A bipartisan group of twenty-five state Attorney Generals have signed a letter, urging House Democrats to stop their obstruction of the Protect America Act, as passed by both parties in the Senate and supported by House Republicans. Here is an excerpt:
"The root of the problem stems from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ("FISA") Court order that jeopardizes America's national security efforts. Under that decision, U.S. intelligence agencies must obtain a FISA warrant before initiating surveillance involving suspected foreign terrorists located outside the United States...Passing S. 2248 would ensure our intelligence experts are once again able to conduct real-time suveillance. As you know, prompt access to intelligence data is critical to the ongoing safety and security of our nation."
