Gowdy would have been re-elected easily. He is leaving cause he wants to be a Federal Judge.

That said 9 chairmen have now said they arent coming back and 34 GOPers overall. The wave is going to be massive.

He couldn't even get Hillary. Who on earth wants him as a judge?

Promotions are tied to job performance. Gowdy is/was a renowned prosecutor. The fact that he is renowned for prosecuting criminals and couldn't rap Hillary Clinton in a lie in his Benghazi hearing is telling of his job performance. It sucks. And if he sucks being a prosecutor he probably is going to suck as a Judge.

The GOP with a sweeping majority just re-authorized that very FISA process.

(CNN)The Senate approved a six-year extension of the controversial Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Thursday.
The vote was 65-34. The bill now heads to the White House for President Donald Trump's signature.
Section 702 allows the US government to collect communications, such as emails and phone records, of foreigners on foreign soil without a warrant. While the law targets non-US citizens, critics warn the government may incidentally monitor US citizens who are communicating with non-US citizens outside the United States. Its proponents have argued the program helps keep Americans safe.
On Tuesday, by a vote of 60-38, the Senate defeated a filibuster of the bill.

Trump last week complicated a closely coordinated effort between his administration and congressional Republican leadership on the extension when he sent a tweet seen as disparaging the program mere hours before the House was expected to vote on the measure. Trump later sent a tweet more clearly backing the measure, and the House passed it 256-164.

In a now-deleted tweet, which has nonetheless already become notorious, Paul Ryan tried to hype the benefits of his massive corporate tax cut by celebrating the example of a worker who’s getting $1.50 more per week. That’s roughly the price of a small French fries at McDonald’s.

Should we keep giving Ryan grief over that tweet? Yes, we should – and not just because it shows how out of touch he is. By highlighting the tiny tax cut some workers will get as if that were the point and main result of a bill that blows up the deficit by more than $1 trillion, he helps illustrate the bait-and-switch at the core of the whole G.O.P. agenda.

For tax cuts aren’t free. Sooner or later, the federal government has to pay its way. Even if you don’t think the budget deficit is currently a big problem, except under very special circumstances anything that reduces revenue will eventually have to be offset by later tax increases or spending cuts.

What’s he (Ryan) planning to take away?

Well, we know the answer: Republicans constantly use the alleged dangers of budget deficits to argue for sharp cuts in social programs. You might have thought they’d lay off that rhetoric for a while after passing an unfunded $1.5 trillion tax cut, but in fact they barely paused; even at the height of the tax “reform” debate, people like Orrin Hatch declared that we can’t “spend billions and billions and trillions of trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves.” Right now they’re dragging their feet on funding for community health centers, complaining about the cost.

Not too enthused about it myself, actually. I see my senators were split, and my rep went for it. Not sure how that makes me a hypocrite; I wasn't giving any sort of commentary about FISA itself, just on Gowdy's comments. You should know by now I'm not going to want this sort of blank check, although I do find the timing a bit intriguing that, assuming the six-year is correct, they're banking on holding control until 2024, and then getting rid of it before things change in 2025.
