That's what needs to happen. They both need to be repealed wiped out forever and never looked at as an option again.

The amendment has three important practical effects. First, it ends the mass surveillance of Americans. The government no longer is authorized under Sec. 215 to hold a pool of metadata on every phone call of every American. Second, the amendment permits the government to continue to acquire business records and other “tangible things” that are actually related to an authorized counterterrorism investigation. The government still has access to this tool under the amendment, but it’s forced to comply with the intent of Congress when it passed Sec. 215. Third, the amendment imposes more robust judicial oversight of NSA’s surveillance. The FISA court will be involved every time NSA searches Americans’ records, and the court will have a substantive, statutory standard to apply to make sure the NSA does not violate Americans’ civil liberties.
I don't like it still. I say to hell with NSA and FISA Courts, period. Start locking the lying crooks up.

You say propaganda which I understand the meaning of the word but, what are you hinting towards being propaganda? The climate getting to hot because of global warming or the seal population being in trouble because of it?? More specific details is what I'm after here. Thank you for doing an AMA.
Edit: Why would anyone down vote this genuine question? I was completely respectful and didn't mean any harm. I was genuinely wondering what he meant with his use of the word that's all. I even did a search through the text for propaganda looking for an answer before asking him. Any way, thank you again sir for being a good citizen.
