Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday introduced an amendment to the House-passed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to protect Americans’ privacy, citing the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn as an example of “abuse” and saying it “should never be allowed to happen again.”
Paul, R-Ky., who is an outspoken advocate for privacy reforms, proposed an amendment to the USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020 – which passed the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year – to protect Americans' privacy, ensure due process and “reassert the Fourth Amendment.”

Lying to the FISA court is already illegal so what makes anyone think a new law is going to be followed....

And why is the court "illegal,?"

Good point.  A lot of what has been going on is illegal or unconstitutional or both.  Yet as usual, here we sit.  The DEMS continue to get away with it all.  No one has been indicted.  Many are calling for Barr to step down...the responsibility to start bringing some justice into this country lies on his shoulders.  He's either going to start acting or he'll step down; the heat (or someone) may get to him.  I hope not and I hope he has been provided a security team.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
