So is this one of those things they're trying to slide by while everyone's all jacked up on gun control?

Do you mean immigration? Gun control is done for the foreseeable future . . .

This can't pass. If they don't want to send us back to the stone ages, this won't make it out of the Senate.

Although CISPA as a whole saw bipartisan support, one last-minute amendement that looked to curtail a worrisome practice by employers was shot down on party lines.

Colorado Democrat Ed Perlmutter attempted to tack on a provision to CISPA that would make it illegal for employers to require prospective employees to hand over their social media passwords as a condition of acquiring or keeping a job.

 

The proposal was voted down 224-189, with Republicans in the majority.

What kind of message does that send to the citizens? That you have no privacy rights on the Internet. That's wrong.

Oh. I guess I'm a little behind. Sorry.

Hell, given the events of the last week it's surprising that anyone knows what's going on in Congress. It's been . . . eventful.
