Negotiations between the Republican leadership and members of the House Freedom Caucus over the nation’s warrantless spying program dragged on into the eleventh hour late Thursday. But the compromises crafted in those closed-door discussions, which were led by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), completely collapsed on the House floor.

Johnson’s dazzling play to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by five years ended in an excruciating defeat, as the bill failed after 20 Republicans joined Democrats in striking it down. One major reason it lost was that the warrant language baked into that measure not only would have codified existing law, but also would have made it easier for Section 702–acquired data to be used against Americans in criminal proceedings.

The 200-220 vote was called at 1:22 early Friday morning.

Two hours earlier, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) had lambasted Johnson and intelligence hawks on the other side of the aisle over their “backroom deal,” proclaiming on the House floor that “Republicans threw it together on the back of a napkin in a back room in the middle of the night.”

McGovern wasn’t the only Democrat to denounce the lack of transparency from GOP leadership.

“This is an appalling Kafkaesque process leading to an absurd Orwellian result,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). “They say you shouldn’t look to see how the sausage gets made. This isn’t even sausage. This is a scrapple. It’s scrapple with dog food mixed inside of it.”
