Speaker Pelosi on the floor speaking on the floor talking about protecting the Constitution.

Now talking about values. And now military strength and use of intelligence.

Not sure why she& #39;s talking about military for **domestic surveillance**
I wonder if she& #39;s answer the question of why the FBI needs to see what websites you are visiting without requiring them to get a warrant first.

Waiting for a discussion of the 4th amendment.
Pelosi says the USA Freedom bill was improved in the Senate by the adoption of Lee-Leahy, which begs the question why she wouldn& #39;t allow that amendment to be offered in the House just a few weeks ago.
Pelosi has just misquoted Ben Franklin very badly. What he actually said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
Pelosi says "we have to have a bill." Why? "Without a bill our civil liberties are less protected. Why? "DOJ doesn& #39;t want to have a bill."

???
Now Pelosi& #39;s talking about 9/11.

???

How about warrantles, illegal mass surveillance that was started by the Trump administration and used against the more vulnerable of our population?
"FISA is a critical pillar of our national security," says Pelosi.

And requiring a court to approve a warrant before the FBI can surveil you?

Not answered.
Pelosi: "Vote for this important rule that allows for us to do important things."

She urges support for the rule. So why did she cut off the bipartisan Lofgren-Davidson amendment?

Rep. Woodall is bringing it up, debating her, asking why it wasn& #39;t included?
Whoops, looks like Pelosi is no longer on video.
So, in summary:

Pelosi spoke on the floor to show her support for a resolution that prevents the offering of any pro-civil liberties amendments to a surveillance bill that gives Attorney General Barr tons of unchecked power.
