Exactly. But I have absolutely no hope of any of them doing their job or fixing jack s#!t. The other reason, dems voted against it, is simply because it was something the repubs proposed. Maybe a pretty good starting point to oppose anything they want but a helluva way to govern.

 

Personally, I don’t have any problem with US citizens, that happen to be out of country, being surveilled when indications arise that need to be surveilled. If Trump doesn’t like it, it can’t be all bad.

I am having a difficult time finding hard numbers. Of course it is secretive, because of the civil liberties violation aspect, but I am seeing everything from 200k a year to an astonishing 3.4 million warrants a year of US citizens' data...all without a warrant.

I think this vote was bad. No matter who was voting against it. 

I think that, as currently utilized, FISA was bad because it allowed for US citizens to be surveilled without a warrant. Foreign nationals/citizens on foreign soil suspects of crimes should be treated differently than US citizens on our own soil. 

I am not sure if that is what the no vote was trying to fix? I kind of think that's the case since every single D voted no.

Do you think that's a good thing for the Republican party?

I think that, in it's current state, the R party is completely dysfunctional. I was wondering what point the op was trying to make? Was voting with all the Ds bad? Was the no vote itself bad? Is 702 bad?

You mean the vote where the dysfunctional Republicans shot down debate on their own party's legislation......again?  That vote?  

Unless I missed something, the "dysfunctional" Rs voted the same as every single D

Why would anyone want to surveil foreign spy agencies and terrorists?  

 

 

Civil liberties aside... how did the vote end up?

It appears they missed the bad ones however. Clear skies this afternoon!

I think Scottie will take it, but will say if it is someone else it will most likely be a former green jacket winner.

Damn dust in here...

Do you have examples of this?

Stuff like this doesn't help, regardless

Maybe a simple quiz to recognize spam or fake accounts should be required before setting up accounts or renewing them once a year.  I'm just tired of the liars taking advantage of the stupid.

This might be doable, with some sort of software
