Really makes you think about whether there are some things that can still transcend partisan showmanship, like national security.

I still am a believer in digital freedom, I'm old enough to have seen the changes in the Internet, and it is a much more malevolent and fucked up force than it was even 15 years ago. Maybe, just maybe, the government needs the power to spy on international targets with oversight.

with oversight

The constitution's term for this is "warrant".

When didn't they ever claim that sky will fall if they don't have all the surveillance they already do, and then some for good measure?
