华盛顿讯——美国参议院周五否决了一项关键的无令状监控程序延期提案，这意味着《外国情报监控法》第702条将于6月12日在无进一步干预的情况下失效。
此次47票反对、52票赞成的程序性投票中，7名共和党议员与民主党议员联手否决了该提案，该提案原本旨在为下周就延期进行最终投票铺平道路。此次投票正值外界对特朗普总统颇具争议的提名——联邦住房金融监管专员比尔·普尔特尔担任国家情报代理局长——引发担忧之际。
但反对延长该法案的共和党议员的核心反对意见是，该法律可在无搜查令的情况下监视美国民众。这7名与民主党议员投票一致的共和党议员分别是：密苏里州参议员乔希·霍利、犹他州参议员迈克·李、肯塔基州参议员兰德·保罗、密苏里州参议员埃里克·施密特、佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特、路易斯安那州参议员约翰·肯尼迪以及阿拉巴马州参议员汤米·塔伯维尔。民主党参议员约翰·费特曼是唯一一名支持推进重新授权投票的民主党议员。
“没有保护美国人的搜查令？就没有《外国情报监控法》，”李在X平台上发帖称。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩在投票后表示，参议院下周将“再次尝试推进此事”，但民主党人的反对是“极其不负责任的立场”，尽管他所在党团中的一些保守派议员倒向了民主党。
“任命普尔特尔担任该职位，尽管时机 arguably 不算最佳，但我仍然认为这不应该破坏如此重要的事务，”图恩说道。
俄勒冈州民主党参议员罗恩·怀登长期以来一直批评该监控系统，他表示两党投票证明了“改革努力超越了红蓝阵营分歧”。
“这传递出一个信息：美国民众不会容忍守法公民遭到监视，”怀登在接受美联社采访时表示。
此次投票是特朗普政府和情报官员遭遇的最新挫折，他们数月来一直在推动延长《外国情报监控法》的关键条款，该条款允许中央情报局、国家安全局和联邦调查局等机构在无搜查令的情况下收集外国目标的通信内容。
人们担忧该程序会意外搜集到美国民众的通信内容，这导致共和党领导人只能在谈判持续期间通过短期延期法案。批评人士希望在访问这些通信内容时引入搜查令要求。
参议院情报委员会最高民主党议员马克·华纳曾参与该法案的谈判，此次却投了反对票。他在周四早些时候表示，他与委员会主席汤姆·科顿已经就一项“强有力的法案”达成了他所谓的“妥协”，但“提名普尔特尔的彻底不负责任行为”改变了局面。
普尔特尔的任命遭到两党议员的反对，原因是他缺乏相关经验以及过往争议。图恩表示，该职位不应被“武器化”，该办公室应由“专业人士”领导。
“有人会认为让他掌管18家情报机构是明智之举吗？”华纳说道。
特朗普总统周四表示，普尔特尔不会是这个关键安全职位的“永久”人选。但总统在表示可能调查“选举舞弊”时，可能反而不利于普尔特尔的提名。即将离任的局长图尔西·加巴德今年早些时候参与了对佐治亚州富尔顿县一个选举中心的联邦调查局搜查行动，此举甚至让共和党人都感到惊讶。
“这是一个代理职位，不是永久的，他不会一直担任下去，因为，你知道，我不认为他想一直干下去，”特朗普在椭圆形办公室说道。“但他是个非常聪明的人，他可能会发现一些关于选举舞弊之类的事情。我认为他愿意做这份工作。我也希望——我认为他非常想做。他精力充沛。但他会做得很好。再说一遍，这不是一个永久职位。我们正在物色人选，我们现在正在面试其他人。但只是有人暂时接手一下而已。”
预计参议院将在议员下周返回后重新审议该立法。
任何达成的协议仍需在提交众议院之前达到参议院60票的门槛，而众议院议员尚未就共和党领导人添加到法案中以争取支持的限制中央银行数字货币的条款达成分歧解决方案。
Senate fails to extend FISA surveillance program as deadline nears, with 7 Republicans joining Democrats

Washington — The Senate on Friday blocked an extension of a key warrantless surveillance program used by U.S. intelligence agencies, meaning Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will expire on June 12 without further intervention.
Seven Republicans joined Democrats in the 47-52 vote against a procedural motion that would have set up a final vote on the extension next week. The vote comes amid concerns over President Trump’s controversial pick of federal housing finance regulator Bill Pulte to serve as acting director of national intelligence.
But a key objection from Republicans who blocked the reauthorization is that the law can be used to spy on Americans without a warrant. The seven Republicans who voted with Democrats were Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri, Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Eric Schmitt of Missouri, Rick Scott of Florida, John Kennedy of Louisiana and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman was the only Democrat who voted to move ahead with the reauthorization vote.
“No warrant to protect Americans? No FISA,” Lee posted on X.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said following the vote that the Senate “will take another run at it” next week but that Democrats’ opposition is a “terribly irresponsible position,” even though some of the conservatives in his conference voted with Democrats.
“The naming of Pulte to that position, although the timing arguably wasn’t the best, I still don’t think it ought to derail something that’s this important,” Thune said.
Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, a longtime critic of the surveillance system, said the bipartisan vote was proof that “reform efforts transcend red and blue.”
“It’s a message that Americans aren’t going to stand for law-abiding people being spied on,” Wyden told The Associated Press.
The vote marked the latest setback for Mr. Trump and intelligence officials, who have spent months pushing to extend a key provision of FISA that allows agencies such as the CIA, National Security Agency and FBI to collect communications from foreign targets without a warrant.
Concerns that the program can incidentally sweep up Americans’ communications left Republican leaders only able to pass short-term extensions while negotiations continued. Critics wanted a warrant requirement when those communications are accessed.
Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who had worked to negotiate the bill, voted against it. He said earlier Thursday that he and committee Chair Sen. Tom Cotton had reached what he described as a “compromise” on a “strong bill,” but that the “complete irresponsibility of putting forward” Pulte had changed the equation.
Pulte has seen pushback to his appointment from both Democrats and Republicans for his lack of experience and past controversies. Thune said the position shouldn’t be “weaponized” and the office should be led by “professionals.”
“Does anybody think it makes good sense to give him the keys to the 18 intelligence agencies?” Warner said.
Mr. Trump on Thursday said Pulte would not be his “permanent” choice for the critical security post. But the president may not have helped his case for Pulte’s appointment when he said he may investigate “rigged elections.”Tulsi Gabbard, the outgoing director, raised eyebrows even among Republicans when she joined an FBI search of an election center in Fulton County, Georgia, earlier this year.
“It’s an acting position, it’s not permanent, he’s not going to be permanent because, you know, I don’t think he’d want to be permanent,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. “But he’s a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections, etc., etc. I think he’d like to do it. I’d like to — I think he wants to do it very much. Got a lot of energy. But he’ll be very good. Again, it’s not a permanent position. We’re looking at, we’re interviewing people right now. But it’s somebody just to take it over for a little while.”
The Senate is expected to revisit the legislation when lawmakers return next week.
Any agreement would still need to clear the chamber’s 60-vote threshold before heading to the House, where lawmakers have yet to resolve differences over a provision restricting a central bank digital currency that House Republican leaders added to secure support for the bill.
