Not a good result. The good amendment to add a warrant requirement failed on a tie vote; bad amendments to expand the scope of warrantless wiretapping passed. Next step: a Senate vote.

The Patriot Act* didn’t exist before 9/11. Your argument is invalid.
Also, the NSA can get the FBI to get a warrant for the person in the US. We already have mechanisms for monitoring communications in the US.
* It’s actually called the USA PATRIOT Act, which is an acronym for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.” I prefer the acronym U SAP AT RIOT/

Section 702 has only existed since 2008.
They got that information before section 702 was a thing. You’re supporting GWB’s wiretapping policy.

The memo gwb ignored before 9/11 was before section 702 existed. 702 didn’t go into effect until 2008.
If you don’t want me to downvote you, don’t lie in support of a gwb policy.

I understand that whenever a centrist is dead wrong about something, they pull this gaslighting horseshit.

You pretended that a policy that didn’t exist before 2008 provided the intel Bush ignored before 9/11.
You don’t understand how linear time works, and have presented no facts.
