Tulsi Gabbard's Confirmation Challenges

Tulsi Gabbard faces scrutiny during her confirmation hearing for the director of national intelligence, primarily centered on her views regarding surveillance programs. She expressed support for a warrant requirement for U.S. person queries linked to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. However, her responses lacked clarity on the practicalities of establishing probable cause, leading to concerns about her judgment among senators. This lack of confidence in her understanding of vital intelligence protocols raises questions about her suitability for a position that demands robust knowledge of national security tools.
