Senate Passage of FISA Bill is Disappointing (Rep. Elijah Cummings)

July 10th, 2008

I voted against it in the House. I was disappointed. I just think that there are just too many loopholes for Americans to have their lives opened to government. I think even when we consider it a national security interest, we at the same time have to balance that with making sure that government intrusions into the lives of Americans are not inconsistent with the Constitution. And I do believe that [this bill] is.  I’m just disappointed.
