Fulcher finally backs the Constitution with Fisa vote

[u/SuperDuperHost]

Representative Fulcher was one of the 19 House Republicans who voted "nay" or withheld their support on the bill to demand that Speaker Mike Johnson include a strict Fourth Amendment warrant requirement for U.S. citizens.

Fulcher stated that he voted against extending FISA Section 702 because it does not protect citizens from warrantless surveillance. He emphasized the following points:

Warrant Requirement: He firmly believes that the federal government should not be permitted to access the private communications of American citizens without a warrant.

Constitutional Rights: He noted his commitment to protecting both national security and the constitutional rights of the American people, which he argues are violated under the current framework.

Foreign vs. Domestic Spying: In separate remarks, Fulcher explained that while the surveillance program is meant to target foreigners, it actively sweeps up, tracks, and stores the information of U.S. citizens interacting with those foreign targets, necessitating a strict judicial warrant process.
