Warrantless Wiretapping

It is important for our intelligence community to have the tools and resources they need to protect American lives. However, this does not mean they should be able to circumvent existing laws and act without appropriate supervision. . . .

Dan also opposes the recent FISA compromise bill that grants immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in illegal wiretapping. The American people deserve to know if their rights have been violated, and these entities must be held accountable.
