UPDATED to 26 January 2018

       Thursday, 11 January 2018, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) unconstitutional end-run around legitimately authorized courts which FISA courts are not authorized under the United States Constitution and therefore operate illegally out of public view in which unlawful secret monkey judge courts routinely rubber-stamp approximately 999 out of 1,000 secret surveillance "requests" from executive branch agencies well-versed in unconstitutional unlawful practices kept secret under uncodified fabricated privileges from "national security", to "state secrets", to "concealing rank stupidity", etc. from illegal warrantless domestic spying to gang stalking, kidnapping, torture, murder and assassination including of United States citizens abroad (and not abroad such as in New York City, see, e.g., Frank Olson) provides in FISA Amendments section the 702 "sunset provision" extended to 19 January 2018 that the National Security Agency (NSA) (remarkably still operational even though former President Obama's Secretary Of Defense Ash Carter and DNI James Clapper unsuccessfully recommended over a year ago that U.S. Cyber Command and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers be booted for gross incompetence the NSA now best known for never having caught a real terrorist but only its own employees and contractors as well as having lost control of most all of its "Tailored Access Operations" (since renamed for public relations reasons similar to those for renaming Betsy DeVos' brother Founder Erik Prince's "Backwater" aka "Blackdeath" global mercenary murderers) weaponized "exploits" now used by global hostile nations and cybercriminals to launch state cyberattacks and private ransomware attacks including by which the NSA has helped North Korea fund its nuclear weapons program) may under said section 702 conduct warrantless surveillance of foreigners including the "incidental" domestic U.S. person(s) with whom they are communicating.
       The NSA has grossly abused unconstitutional section 702 in direct violation of the law to target domestic warrantless surveillance as well as making those domestic databases for their pals at say the F.B.I. and fellow bunch of corrupt prostitute cartel partier DEA drunks unconstitutionally available not just for national security but just "backdoor" warrantless law enforcement surveillance purposes in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment then undisclosed by prosecutors just as dishonest as police officers perjuring themselves in court to defendants under illegal "parallel construction" with the U.S. House of Representatives voting today 256-164 to extend said unconstitutional FISA section 702 authority for six years additionally codifying unconstitutional "about" domestic surveillance with no added privacy protections for another six years.
       The FISA section 702 surveillance state extension would have failed were the Republicans who did vote in the affirmative not joined by 65 Democrats voting with them with the names and votes of all individual members of both parties for interested readers shown in the final "roll call vote" linked to below. Next up to vote is the U.S. Senate which does not appear promising for those opposed with Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) in advance barring any amendments although Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has said he will filibuster this reprehensible clearly unconstitutional advancement of the U.S. mass surveillance police state which never would have been tolerated by the Founding Fathers.
       If it does pass the Senate it is expected to be signed into law by the earlier very confused President Trump as briefly set out in the article linked to below before the incompetent Trump later lapsed into a witnessed by several Senators unprecedented presidential racist vulgar rant about Haiti and African nations about which he since of course is lying in denials and Republican Senators present naturally also are deflecting and/or lying that they "cannot recall" or "could not hear" during what was an otherwise uneventful day at the White House adult day care center. Following the first article linked to below for interested readers are links to a few materials touching on some background of NSA gross ineptitude and U.S. Government abuses of U.S. citizens that have occurred under the totally inept NSA's previous intentional illegal misuse of FISA section 702 authorization.
       UPDATED to 18 January 2018: Please see uppermost links (below those on surveillance and on new EU GDPR penalties for Facebook and others' privacy breaches up to the greater of 4% annual global turnover or $24 million)  for news articles detailing later Senate developments which include the 18 Democratic senators listed below joining GOP senators to overcome a filibuster by one vote allowing the Senate to proceed to a final vote passing a six-year extension of unconstitutional FISA section 702 mass surveillance 65-34 as the House already has with the bill now only awaiting President Trump's signature.
       UPDATED to 26 January 2018: "How To Fight Mass Surveillance Even Though Congress Just Reauthorized It" by Bruce Schneier security technologist and lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University essential reading for those of the People determined to fight for and protect their inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness also including but not limited to all of the Bill of Rights and its penumbras today under constant State assault amidst the State's persistent bogus claims of "national security" and other non-existent "privileges" codified nowhere such as "state secrets" including from unconstitutional domestic mass government surveillance and other unlawful State invasions of privacy from an illegitimate State that has irrevocably violated its compact with the People by failing collectively to uphold its oath to the Constitution here having passed just one further grossly corrosive law with Congress including Democrats listed by roll call vote below joining GOP members in passing and Trump signing into law a six-year extension (bound to become permanent if the State has its way) of the clearly unconstitutional unlawful FISA section 702  unconstitutional on its face as well as in corrupt State domestic law enforcement (not even limited to intelligence) agency practices associated with it including but not limited to "incidental" warrantless domestic surveillance abuses by law enforcement and perpetuated by illegal unconstitutional "parallel construction" including with State-sanctioned prosecutorial withholding of exculpatory evidence and law enforcement officers routinely lying under oath expressly and by omission in U.S. courts of law can be found by interested readers at the first link below.
        Readers further interested in this unconstitutional law and what challenges now in motion at home and abroad may force its reconsideration and reform or replacement can go to the ACLU Blog dated 18 January 2018 "Congress Just Passed A Terrible Surveillance Law. Now what?" confirming that the ACLU has determined that FISA section 702 as drafted and further unlawfully utilized by the State is unconstitutional and in violation without limitation of constitutional IVth Amendment and privacy protections can go to the second link below.
