God fucking damn it not again

This is, what, the fifth time in ten years they try to pass shit like this?

They only need to succeed one time. People are generally preoccupied with a lot of other things right now, so maybe this is their lucky shot…

cough Patriot Act cough

...which Republicans swore up and down was temporary and yet, oddly, kept getting renewed wirth no evidence whatsoever it was necessary to stop a planned terrorist attack or that it would have stopped the WTC attacks themselves.

I bet 90% of the population or more has no idea that the Patriot Act was dumped and replaced with the nearly identical FREEDOM Act. Which took multiple tries to pass because they knew if they just kept hammering away, they'd eventually get it passed.

Yeah, they called a wildly invasive domestic spying bill the "freedom" act....

It's not even a partisan issue; spying on the constituency is one of few issues that has broad bipartisan support.

You could vote for a libertarian, but good luck.
