Here is a quote from Travis LeBlanc, a Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board member: Although section 702 is touted as a foreign intelligence tool, it is apparent that a key feature is domestic intelligence and criminal law enforcement. For example, DOJ reported that the FBI queried over 19,000 donors to a congressional campaign. The FBI also has run numerous improper queries of social advocates, religious community leaders, and even individuals who provide tips or who are victims of crime. Five million warrantless searches by the FBI of Americans' private communications is 5 million too many. Vote ``no'' on this amendment.
