Sorry, this is where we part ways. I think not only should everything be Public, they should not be afforded any special rights or special protection. They can Live and Die under the SAME LAWS as the Citizenry.
NO SPECIAL RIGHTS FOR ANYONE
Why not just give every citizen the same digital rights? Geez, the entire EU, Africa, and India have better digital rights for the average citizen than we have here in the US.
Neither of those attacks took place at a congressman's house. And Rand's attack was by a neighbor so amending this bill wouldn't have prevented that.
.Gov shouldn’t be creating special protections for different Americans.
This is going to be a further instrument of our oppression. This basically lets judges become secret judges. It will be illegal to even post a photo of them. They need to be fully accessible and accountable to the community, not lording over us from secret hideaways.
And sure as hell congress needs to be wide open.
RULERS.
SEPARATE LAWS.
Ii vote no, because in the case where a government protects bad activist judges, and do not remove them, then it is the duty of John Q Public to do so.
How about block data brokers from trading information on -EVERYONE-. Bastards.
Why would I care about judges and politicians ? 90% are hacks who directly or indirectly make my life worse. They don’t deserve special protection because they tricked some people into a cushy job. We shouldn’t be In the business of giving special protections to certain Americans but let everyone else fend for themselves.
This bill protects the powerful. They think they can do whatever they want and not have any consequences for their actions.
People should not fear the government.
Government should fear the people.
No special protection. These people should be vulnerable so that they don’t forget that they are servants and not masters.
“I really think that this is important that we protect addresses for our judges, but it’s also important that we do this for our elected officials,” he said, citing the attempted assassinations of Reps. Gabby Giffords (D-Ariz.) in 2011 and Steve Scalise (R-La.) in 2017.
These were at Publicly Scheduled events. Not at their homes.
Also, if My address & other information is available at the public level & I am subject to the consequences of any public utterances on social media or just through attendance at the wrong political gathering like a Trump rally, why should my information not be protected like those of my citizen representatives?
This is all more plutocrat, elitist nonsense. Judges, senators, congressmen & should feel the same threat as the plebes! They need to be less insulated from reality, not more.
Best thing he could do is amend the bill to prevent the selling or any other electronic transfer of any citizen’s personal data by anyone for any reason. Would destroy Facebook, google, and a host of wannabes.
A better way to protect judges and politicians is to vigorously prosecute those who violate their rights. All Americans have the right to privacy and the right to be secure in their homes and in their possessions. If a mob intent on disrupting family activities and intimidating spouse and children targets the home of an elected or appointed official, law enforcement should be directed to forcefully disperse the demonstrators, arrest as many miscreants as possible, and impose the full weight of prosecution and subsequent tracking similar to the registration of sexual offenders. That or something similar would do more to rein in wouldbe thugs than attempting the fool’s task of restricting the sale of lists of names and addresses in an age of worldwide internet connections.
Equal protection under the law?
Don’t be silly you peasants
