I sent a letter to both Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio and told them neither one of them would ever get my vote if they voted for this assualt on my constitutional freedoms.
Obama has been worse with my personal freedoms than Bush. The whole gunning down a US citizen without a trial, was my last straw.
Mr. Speaker, may I address the
claims made by the Honorable Sen. Nutman?
President Barack Obama has threatened a veto, arguing the measures would complicate civilian intelligence gathering. FBI director Robert Mueller and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta have objected as well.
Perhaps, Mr. Speaker, this is why the also Esteemed Sen. Nelson voted for the entire bill?
"We have to look at the issue and say, 'America, is this what we want to do?' " said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who offered one of the amendments to remove the detainee language.
(Rubio voted against her amendment; Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson was in favor of it, though, like Rubio, voted for the overall defense bill.)
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, would it not be reasonable to pass a rule blocking amendments to the DAB that don't have anyfuckingthing to do with it in the future?
That would make it soooo much easier for our Republican House and Filibuster-loving Republicans in the Senate to go back to their honored tradition of doing nothing.
