Not sure how trustworthy the source is

I'm not clear who can make the decision to keep the vote private. Came across this, as one article's justification for opposition to Tulsi:
Critics argue that her stance on national security issues, particularly her opposition to the PATRIOT Act and Section 702 of the FISA Amendment, could make her unsuitable for the DNI role.
I respect opposition to the PATRIOT Act. Found this about Section 702 Fisa:
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration faces an uphill battle to reauthorize a key surveillance tool, known as Section 702, before it expires at the end of the year as members of both parties of Congress push for big changes.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, allows the government to conduct targeted surveillance of foreign nationals living outside the U.S. without needing to obtain a warrant. It has become increasingly controversial over the years.
As recently as this month, a court opinion disclosed that FBI employees wrongly searched foreign surveillance data for the last names of a U.S. senator and a state senator. The opinion also said that another FBI employee ran a query using the Social Security number of a state judge who complained about alleged civil rights violations by a municipal chief of police.
Critics of Section 702 worry that its powers are too broad and allow for the "incidental" collection of data on U.S. citizens and that the provision is ripe for abuse.
I don't think I'll get too worried over opposition to that, either.
But not mentioned was her perspective on Russia/Ukraine.
