Your internet history is safe from the FBI\u2026 for now. Government surveillance powers under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) \u2013 which have sat unrenewed since March \u2013 failed to be renewed this week in the House despite passing earlier this year. The FISA renewal vote<\/a> came up as H.R. 6172, the USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act and was pulled from the House floor on Wednesday and Thursday. A key difference between the version of this bill that the House passed in March and the version that the House didn\u2019t pass today is that the FBI would have been able to access the internet history of Americans without a warrant. Also, key officials including President Trump and the leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) spoke out against the renewal.<\/p>\n

As it stands, three key FISA surveillance powers are still on hold. The business records clause, the roving wiretaps clause, and the lone wolf clause. The business records clause was the one that would have been expanded to allow the FBI to access the internet history of Americans without a warrant<\/a>. While some politicians are lamenting that these programs are unrenewed, privacy advocates are tentatively celebrating the same fact and hoping beyond all hope that these surveillance powers may never be renewed. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi felt that the surveillance powers needed to be renewed to protect civil liberties and that the modicum of reform in the new bill was enough of a compromise. She said on the House floor on Wednesday:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith an intelligence bill, with a FISA bill, nobody is ever really that happy. You always want more or less, as the case may be\u2026 In all humility, we have to have a bill. If we don\u2019t have a bill, then our liberties, our civil liberties are less protected.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Contrary to her words, \u201cour liberties, our civil liberties\u201d are much better protected if this bill never passes and the surveillance powers granted under FISA and the USA PATRIOT Act are allowed to die. At the beginning of the week, it seemed this vote was a shoe-in\u2026 So what happened to H.R. 6172?<\/p>\n

President Trump urged Republicans to vote \u201cNO\u201d on USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020<\/h2>\n

President Trump tweeted for Republican Congresspersons to vote \u201cNO\u201d on the renewals, and the Department of Justice signalled that they would ask the President to veto the bill if it passed. Trump\u2019s tweet<\/a> on Tuesday night read:<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope all Republican House Members vote NO on FISA until such time as our Country is able to determine how and why the greatest political, criminal, and subversive scandal in USA history took place!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Wednesday, President Trump then doubled down and confirmed that he would veto the bill even if it did pass the House. Faced with this deadlock, the USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020 has failed, for now. While the lack of Republican support was a noticeable feature in the delaying of this vote, the vote likely would not have passed even without the tweets. Within the Democratic side of the aisle there was already enough pushback against the bill for not having enough reform \u2013 such as a key amendment to keep the FBI from being able to access your internet history without a warrant. Daniel Schuman of Demand Progress summed up the situation in a tweet<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocratic leadership is blaming Republicans on FISA, but Speaker Pelosi blocked pro civil-liberties amendments and stymied reforms over the last year, including yesterday. That\u2019s why she doesn\u2019t have the votes \u2014 she hasn\u2019t earned them. This may surprise some, but Pelosi is a surveillance hawk and has long sacrificed civil liberties on the altar of national security.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An amendment to stop FBI from accessing the internet history of Americans without a warrant was sabotaged<\/h2>\n

The bill was supposed to include an amendment by Lofgren-Davidson which was created in the spirit of the Wyden-Daines amendment that the Senate failed to pass by a single vote<\/a>; however, with a narrower scope. Senator Wyden accused Representative Schiff of watering down the amendment and therefore reforms to FISA court sanctioned mass surveillance.<\/p>\n

Wyden\u2019s similar amendment didn\u2019t specify just U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and Wyden worries that the amendment isn\u2019t strong enough and has room for legal misinterpretation and only paid lip service to stopping warrantless access to Americans\u2019 internet history. Therefore, he withdrew support for it and urged the the House to vote on the original Wyden-Daines amendment instead in a statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now clear that there is no agreement with the House Intelligence Committee to enact true protections for Americans\u2019 rights against dragnet collection of online activity, which is why I must oppose this amendment, along with the underlying bill, and urge the House to vote on the original Wyden-Daines amendment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the House Rules Committee, even Representatives Lofgren and Davidson pushed to vote on a mirror of the Wyden-Daines amendment as opposed to the watered down one; however, the vote on the bill came about without either amendment being considered due to insistence by the Speaker of the House that the Senate version of the bill (which would give up the internet history of Americans) be voted on because she thought it\u2019d be most likely to pass.<\/p>\n

Despite all the bipartisan work on the amendment to forbid the FBI to access Americans\u2019 internet history without a warrant, the amendment wasn\u2019t voted on and now the entire bill has fallen on its face. Representative Woodall commented on the House floor on Wednesday during the only allotted hour of debate:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m down here telling you we had a great bipartisan solution but we won\u2019t be able to talk about it on the House floor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Woodall advocated voting \u201cNO\u201d and allowing the bipartisan amendment to protect internet privacy to come up again in the future. It was after the vote on the Lofgren-Davidson amendment was pulled that the leaders of the Congressional Progressive Caucus came out against the bill \u2013 effectively splitting the Democrats against the bill while President Trump\u2019s tweets ensured that no Republican would vote for the bill. The CPC said in a statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have grave concerns that this legislation does not protect people in the United States from warrantless surveillance, especially their online activity including web browsing and internet searches. Despite some positive reforms, the legislation is far too narrow in scope and would still leave the public vulnerable to invasive online spying and data collection.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Government will attempt to renew FISA surveillance provisions again<\/h2>\n

Congressional leaders have other plans \u2013 and they don\u2019t necessarily involve adding privacy protecting reforms that would forbid the FBI from accessing internet history without a warrant. Speaker Pelosi indicated in a press conference that she will try to work with Senate to come to an agreement on a version of the bill that will pass both Houses. Speaker Pelosi is working to get the already passed House version of the bill back to the Senate to be voted on there \u2013 which bypasses all the meaningful reform that\u2019s been attempted. Schuman commented<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaker Pelosi has so much contempt for the views of her members that instead of allowing a pro-civil liberties amendment to FISA, she has short circuited the committee and floor process and is moving to a secret conference committee to cut them out.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whether this happens before November, 2020 remains to be seen. Under the resistance from the Republican party, threat of a Presidential veto, and a noticeable lack of meaningful reform which caused even some Democrats to balk, the current bill failed to garner enough support to pass.\u00a0 Despite all this, FISA renewals will likely come up again so citizens still need to remain vigilant to protect their privacy rights. These surveillance programs need to see the grave, permanently. Even if this FISA renewal doesn\u2019t come to light again \u2013 a new bill with new surveillance powers eventually will. Suffice to say \u2013 Privacy is sacred, but hard earned. Evan Greer, Deputy Director of Fight for the Future, summed it up perfectly in a tweet<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis doesn\u2019t mean this is over. It just means we live to fight another day.\u201d<\/p>\n
