Mike Turner said "In conclusion, as we look at this debate and this bill, which is about spying on foreigners abroad, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Chinese Communist Party, giving them constitutional protections is unprecedented. There is no court that has ever done it. There has been no bill that has passed this House that gives constitutional protections to foreigners abroad. Americans' constitutional rights are preserved in the Constitution. This amendment undermines our security by giving Americans' constitutional rights here in the United States to foreign adversaries. Mr. Chair, I urge a ``no'' vote on the Biggs amendment, and a ``no'' vote on this amendment. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
