  • @drwho Not necessarily. In the short term, the huge split in the Republican party means that the NDAA’s already not a slam-dunk, so throwing gasoline on the fire with FISA activism could potentially have an impact. It also adds to pressure on Speaker Johnson, who’s under a lot of fire from Republicans for how badly he’s handled this mess.

    And even if they do the short-term reauth (which I agree is more likely than not), it’s still very much an open question as to what happens next – it could be anything from GSRA or PLEWSA (with significant reforms) to a straightforward longer-term reauth with minimal reforms as a “compromise” to the odious FFRA (which *broadens* the scope). So pressure now is also a preparation for the next battle.
