8:16Now PlayingUS News: Rep. Jamie Raskin delivers a blistering speech on the House floor, taking aim at FBI Chief Kash Patel and raising serious concerns over surveillance powers and civil liberties. On the House floor, Jamie Raskin slammed the use of FISA Section 702, warning that the legislation gives sweeping authority to spy on Americans without proper safeguards.
He argued the bill acts as a 'three-year permission slip' for abuse, pointing out that it has “no warrant requirement, no probable cause requirement, and no judicial oversight.” Raskin cautioned that such unchecked power puts Americans’ privacy at risk and undermines the Constitution itself.
In a sharp critique, Raskin highlighted past misuse of surveillance tools, stating that the system has been “systematically abused to spy on American citizens” and warned that relying on internal checks is dangerous. “We depend now on Kash Patel to be the check and balance against Kash Patel,” he said, questioning accountability within federal agencies. He also condemned the removal of oversight mechanisms, declaring, “The watchdogs have been removed from the scene of the crimes.”
Raskin closed by defending constitutional protections, emphasizing that “it is judges, not FBI agents or government lawyers, who must protect our privacy and our civil liberties,” making it clear he opposes any expansion of surveillance powers without strict oversight.
