Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house-searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.

Section 2

Following see HR 6304 “(2) Probable Cause” section under (C)(Order):

It is necessary to read entire FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to ascertain its low standards of “Probable Cause” to wiretap and spy on persons in the U.S.

Example: Following is HR 6304 “(2) Probable Cause” section under (C)(Order):

Note how the weak word “May” in this “Probable Cause” paragraph of HR 6304 misleads readers to believe this provision shall protect U.S. Citizens and other persons in the U.S. from Government agents violating their Constitutional rights. That HR 6304 paragraph is shown below: see how the Act’s Probable Cause wording “may” undermines protection for persons in the U.S. exercising 1st Amendment rights.

This is from HR 6304 “(2) Probable Cause” section under (C)(Order):
“No United States person may be considered a foreign power, agent of a foreign power, or officer or employee of a foreign power solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”

The House inserted the weak word “may” and failed to insert, e.g., “SHALL NOT” which legally would have been more binding on Government and police not to violate the 1st and 4th Amendment rights of U.S. Citizens. Consequently it will be harder for persons in the U.S. to defend against U.S. Government wiretap evidence.

This vague language of THE FISA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008 should concern U.S. Activists that network with other activists, especially with groups overseas. For example, the Stop the War Campaign and labor groups’ transcend countries. Some of those country’s governments strongly oppose U.S. policies.

After the Senate passes HR 6304, U.S. Activists who network, especially with international activists, run the risk they “MAY BE CONSIDERED” by U.S. Government, agents of a foreign power if they support causes opposed by the Government. Historically it has not been beyond this U.S. Government to make such charges.

The FISA AMENDMENTS ACTS OF 2008 will permit massive U.S. Government surveillance of electronic communications going out of and coming into the United States, with minimum court oversight. U.S. Government may also use several broad provisions of the Patriot Act to further its domestic surveillance.
