Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) said on March 8 he believes Congress doesn’t have sufficient votes for a “clean” reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) this week, and that he thinks that’s a “good thing.”

When questioned on whether the House will have the votes for a FISA reauthorization without reforms by the March 15 deadline, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee said, “No, I don’t think we do, and I think that’s a good thing.”
