All of these acts built upon the 1978 FISA bill. It is not a Democrat or Republican problem, it is a Progressive problem as Progressives (GOP & DEM) out numbered moderate/conservative's in Congress.
No matter what is said at the time, there are very few laws,acts, or statuettes that ever go away. This is why I was so against the Affordable Care Act (Obama Care). It will never go away.
I often think of old Ben Franklin in that,
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."What is happening with the FBI/Comey, NSA/Rogers, White House/Obama, and White House/Trump "wire taping" drama. Maybe in the end, parts of the aforementioned Acts will be minimized to re-prop-up the 4th Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
LOL, I just break myself up!
Naaah, it will never happen as once passed you live with it for ever.
