That surveillance program—authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)—was created after 9/11 with the intention of tracking foreign spies and potential terrorists.

Just to clear things up, even though I get a few articles from Reason.com which is a Libertarian site, I am NOT a member of the Libertarian party nor will I ever vote Libertarian again.
I have voted Libertarian years and years ago but threw that shit out of the window back before the 2016 election when the Presidential candidate, Gary Johnson, picked the former governor of Massachusetts, Bill Weld, as his running mate.
Seriously, the Libertarians are supposed to be gung-ho for our Civil Rights and Johnson picked the former governor of one of the most anti-gun States in the Union as his running mate? Are you fucking kidding me?
