Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold On Preventing the FISA Amendments Act from Being Jammed Through the Senate June 26, 2008 “I’m pleased we were able to delay a vote on FISA until after the July 4th holiday instead of having it jammed through. I hope that over the July 4th holiday, Senators will take a closer look at this deeply flawed legislation and understand how it threatens the civil liberties of the American people. It is possible to defend this country from terrorists while also protecting the rights and freedoms that define our nation.”
