What Constitution? See What National Security Advisor Sullivan Says About Warrants For FISA Searches

The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution says: 'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.' -- Pretty clear language, no? Apparently not for National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan: NSA Jake Sullivan on amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to require a "warrant for every query of lawfully collected data": "We do not believe that that serves the national security interests of the United States."

First, some background: Our government invades Americans’ privacy without a warrant, using the FISA 702 program. That’s unconstitutional. Thursday, we will have a recorded vote on an amendment to reform this program so the feds will have to get a warrant to search US citizens’ communications. Later this afternoon there will be a vote to require warrants to search our communications. It'll be very interesting to see how this vote goes. Especially since NSA Sullivan says it's not in our 'national security interests.'
