On Friday, the House cast a vote of 273 to 147 in favor of extending Section 702 of FISA, a provision originally enacted in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.
Rep. Mary Miller stated her opposition, referencing past abuses: "I voted NO on reauthorizing FISA without a warrant requirement and serious reforms. FISA was misused by Obama to spy on the Trump campaign, and under Biden, to monitor his critics, including Tucker Carlson." "America lost a lot of liberty today. The House version of FISA that passed today is worse than the status quo for American citizens," said Rep. Warren Davidson.
Earlier, an amendment proposed by Rep. Andy Biggs, which would have required a warrant for the FBI to conduct surveillance on Americans under FISA, resulted in a tie vote of 212-212.
"The amendment to require a warrant to spy on Americans was lost by one vote. There will be a final vote on FISA on Monday," Luna said.
"The Uniparty just voted to allow the Deep State to violate your Fourth Amendment rights and spy on millions of Americans for two more years. Rep Luna just forced an additional procedural vote to stop them," Rep. Boebert wrote.
WATCH: "It's not over. There will be ONE more vote on Monday on a reconsideration of FISA in the U.S. House. The bill should be stopped because it lacks warrant protection for Americans - thanks to 86 Republicans & 126 Democrats who killed the warrant," Rep. Chip Roy wrote.
Luna wrote in a subsequent post, "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."
