It's so weird for me to see progressives, who 12 years ago were furious about Americans talking to foreigners and those phone calls being surveilled with a FISA warrant (albeit a rubber-stamped one) now being like "no big deal." It either is or it isn't. https://twitter.com/RobertaByTheSea/status/1260668780847472641

I don't care about Michael Flynn especially. I don't think the FBI handled him right and I don't want them doing that to me, so I care in that regard. I also think he did sell his country out, showed he was monumentally stupid and shouldn't have been NSA.

And obviously, I get that we surveil foreign govt officials' phone calls and I have no problem with that. But if it involves an American, we need to agree on what standard appropriately protects civil liberties.

And a LOT of people are taking a partisan not principled position that conflicts with where they were a decade ago. Personally, I think you need some sort of warrant. Maybe a FISA, not a constitutional warrant, but FISA court can't be a rubber stamp.
