On Tuesday, a bipartisan group in Congress proposed legislation to rein in a controversial loophole in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that provisions U.S. spy agencies with a legal loophole to conduct warrantless surveillance on American citizens.

The bill, co-sponsored by Senate privacy hawk Ron Wyden, big government skeptic Rand Paul and 11 other senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, is known as the USA Rights Act. A companion piece of legislation is proposed in the House, sponsored by Reps. Beto O’Rourke, Ted Poe and  Zoe Lofgren.
