Why can't we find this kind of energy and commonsense from Democrats when Paul Ryan

Trump,McConnell,Mulvaney,Bannon and the rest of the gang come up with all of these other crazy schemes

Most, seem to come out with their standard speech,

5. Darrell Issa sold the internet privacy of voters in Ca49th for $66,275

Issa does not need the money (Issa is the richest member of Congress) and has often showcased himself as a "champion" of the little guy against Big Cyber. Well, obviously, he is not.

Since the Repugs in Congress voted so callously to violate the internet privacy of the American public, can states (like Ca with Dem legislaturees/Governors) pass a law to stop this?

8. TY and I saw one state (Indiana?) already researching legislating against this

Can't imagine Ca and NY State Legislatures also aren't going to try to shut this down. And it'll go to SCOTUS.

The DNC have to spend every cent lying around and make an immediate ad against every Repub who sold their voters' privacy and, double hit, Gorsuch...the Corporations Uber Alles Judge, as SCOTUS who will make sure it sticks.

Like Colbert said the other night, not one single American voted for anyone to sell their internet privacy.

9. Amazing isn't it, that they would take moola" then go around and brag that they serve and protect

"people" (which ones I don't know AT&T and Verizon, Comcast, Sprint, T-Mobile, are more important for giving the CHUMP CHANGE, and those same entities if this can be imagined, because it was ruled as such, is in some since sense, because, of the cronies sitting on the republican bench under John Roberts, they in essence can now walk in and now vote in the district they live in depending on which main street USA they have building, after all all of those buildings are people toooooo.) and if people where to think about that for one second, just think of all of the Verizon stores in each district going to vote across the country, some how.

And it was all "republicans" the same ones like I said in the beginning that TOOT the horn of BS about protecting individual rights--------------------right.

A couple of big states need to file, and this is another reason to keep this dick**** Gorsuch off the court. It really despicable that someone would say yes to a sexual predator to just jump a head of the line to put his Hobby Lobby, Transcom Trucking mentality BS on everyone, someone that thinks stealing a seat is better than earning the privilege-------------amazing
