We need to give this some time here for this to percolate. Something is amiss. Massie, who put out the congress clause for all to see, didnt vote against it. There is a play going on here below the surface that we cant see yet. We need to dig.
Another great GWP story: nothing in the article addresses the the headline. Great job Jim! So why did all the Democrats vote against FISA? Since this stupid article raises the question without saying why,, maybe some of you know the answer and can let Jim know.
WE ARE watching a Movie. !9 good republicans want to expose the TRUTH about FISA. And the rest are doing what they are told under threat of being exposed!
Every Democrat also voted against this procedural vote, a common practice in the House where the minority party votes against the procedural votes of the majority.
Democratic leadership and the White House have vocally supported FISA reauthorization and a majority of Democrats would likely ultimately vote to extend FISA when the legislation is brought up for an official vote.
It seems there is confusion as to exactly what was being voted on..
According to Thomas Massie*, it wasn't a vote on the FISA bill itself, it was a vote to bring the FISA bill along with 6 amendments to the floor for a vote.
I'm guessing all the Dems voted against bringing it to the floor at this time as they are against the proposed amendments which includes a requirement for warrants.
Maybe the Dems are thinking about life under the 47th President of the United States and they don’t want him to have FISA authority?
I thought the same. They know Trump is going to go scortched earth, and they want to take away as many tools as possible.
Looks like patriots are in control of the democrats.
This is odd, I don't think I have ever seen democrats side with Republicans that do something for the people. Truly a movie I guess??
Ahhhh wait, fisa works both ways. They know he is about to be in control, maybe thinking they are able to save their asses??

Because the Dems will use this to get something they want.
Looks more like Republicans sided with dems.

They see the writing on the wall. Vote against it, or face prosecution at a later date.
another curious thing to me has been the opposition of the far left to Israeli support.
Ya know what? This is kinda pathetic, but if Dems are the good guys this one time and the other republicans are swampy, I’ll take it.
Whatever benefits The People. Rather than scumbag politicians carving out pieces of the law that don’t apply to them, but apply to everyone else.
I’m not so beholden to either side of the aisle that I can’t admit when one side is right and the other is wrong.
