Cyber Security Enhancement Act Passes Senate

XorNand writes "The Cyber Security Enhancement Act (which was attached to the Homeland Security Act) was overwelming approved by the U.S. Senate today. According the EFF this soon-to-be-law allows "any government entity (federal, state, or local) to request email and voicemail from your ISP or telephone provider without a warrant or probable cause." The passage of the Homeland Security Bill is covered here on CNN.com. Yippee."

Thank You Republican Voters!

I'd like to thank everyone out there who voted GOP and gave complete control of the government to the fascists. Before the election -- when the senate was still controlled by the Democrats -- the senate version of the Fatherland Security Bill was 35 pages long. After the election, it balloned to over 400 pages -- including this noxious bit -- with pro-business and pro-repression amendments introduced by the Compassionate Conservatives.

Welcome to George Bush's America. It's going to be a very long two years.
