NO on FISA Section 702 reauthorization becomes law before Oct 1, 2026?

After the April 45-day patch expired, 702 lapsed mid-June (Brennan Center; Wiley) and negotiations have produced nothing through August; lapse also mutes urgency because existing certifications run into 2027. Resolver: 'legislation that reauthorizes FISA Section 702' — a short-term extension almost certainly counts; priced risks: -5 pts (a stopgap extension counts as reauth), -3 pts (702 rider attached to the September CR). Cleanest tail: exactly that CR rider.
