Some lawmakers are calling for widespread reforms following years of surveillance scandals and abuses across successive U.S. administrations. But even if the spy law known as Section 702 expires in April, the government's spy powers will not automatically lapse.

    Lawmakers are split between the interests of their constituents and the interests of the truckloads of money being dumped on them*

    If you are not on a government watch list by now you should be ashamed of yourself.
