the privacy rights of our servicemembers overseas. Now we are talking
about walking back the rights of those U.S. servicemembers if they are
talking to foreign friends they made while deployed, and we could be
talking about American teachers and researchers seeking information
from foreigners. Now this body isn't going to have a chance to even consider reforms
that might protect the constitutional rights of these Americans--the
businessperson, the servicemember, the first-, second-, or third-
generation American immigrant--because what has happened is the Senate
is being forced to vote on a reauthorization bill without any public
discussion about any kind of alternatives. The one committee
consideration--what is called a markup--occurred entirely in secret. That is public law being debated in secret.
