US House of Representatives Votes To Cut Funding To NSA
An anonymous reader writes: The U.S. House of Representatives voted late Thursday night, 293 to 123, to approve an amendment to the NSA's appropriations bill that cuts all funding for warrantless surveillance and for programs that force companies to create backdoors in their products. The success of this vote in the House is attributed to the fact that the amendment did not have to go through the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees and also to the increasingly apparent unpopularity of NSA activities among voters. Although privacy advocates laud the vote, there are those who note that the amendment specifically applies to the NSA and CIA while remaining silent on other agencies such as the FBI. The appropriations bill in its entirety will now proceed to the Senate for approval."
Yea but hold on here.
You shitbirds hate the Republicans and just love yourselves some Obama socialism.
You also don't want the NSA to intrude on your "civil liberties" or whatever you are calling this.
And we see the Republicans just barely trying to reign in Obama and the progressives.
But you fucksticks still hate Repiblicans and love Obama right? Is that about it?
