INTERVIEW: Gerard Filitti – ‘FISA Bill and Slide Towards Authoritarianism’
Manage episode 413636264 series 1547535
TNT Radio host Patrick Henningsen speaks with American lawyer and Senior Counsel at the Lawfare Project, Gerard Filliti, about the constitutional pitfalls surrounding the recent renewal of the highly-contested Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Bill, which gives federal agencies the power to conduct warrantless wiretapping on otherwise innocent Americans. With a vote of 60-34, it sends the bill to President Joe Biden (who has championed it, of course). Crucially, this bill extends the controversial Section 702 for two more years.
