Many members past and present hold the act in an almost sacred place. Some, like our colleague John Lewis, shed his blood in support of its passage. Others owe their careers as legislators to its vigorous enforcement.

As we gather today, our nation stands at a legal and political crossroads. We are confronted with a seemingly endless war on terror that increasingly must be fought in the digital age.
