The Insurrection Act offers the president unchecked authority to use the military to staff a mass deportation program, as Ronald Brownstein explains. But the law is dangerous outside of the immigration context, too, and no matter who is president. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

There's no doubt Biden could use the Insurrection Act to federalize the Texas National Guard. The law puts few limits on presidential discretion. But that is why Biden should be cautious a/b lowering the threshold for invoking it. There is a lot of room left to litigate here.

The intelligence community hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Section 702. So for Jim Himes 🇺🇸🇺🇦 to wave away concerns by saying “it’s classified” isn’t a compelling or satisfactory answer.

Wow. The disregard for Americans' civil liberties in this reply is staggering. This provision allows the NSA to force a huge range of ordinary U.S. businesses to assist the NSA in Section 702 surveillance. That's not "nonsense," that's a fact. And this is your response??

URGENT: Please read thread below. We have just days to convince the Senate NOT to pass a “terrifying” law (Ron Wyden) that will force U.S. businesses to serve as NSA spies. CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW using this call tool (click below or call 202-899-8938). 1/25 act.demandprogress.org/call/no-on-sec…
