一场围绕隐私权与国家安全的激烈争斗将在未来几周的众议院达到高潮，这将是对众议院议长、来自路易斯安那州的共和党人迈克·约翰逊及其席位极为微弱的共和党多数派的最新考验。
《外国情报监视法》（FISA）第702条将于4月20日到期，等待国会重新授权。然而，本周计划对该法案进行”纯粹”延期的投票因日益增长的反抗情绪而推迟。
大量议员以及情报界人士认为，该条款对防止另一场类似”9·11″式的恐怖袭击至关重要。但国会中的隐私保护鹰派人士——包括保守派和进步派——表示，这给了联邦政府过多监视美国私人公民的权力。
“这是一个隐私问题，”来自德克萨斯州的共和党众议员基思·塞夫告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。”别误会，这是对抗恐怖分子的一个非常重要的工具。但在我看来，你不能继续无令状监视与恐怖分子没有直接联系或关联的美国公民。”
与此同时，来自路易斯安那州的共和党众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯在上周关于FISA的机密简报会后对记者表示：”由于FISA流程，已经阻止了无数次恐怖袭击企图。”
“政府非常清楚这一流程对保障美国人国内安全的重要性。这就是他们要求延期的原因，”斯卡利斯说。”它是在’9·11’事件后创建的。我们当然不想回到’9·10’的心态，那种’9·11’前的态度，即我们只是希望不会发生坏事。”
第702条允许联邦政府在怀疑外国公民与恐怖主义有联系的情况下，对其进行无令状监视——即使通讯另一端是美国公民。
特朗普政府在2024年对流程进行重大改革后，要求国会批准”纯粹”延期，但保守派人士表示这些保障措施仍不够。
“两年前进行了一些急需的改革，但我认为我们还需要做一些额外的修改，”正在竞选空出的参议院席位的怀俄明州共和党众议员哈丽特·哈格曼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
众议院共和党领导层表示，他们将在没有任何修改的情况下将18个月的FISA延期法案提交表决。虽然该法案可能会获得众议院多数议员的支持，但约翰逊在被称为”规则投票”的程序性障碍中可能会遇到麻烦。
“规则投票”实际上是一次测试性投票，如果成功，将允许议员们辩论并权衡某项措施。但规则投票传统上沿党派路线划分，这意味着议长只能失去一张共和党选票，才能在没有民主党支持的情况下推进第702条的重新授权。
至少有两名共和党众议员，来自科罗拉多州的劳伦·博伯特和来自佛罗里达州的安娜·保利娜·卢娜，已经威胁要投反对规则的票。两人都在利用他们对参议院通过《拯救美国法案》（SAVE America Act）的支持，这是一项与特朗普支持的选举诚信措施无关的法案。
“我对目前的FISA投反对票，也对FISA规则投反对票。’沼泽’不高兴，但这就是我的立场。通过《拯救美国法案》，我可能会改变想法，”博伯特上周在X平台上发帖称。
卢娜在该平台上表示：”议长是个非常好的人，他对’纯粹FISA重新授权而不附加《拯救美国法案》（SAA）’的看法完全错误。迈克可以并且应该告诉规则委员会将SAA附加到FISA上。”
一些保守派人士也对一些共和党人在FISA问题上的彻底转变表示不满，这些共和党人此前支持拜登政府下更严格的监视保障措施。
“这是议长在成为议长之前持有的立场，”来自德克萨斯州的共和党众议员迈克尔·克劳德告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，指的是约翰逊过去对令状要求的支持。
值得注意的是，特朗普在2024年4月第702条上次重新授权时曾敦促共和党人”废除FISA”，声称他是该法无令状监视权力的受害者。当时刚担任议长几个月的约翰逊反对隐私保护鹰派人士寻求的新令状要求。

Conservative FISA revolt poses fresh test for Speaker Johnson
House GOP leadership is pushing clean 18-month extension of warrantless surveillance powers, but privacy hawks say existing guardrails are not enough

A brewing fight over privacy rights and national security will come to a head in the House of Representatives in the coming weeks, shaping up to be the latest test for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and his razor-thin GOP majority.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire on April 20 pending congressional reauthorization. A planned vote on a “clean” extension of the measure this week, however, has been delayed amid a growing rebellion.
A vast swath of lawmakers, along with the intelligence community, have argued the provision is critical to preventing another Sept. 11-style terror attack. But privacy hawks in Congress — a mix of conservatives and progressives — say it gives the federal government too much power to spy on private U.S. citizens.
“This is a privacy issue,” Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. “It’s a very important tool, don’t get me wrong, against terrorists. But you cannot, in my mind, continue to warrantlessly surveil U.S. citizens that don’t have an immediate nexus or tie to some terrorists.”

Meanwhile, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., argued to reporters after a classified briefing on FISA last week, “There have been countless terrorist attempts that have been stopped because of the FISA process.”
“The administration’s been very clear how important this process is to keeping Americans safe at home. It’s why they’ve requested the renewal,” Scalise said. “It was created after September 11th. We surely don’t want to go back to a Sept. 10 mentality. A pre-Sept. 11 attitude, where we just hope that nothing bad happens.”
Section 702 is a provision that allows the federal government to conduct warrantless surveillance of a foreign national outside the U.S. if they’re suspected of ties to terrorism — even if the person on the other end of the communication is an American citizen.
The Trump administration is asking Congress to approve a “clean” extension after significant reforms were made to the process in 2024, but conservatives have said those guardrails are not enough.
“There were some much-needed changes made two years ago, but there may be some additional ones that I think that we ought to make,” Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., who is running for an open Senate seat, told Fox News Digital.
House GOP leadership has said they will put an 18-month FISA extension on the floor without any changes. While the underlying bill is likely to get support from a majority of the House chamber, Johnson could run into trouble during a procedural hurdle known as a rule vote.
A “rule vote” is effectively a test vote which, if successful, allows lawmakers to debate and then weigh a given measure. But rule votes traditionally fall along partisan lines, meaning the speaker will only be able to lose one GOP vote to still advance the Section 702 reauthorization without support from Democrats.
At least two House Republicans, Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., are already threatening to vote against the rule. Both are leveraging their support on Senate passage of the SAVE America Act, an unrelated Trump-backed election integrity measure.
“I’m a NO on FISA as it stands. I’m a NO on the rule for FISA to boot. Swamp isn’t happy but that’s where I’m at. Pass the SAVE America Act and I MIGHT feel differently,” Boebert posted on X last week.
Luna posted on the site, “The Speaker, who is a very nice man, is completely WRONG on his perspective of a CLEAN FISA Reauthorization WITHOUT SAVE AMERICA ATTACHED (SAA). Mike can and SHOULD tell the rules committee to attach SAA to FISA.”
Some conservatives have also groused about the sharp reversal on FISA from some Republicans, who previously supported more surveillance guardrails under the Biden administration.
“It’s the position that the speaker used to hold before he became speaker,” Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital, referring to Johnson’s past support for warrant requirements.
Trump notably urged Republicans to “KILL FISA” when Section 702 was last up for reauthorization in April 2024, arguing he had been a victim of its warrantless surveillance powers. Johnson, who was just months into his speakership, opposed a push for new warrant requirements sought by privacy hawks.
