Competing bills reauthorizing Section 702 surveillance are causing a head-to-head clash in Congress. The bills propose different paths for Americans' privacy and civil liberties, with concerns raised about the expansion of surveillance powers. Speaker Mike Johnson faces a leadership test as Republicans are divided over the reauthorization. The proposed surveillance regime could enlist more businesses, and there is massive outrage over the Republican-led House's attempt to pass the biggest expansion of surveillance on Americans. The House was set to vote on two competing bills reauthorizing a powerful mass surveillance tool, but faced backlash from rights groups. The House Intelligence Committee’s approach to reauthorizing and expanding the warrantless surveillance of Americans has raised concerns and has been called 'the largest expansion of domestic government surveillance since the Patriot Act.'
