So what happens to this place?
Thank You Mr. Paul.
Now defeat the USA “Freedom” Act in the Senate. Good Luck with that.
The “USA Freedom” Act has as much to do with Freedom as the U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act had to do with Patriots.
Not getting excited about the NSA losing ‘Authority’ as the IRS, DOJ, EPA, et al, not to mention Golf-1 and the missus seem to skip along quite merrily deconstructing the Constitution absent any authority.
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection, and Online Monitoring Act?
Who comes up with this crap? These are our leaders? Really? I mean...REALLY?!?
I wonder if the bill that introduced Prohibition had the short title U.S.A. F.R.E.E. B.E.E.R. Act.
Big F’ing deal. Now they’ll just go back to collecting any data they want illegally. If anyone thinks the federal government has been bound by the law in living memory, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Yeah, I’ll bet the nsa ran right over to the Breaker Box and flipped that one to the “off” position.
Now back to that Swampland I have for sale in Arizona and the Anarctic...
I wouldn’t worry too much. They’ll find another way to do the same thing, just give them time. One thing about “GOVERNMENTS”, they either have to get bigger or that government will die. It’s the job of governments to eventually oppress their people. Oh, they’ll hide behind the CONSTITUTION, while they eviscerate the CONSTITUTION.
I don’t believe that Rand was ‘grandstanding’. He went after something was wasn’t being used the way it was written.
If this ACT was helping, why didn’t it catch the Fort Hood shooter? Why didn’t it catch the ‘boston bombers’?
What Rand did was bring out into the public eye the misuse...do I think its going to stop...no...but we know more now than we did...
Should Rand do more, yes...immigration, TTP, IRS, Clinton files, and maybe he will, but at least he’s doing something....
I don’t see the rest of the candidates doing anything but going around the country talking about ‘this is what I will do’ and ‘that is what I would have done’ just like everyone that campaigns, but when they get the ‘office’ they do the ‘kool aid’ drinking...
Rand has stood up and done something, and you can bet that bambaboy has a ‘terrorist’ act up his sleeve waiting to happen so he can: (1) tell the American people “See I told you so” and (2) get ready to cause a huge problem to enact Marshall Law so doesn’t have to leave office....
That’ll stop them. /s
According to the 2nd Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, NSA never had this authority. Congress did not authorize this in the original Patriot Act nor its extension. We - the people of the U.S. and most of our Congressmen (other than the Chairs and ranking members of the intelligence committee) - only found out about this because of Edward Snowden.
YEAH!!
It’s called probable cause. It’s called the constitution.
Hopefully now, they will craft policy that allows intelligence to do it’s job and not treat American citizens as suspects.
Big win for the constitution. Thank you Senator Paul.
So what happens to this place?
Funny how most here are so disillusioned by Congress, that when ONE, and one of those ‘nasty’ (L), HEAVEN forbid, shows what’s what...they still attack the messenger.
Bitch: “Nobody does nothing about our Freedom/Liberty”
Rand : Spotlight in the darkness...
Reply: “Well, now he’s just grand-standing” or “Like that’ll do anything”
Well, which is it? You can’t have it both ways, folks. Whom ELSE is standing up with the man? Or are you just there to complain?
Well Americans this is your big chance to talk Jihad on the phone. I know everyone has been waiting for this opportunity. Every moment that they are not collecting our phone records puts this country at great risk. Not. :-)
Next step, target DOJ
Now does this act specifically say that the NSA is the agency that can’t scoop up all this info?
So they just quietly move the official “ownership” of the data to a different agency or manufacture a new one.
