Reply #10: The bill has a big flaw, as I said on other threads shortly ago. [View All]

It has warrants for GROUPS. Not individuals. GROUPS. Blanket, umbrella warrants of a wholly unconstitutional nature that are a rubber stamp for the unrestricted surveillance of anyone the government deems to be part of those groups, at that moment and in the future. Note that legitimate foreign targets require NO warrant, so we're talking about what the law calls "US persons", citizens and residents of the United States. And the law, last I heard, requires only that these groups be of interest to a foreign intelligence investigation. Not targets. Just of "interest".

THAT part of the bill is wrong, and THAT part of the bill needs to be changed. By someone. Anyone. It is wrong, it is unconstitutional, and worse, it is a mistake.
