If you voted for someone that voted NO, then you are fine.
If the people in the district next door voted for someone that voted YES, then there is your problem.
Both republicans and democrats aren’t worth 2 cents. Both are snakes.
No more need for local LEO to obtain subpoenas to collect your data, thanks to this bill.
FYVM, GOP
Now, why would a GOP majority House grant broaded surveillance authority to Obama? Could it be that they are on the same team? Nah. Go back to sleep.
Steve Berman at Redstate put it perfectly:
“In the dark of the night, two weeks before Christmas, the GOP consummated their betrayal of our trust. We voted them a majority for the next two years, and they thanked us by a backstabbing so heinous, that it moved the seismic needle on the Democratic party”

In Stonewalled, Atkisson also has a lot to say about National Intelligence Director James Clapper, and his infamous straight-faced lies to Congress concerning the NSAs mass-spying upon unsuspected ordinary American citizens. Like with the shape-shifting former spook and CBS News consultant Mike Morell, I am reminded of the famous (but unattributed) saying: In acting, once you learn how to fake sincerity, the rest is easy. (Question: is this a subject taught during CIA training? Undoubtedly it is. How else to recruit foreign agents of influence, which is the CIAs bailiwick? Or at least, it used to be, before they started operating on domestic soil against Americans once again.)
After recounting Clappers apparently sincere but always changing testimony, Atkisson had this to say: Allowing Clapper and other government officials to be in charge of solving their own surveillance controversies is like inviting the fox to guard the henhouse. Except the fox is also getting the keys to the henhouse and the recipe for chicken fricassee.
In a fictitious world, one can imagine a meeting in which any member of Congress calling for Clappers head gets a closed-door visit from Clapper or his team. They slide a file bearing the name of the member of Congress or someone close to him across the desk, J. Edger Hoover-style. The file contains materials surreptitiously gathered under the auspices of a government leak investigation or surveillance program. The member of Congress opens the file. Perhaps his eyes flicker. Maybe his face becomes white. The materials are very...personal. The imaginary Clapper rubs his forehead with his four fingers. No words are spoken because no words are necessary. The file is closed and Clapper drags it back across the desk, never to be spoken of again. Unless necessary. Suddenly the member of Congress is no longer out for Clappers head.
Or heres another fictitious premise. CIA director Petraeus deviates from the Obama administrations official line on Benghazi. Somewhere in a private room, a small group of government operatives culls through data to find out who Petraeus had been emailing and calling. Any skeletons in that closet? A review of his file reveals some unseemly contacts with his former biographer. That information could come in very handy.

GOPe has not a clue. They are so wrapped up in DC power, they no longer know America.
