There is also specific legislation that needs reform, firstly the
Patriot Act, which gives several government agencies sweeping
authority to spy on individuals inside the United States -- and in
some cases without any suspicion of wrongdoing. Likewise, the time has
come to rescind the FISA Amendments Act, which was passed in 2008 and
gave the NSA new power to conduct comprehensive dragnet surveillance
of Americans' international telephone calls and e-mails, without a
warrant, without suspicion of any kind, and without sufficient
judicial oversight.
