Cliff note version anyone? Is this something we should be watching?

I know that Goodlatte (who just announced he is retiring) is one of the 'good guys' from a Libertarian point of view.

But I somehow can't help thinking that anything that calls itself the "Liberty Act" will somehow end up screwing us all over... in the small print.

It's just how The Swamp seems to be working...

Oh and since when do we get granted liberties? Except by the creator... Every time they pass something like this... it seems to reduce liberties.

Pessimistic today. For some reason.

We have the kind and warm-hearted example of the Patriot Act to go on in a comparative regard.

How about a "Just follow the fucking Constitution Act" and we call it a day.

I know that if Congress is working on something with Liberty in the title we are screwed.

i know that if congress is working on anything we are screwed.

FIFY

Congressional sessions should last 60 days at most. After that they need to get the fuck out and get a real job.

ETA: unless that act is a repeal of the patriot act, then it's more of the same shit. Fuck him.
