We shouldn’t be spying on Americans without a warrant. It’s that simple.
FISA was meant for foreign intelligence, not sweeping up your calls and texts just because you talked to someone who talked to someone overseas.
I’m putting forth an amendment that would make the government obtain a warrant if it wants to look at Americans and use it to stop terrorism. @MariaBartiromo

Analysis Summary
Rand Paul is proposing an amendment requiring warrants for government surveillance of Americans under FISA Section 702. Congressional debate on warrant requirements is actively underway — multiple news outlets report GOP and White House officials are considering warrant-related amendments as the program faces reauthorization, though leadership initially wanted a clean extension. The post omits that Paul's warrant proposal is one of several competing approaches under discussion and that some national security officials argue warrants could impede foreign intelligence collection on legitimate non-U.S. targets.
Claims Analysis (2)
“FISA was meant for foreign intelligence, not sweeping up your calls and texts just because you talked to someone who talked to someone overseas”
FISA's original purpose was foreign intelligence; Section 702 collection through chains of contacts is documented practice, though characterization as 'sweeping' reflects policy debate
“I'm putting forth an amendment that would make the government obtain a warrant if it wants to look at Americans and use it to stop terrorism”
Politico and Nextgov confirm warrant-related amendment discussions; Paul's involvement in these debates is consistent with public record
