@emptywheel@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 maybe I dont understand procedure but it was powerful to see an objection every time -
@weems Oh, absolutely. McConell's bid to destroy the dragnet to vastly expand it didn't work (yet)@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 its so weird that the law that purports to close dragnet opens it further. -
@weems USAF just shifts things around. What McConnell wants is vast vast expansion of dragnet.@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 is it a philosophical love of spying or is there some financial benefit? -
@weems Yes to both.@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5

@emptywheel@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 so wait, Objecting to the extensions of ever smaller amounts wasn't meaningful? -
@weems Meaningful bc it didn't accomplish what McConnell wanted, but meaningless for lapse. Was already too late@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 -
@emptywheel@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5 then maybe I dont understand how collection cant occur if the authority doesnt expire on 6/1 -
@weems There are 2 houses of Congress. Only way to keep dragnet going was and is USAF.@robertcaruso@Krhawkins5
