- Judge Napolitano Opinion Piece: “A Switch in Time?”
- When she was a member of the House of Representatives, Tulsi Gabbard was a fierce defender of personal privacy rights protected by the Fourth Amendment.
- She consistently opposed permitting federal agents to spy on Americans without search warrants, and she consistently voted against the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978.
- Last week, Gabbard, now about to be nominated as Director of National Intelligence -- the head of all known American spying agencies -- changed her mind on Section 702 and no longer believes that the Constitution means what it says.
- Will President Trump step-up and end Section 702 in his second-term?
- Many if not most of us listening this morning have been caught up, at some point, in Section 702!
