Two Republican senators warned Tuesday that they would vote against any government spending bill that includes permanent reauthorization of a controversial provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, said they would go that far to oppose a permanent authorization of Section 702 of the FISA law.
“I would vote against any spending bill that has permanent reauthorization,†Paul said Tuesday. He added that the intelligence community “needs more oversight, not less†of the provision.
Lee said anything more than a year-long extension of FISA Section 702 as the law stands right now would also put his spending bill vote in jeopardy.
