House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is leading the charge to finally rein in the Deep State's unconstitutional spying apparatus, signaling that warrant requirements for FISA Section 702 surveillance could be coming whether the establishment likes it or not.
The Ohio conservative told the Washington Examiner that while House Republican leaders are considering a short-term extension of the controversial spy powers, the days of federal agencies rifling through Americans' private data without warrants are numbered.
This is exactly the kind of constitutional backbone We the People voted for in 2024. For too long, three-letter agencies have used Section 702 as their personal fishing expedition through Americans' communications, claiming they're targeting foreign threats while secretly building dossiers on patriotic citizens who dare question the narrative.
"We remain open to requiring warrants before federal agencies can access troves of data that may contain the information of U.S. citizens," Jordan made clear, drawing a line in the sand against surveillance state overreach.
Remember, this is the same FISA system that was weaponized against President Trump during the Russia hoax witch hunt. The same system that allowed corrupt FBI agents to spy on Carter Page and countless other innocent Americans based on fabricated evidence and partisan politics.
Deep State's Favorite Tool Under Fire
Section 702 has become the Deep State's Swiss Army knife for circumventing the Fourth Amendment. They claim they're only spying on foreigners, but then they conveniently search through that data for information on American citizens without ever bothering to get a warrant from a judge.
Jordan and his fellow constitutional conservatives understand that just because you slap a "national security" label on something doesn't mean you get to shred the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers didn't include "unless the government really, really wants to" as an exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement.
With Trump back in the White House and America First Republicans controlling Congress, the surveillance state finally faces real opposition. Will Jordan and his allies force the Deep State to actually follow the Constitution, or will establishment Republicans cave to fear-mongering about "national security"?
