Rep Thomas Massie says the FBI and Intelligence Agencies operate using their own secret laws that Americans aren’t allowed to know about The FBI is using interpretations of the law that are so secret that no one is allowed to even talk about them This is being used as a secret loophole for spying on Americans The FBI’s interpretation of FISA is classified (red/white “Top Secret” cover). Even members of Congress cannot publicly describe how the law is being interpreted They are also using secret interpretations to hid what they are doing in reporting A 106-page classified FISC opinion reveals another interpretation of the law that allegedly allows the FBI to underreport abuses of the FISA program He says this is against the Constitution. No constitutional basis exists for secret laws or secret interpretations of public statutes

You cannot have a free and open society with the warrantless spying of Americans. Today, the bipartisan vote to force intelligence communities to get a warrant was lost by one vote. In an effort to stop this, I requested a rare procedural maneuver that will force a second vote on Monday. Hopefully we can change minds. I will be writing all 435 members over the weekend. Please help me. Talk to your reps. We have one last shot at this.

The bill Congress is currently pushing to reauthorize FISA not only keeps warrantless surveillance alive, but expands its scope to include all “equipment that is being or may be used to transmit or store such communications." It would give the government the ability to spy on just about any communication system in America without a warrant.
