The sleepy Senate had hoped to send us a FISA extension with no changes that would be passed by UC to an empty House chamber. Today, we forced a vote on the Senate’s “clean” FISA extension that ignored our House bill that included a ban on a CBDC — I voted No.
And so, even in is not over, and we are forcing the fight in the right direction. We now have 45 days to continue to work for 1) a permanent ban on a Central Bank Digital Currency, 2) FISA warrant protections, and 3) the 4th Amendment not-for-sale protections (to stop the mass-purchasing of your data by intel agencies). And with the extra time, we should open up the FISA discussion beyond 702 to include reforms to Title 1 (where much of the previous bad actions have occurred).
