    Democrats want to take away your freedoms and bring in big brother is watching you. This shows democrats do not care about the constitution.

    Oh stop it. This is bipartisan. If Republicans showed half an interest in stopping this crap or made any acquiescent gestures towards liberty PRIOR to Obama winning...I would have voted for them.

    The only people who care about this are like myself and 5 other people. Everyone else pretty much told us all summer and into the fall that this (*)(*)(*)(*) was just not important--GO ROMNEY!

    They should simply require that a warrant must first be obtained. We don't need more legislation setting precedents which further jeopardizes online privacy.

    This is the third attempt at this bill and it has always had full bipartisan support JUST LIKE the Patriot Act and the NDAA--both of which had surveillance wordage. There was zero outrage about any of this stuff until now because Romney supported it and it was all Anybody But Obama.

    It certainly is interesting, though not in the least bit surprising, how the majority of the people who vilified the previous administration for the Patriot Act because it "trampled all over their Constitutional rights" (though most were dead silent when Obama extended it) don't seem to mind it in the least when the Democrats attempt to pass legislation that essentially expands on the very provisions they protested just a few years ago.

    I would ask where are all the protests, except that has been clear for quite some time that the "progressives" will accept anything when it is their guy doing it even when it totally goes against what they were claiming, last week, were their core values.

    Senate bill rewrite lets feds read your e-mail without warrants


    What i find most entertaining about this story is how Patrick Leahy did a complete 180 degree change on what his bill was intended to do

    he achieved the exact opposite and for that he should be commended for being such a political pig

    Really? So any bill introduced by anybody in Congress can be used to tar the entire party that person belongs to, even if the bill garners no support from anyone else in the party?

    Interesting standard, to say the least.

    Let's face it. Both parties have a critical mass of scumbags that have no respect for the US Constitution.

    And has the GOP bothered to help stop the enroachment of our civil liberties? Honestly, this has nothing to do with parties. This has to do with our government, and no one telling them to stop. It's embarssing that the great experiment, is losing the civil liberties they fought to protect.

    What's it matter? Until it gets more sponsors or actual votes, it remains a Leahy bill and not a Democrat bill, just like if John McCain put through a bill and no other Republicans sponsored it, it would be a McCain, not a Republican, bill.
