Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Still seeing people who appear to believe if Amash-Conyers passes it will instantly be law. Where's @normative w/his Schoolhouse Rock?

        @emptywheel I believe, Constitutionally speaking, it will cause Senators McCain and Graham to issue a statement that pisses me off.

        @conor64 Which is another way of saying that if it passes, it will ensure debate CONTINUES, albeit w/McCain/Graham blathering as part of it

        @emptywheel @normative Have you written anything on how 3rd Party Doc figures into NSA/FBI's justifications?

        @normative Solely because of 3rd Party Doc? That is profoundly flawed.

        @normative So why no groundswell to, at the very least, revisit 3rd Party Doctrine?
