As we’ve noted, our support for the current version of USA Freedom that is moving through the Senate and the House is conditional on amendments that improve the bill. While we hope to see such amendments, we also know that they may not be possible, since Judiciary Committee leaders noted during the USA Freedom markup that it is the product of “painstaking and careful negotiations,” that would be killed by any changes. And yesterday, the hearing on HR. 2048 in the House Rules Committee made it clear that USA Freedom Act will not be amended.
