Bill Polti was a non starter for some Republicans and definitely Democrats in that role. Does this break that logjam on fisa? It should and I hope that that unlocks fisa. FISA in an unprecedented way gone dark. In the FISA, which short for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, there is a section there, section 702 which is the principal tool by which we keep this country safe. It prevents terrorist attacks. It's helped us in times of war, protects American citizens. And that program right now is quote, gone dark. And we say that it's no longer authorized by the Congress.
