With the law set to sunset again at the end of 2017, Congress has already held two hearings: In February, the House Judiciary Committee held a closed hearing, which was followed last week by a public hearing by its Senate counterpart. Public concern generated by Snowden\u2019s disclosures about how the NSA uses Section 702 no doubt has much to do with the newfound congressional interest in surveillance authorities. So too, do developments in Europe, where courts and regulators have called into question the free exchange of information with the US because of the broad scope of Section 702.<\/p>\n<p>Last week\u2019s hearing exposed key differences between those who believe that Section 702 should be narrowed (as argued by my Brennan Center colleague Liza Goitein in her testimony at last week\u2019s hearing) and those who believe that Section 702 should be reauthorized in essentially its current form. The law is also being challenged, both in civil litigation and in a handful of criminal cases. Several intertwined issues, set out below, will shape the debate about Section 702 going forward and have the potential to dramatically alter the Fourth Amendment landscape. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just Security: The 702 Reform Debate Is Just Heating Up by Faiza Patel:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fisa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22185"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22186,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22185\/revisions\/22186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
