Supports Protect America Act: less FISA restrictions

Jeff Beatty says John Kerry fails on the "Protect America Act" and thus fails to protect U.S. citizens at home and U.S. Forces in combat. The original Protect America Act of 2007 amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to provide additional procedures for authorizing the acquisition of certain forms of foreign intelligence information. This past week, Congress walked away from a bill to extend that capability as they went on recess. John Kerry voted against the new legislation.
