    Government—including the FBI, NSA, and other agencies—is full of people with biases and bad judgment. They’re no different from people anywhere. Yet Rs and Ds keep reauthorizing unconstitutional legislation like the #PatriotAct and #FISA702. Stop giving government so much power!

        Our 4th Amendment’s being raped by NSA & FBI but there’s no public outcry only silence. Have we become a nation sheep? I dreamed of #LibertyRising but recent primaries exposed the hypocrisy of people claiming to want to #MAGA yet Failed to nominate @NickForVA @ShaneTHazel

        Nothing to do with good and bad. He’s saying power needs to be dispersed in govt to avoid abuse. Govt surveillance Peis a powerful tool, and people given the power to abuse the rights of other people, will by and large, at some point abuse that power.

        And of course: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely” so we the people must seek to limit power of govt officials, and use the check & balance system to disperse it among congress versus consolidating under the POTUS...and create transparency into whatever powers we do grant.

        It's great that you can complain about the government, just like the rest of us. It's too bad you don't actually DO anything about it, since you have the ability to, unlike the rest of us.

        One person out of 435. And the leadership is too terrified of the dictator wanna-be to even remotely consider anything that might upset him. I imagine it's even more frustrating for Congressman Amash than it is for either of us. And it's plenty frustrating.

        That's why we elected him: to stand up for us. If he isn't going to then he needs to step aside and let someone who isn't afraid to do their job.

        But, you realize there's only so much a single Congressman can do, as he's not only 1 of 435 people who have an equal say in a vote, but 1 of 535 total. Can you point to specific examples of things that would've been swung by one single vote especially related to the President?

        If he doesn't have enough of a voice to make a difference then he has no business doing the job. There's Congress people that are known all over the world because they speak their truth and they don't sit silent. An excuse to justify inaction....

        But here's my point: he hasn't been silent at all. He's "spoken his truth" on several occasions. The funny thing is that all you're doing is generalizing and not pointing to specific examples. In reference to this though, he's introduced legislation. What more do you want?

        What truth? I've been canvassing in his district and guess what. When I ask people what are the issues that are the most important to them, not one of them is anything he talks about. All of them are things he never talks about.

        And when government employees abuse the power assigned to an agency, accountability must be more than reassignment. Too often these bad actors have suffered little consequence.

        The Pepsi Schumer regime has a combine net worth of 30 million dollars. All while the homeless population and poverty rate of their district increases. We are no longer a republic but a oligarchic stare rule by rich people.
