>The HN title, which is all I've read so far

So you didn't read the article, which was the original complaint of the root comment. If you can't take 30 seconds to read about legislation that could significantly impact the power of the security state to spy on the American public, you're not doing your duty as a citizen.

Nothing in the title indicated that it was about legislation that could significantly impact the power of the security state to spy on the American public. I thought Obama was legalizing torture.

So why would I read it?

If you keep this point of view, then no one will do their duty as a citizen.

If you take a systemic stance on improving the problem, then you have a chance at improving the rate at which people do their duty as citizens.

Your choice.
