Seven months after 14 people died in the San Bernardino terror attack, the push by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein to give law enforcement access to encrypted cellphone data has fizzled.
A draft bill by Feinstein and Sen. Richard Burr, R-North Carolina, was panned by technology companies and never introduced, while a new report from the House Homeland Security Committee declares that the proposal and others floated in Congress provide little guarantee of successfully addressing the issue.

Democrats - importing muslims and then taking away civil rights of Americans when these very same muslims kill and murder Americans.

A draft bill that was never even introduced. A fitting fate. May all that follow in similar ways meet that same fate.

Typical Democrat thinking - there is no social ill that can’t be alleviated by a 700 page bill that nobody has completely read. :)
