The federal government is entirely captured. Were going to get only little platitudes from it (if that) until stuff blows up (sometimes literally).
They've been rolling back civil rights for decades now. Autocracy is as good as here.
This 702 provision only allows spying on your communications with foreigners, and it's being used much less now than in the past.
How you feel about that is up to you, but it shouldn't be construed as a broad ability to spy on Americans without restriction.
Right so just be greatful the nazis are only going after your neighbors right?
