance statute, § 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or #FISA, which expired Saturday, unless a measure to reauthorize it was attached to #elections #legislation that would impose #national restrictions on #voter #identification & #registration.
Senate majority leader John Thune (R-SD) said repeatedly the elections measure does not have sufficient votes to pass & warned attaching it would “tank” the FISA bill.
Arthur Zork (They/CyberNinja)#Trump defies the cowardly #Republican Majority in #Congress with delays to his own Jay Clayton nomination for intel director, demanding they pass his fascist #SAVE act & #FISA mass surveillance renewal 1st, so I guess the realtor with 0 intelligent experience Pulte is the acting spy director indefinitely without legal authority to spy. Or at least until #GOPedos are voted out of office in the #midterms.

Trump delays intel nominee Clayton, fueling tension with Republicans
President Donald Trump is trying to stop the confirmation process for his own nominee to head the nation’s intelligence agencies. Trump's extraordinary move Wednesday upended Senate efforts to renew a crucial surveillance program that expired last week and fueled fresh tensions with fellow Republicans on Capitol Hill. Trump declared in a social media post he was delaying the nomination of Jay Clayton as director of national intelligence just hours before his scheduled hearing. Republicans eventually postponed the hearing for Clayton, who's U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Further complicating matters, Trump says he won't sign the surveillance program renewal without his legislation to require proof of citizenship for voters.

Trump doesn't care about #FISA Title VII. He cares about suppressing the votes of those who oppose his authoritarianism, which is why he is using FISA Section 702 as a legislative hostage to get the misnamed "SAVE Act" into law. At the rate he's going, he'll get neither--which would be glorious.
