A procedural vote in the U.S. House to advance legislation to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act failed, The Wall Street Journal reports. The failed vote would have allowed for amendments to the existing FISA statute, including a bipartisan amendment that would have all but ended warrantless querying of the Section 702 database "with exceptions for imminent threats to life or bodily harm, consent searches, or known cybersecurity threat signatures." Section 702 sunsets 19 April without reauthorization.
