The government's response? Ignore it and prepare to renew the program anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Section 702 sunsets on April 20, 2026—in less than 90 days. Congress is already staging the renewal debate. And despite a court ruling that these backdoor searches are unconstitutional, the FBI, DOJ, and intel establishment are pushing to expand surveillance, not end it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, I break down the Hasbajrami case, where Judge LaShawn Darcy Hall called Section 702 searches a "dragnet" and a "general warrant"—the exact tyranny the Fourth Amendment was written to prevent. I show you the 2024 RISAA amendment that made surveillance worse, the Stasi-like provision that could turn your landlord or coffee shop owner into a government spy node, and why the establishment from both parties is united in crushing your civil liberties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;⚖️ THE ONE QUESTION THAT MATTERS: Warrant—yes or no?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the FBI wants to search Americans' communications in the 702 database, they should get a probable cause warrant. Anything else is permission.
