Bill:H.R. 2397: Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014
Amendment:H.Amdt. 413 (Amash) to H.R. 2397: To end authority for the blanket collection of records under the Patriot Act. It would also bar the NSA and other agencies from using Section 215 of the Patriot Act to collect records, including telephone call records…
The amendment failed. The most interesting part of the failure to pass the amendment is the following… Make sure you are sitting down… Also, make sure you mouth is empty so you don’t spit out anything all over your monitor, etc… Its gonna blow your mind… Ready… ….
62 percent of the defeating vote was made up of Republicans… Yes, members of the party outraged over “Obama tapping our phones” were the MAJORITY of those who voted AGAINST repealing the ability to perform these “taps”…
Yes… You read that correctly….
The Republican Party bitches about how Barack Obama is so awful because of the NSA phone surveillance that was recently revealed, and then they are the majority voting NO to stop it. What a bunch of frauds.
