This is outrageous!



quote:

Republican senators have slipped a provision into the Continuing Resolution bill to re-open government, that forbids the DOJ or Judicial branch from subpoenas targeting their phone records. The Senate will be protected from abuses to the 4th amendment, but you and me – no such luck.

Additionally, as further evidence to the structural priorities of the professional Republicans, if the legislative provision is violated, each instance of violation will result in a $500,000 payment to the senator. Go figure.

Yes it is outrageous and certainly the Democrats will make sure it is pulled from the CR.

How many democrats are speaking out against it right now? Fetterman?

No more faking it with committees to direct other committees to write sternly worded letters to Obama in his mansion.

Plus they don't want their fingerprints all over J6 and getting Trump in peach mints---- shown before they get the reins back with their D and R puppets.

Senator a to senator b: you release my records and I’ll release yours. Taxpayers owe us both $500k

yeah, and they will move on like it was no biggie with no justice served. Did they also sneak in another COLA raise?

Speaker Peabody and KenDoll Thune all good. Their bank accounts are loaded up as America fries.

So will Americans and Flynn get $500,000 payments every time they were spied on?

Nope. Just the coveted congress critters.

They need to write a bill that all of their pay is docked from when they sat on their asses for a month---- and did nothing but write bills against Trump's tariffs their lobbyists demanded.

Can Trump refuse to sign and have this removed?

They will cover their asses and leave the rest of us to be deplorables; they wished they could J6 us all.
