GovTrack: Cloture vote on S. 1867


http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2011-212&utm_source=@SenateFloor


37 Republicans & 49 Democrats & 2 Independents voted for it.

RRD:When evaluating a piece of legislation there are certain questions that must be answered before supporting it.

*Is this something the Government has the legal authority to do.

*Is this directed against a actual problem.


*Does this bill present any rationally forseeable consequences that outweigh the benefits of the legislation.

*If the bill's end is legitimate,can the same result be achieved with less risk to the liberties of a individual,through another piece of legislation.


So far as I can tell none of these questions were adequately answered before passing this bill.
So far as I can tell the U.S. Senate just passed a bill that effectively guts all of our liberties by giving the current president (& future presidents) the power to lock up any & all of us at his discretion.
No court review.Even if the courts are functioning.Not even a FISA-type court,(which would at least be independent of the President).No oversight.Just "shut up",as Lindsey Graham put it.Since you've been accused of being a terrorist.Anyone remember Richard Jewell?Wen Ho Lee?Jewell was a hero,his reward was to be crucified by the media.
I think I will vomit.To think I supported some of these creatures.
Destroying the greatest nation on earth is a bi-partisan exercise.
Our fate now rests in the hands of The US House,& possibly Obama.
God save us all from our protectors.
