Love, courage, truth, glad back.

Well, it's another day, so a whole new set of outrages.

The government has just expanded its ability to unconstitutionally spy on you.

Happy Friday.

Yesterday, the House renewed the Pfizer Surveillance Program that collects data, email, text messages, photos without a warrant for another six years.

This is on American citizens.

The bill was originally approved by Congress in 2008 under the promise of protecting Americans against the big bad terrorists.

But that's a flawed platform.

There will always be terrorists.

So we are going to now violate everyone's rights in order to keep our country safe. Yes, we have to.

This is why Justin Amash offered up an alternative bill, the USA Rights Act, which would have required federal agents to get a warrant to search through data that was secretly collected.

So it's a crazy old-fashioned idea.

You have to have a judge say, yeah, according to the evidence that you have now given me, I'm going to let you go ahead and look through data.

It failed, of course.

Now, Trump was against the Pfizer extension.

Tweeting House Votes on Controversial Pfizer Act today, this is the act that may have been used to help with the help of the discredited and phony dossier to so badly surveil and abuse the Trump campaign by the previous administration and others.

But that was so 7.33 in the morning.

Two hours later, he flipped his position, tweeting, today's vote is about foreign surveillance and foreign bad guys on foreign land. We need it. Get smart.

Oh, okay.

The bill is now going to the Senate. It is expected to pass Rand Paul, who will be with us in 30 minutes, is already talking about filibustering the vote as is Mike Lee and others.
