New FISA Bill Won’t Get Past the President (Sen. Sam Brownback)

I think we need to pass FISA. I think we need to pass the Intelligence Committee FISA bill. I am on the Judiciary Committee and I think what the Judiciary Committee has tried to add here is harmful, not helpful. That is why I am voting against the Leahy substitute.

I appreciate the Chairman and what he is trying to do with it, but it is not going to pass. It is not going to get past the President and we are going to be back later doing same thing that we should do right now.
