Conservatives threaten to sink FISA renewal as House Republicans battle over federal surveillance tool
Fox News
Conservatives in the House of Representatives are threatening to sink a bill to renew FISA Section 702 for five years.
"I disagree with that. It's going to jeopardize the rule and the bill," warned Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., when asked about Johnson being against the warrant amendment.

Section 702 allows the federal government to surveil non-Americans on foreign soil with suspected terror links without a warrant, even if the person on the other side of their communications is an American. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
