...dubbed the Safety Act by sponsor Lamar Smith

Further proof that if you frame a violation of constitutional rights as necessary for protection you have a better chance of success.

Clueless.

Let's see... the Republicans, rightly or wrongly, have been criticized for their domestic warrentless wiretaps of "terrorists,", and this lame-brain pulls this stunt?

"The Stupid Party" indeed.

The guy is either smoking weed

Usually, the a-holes who come up with this sort of crap NEED to smoke a little weed.

While DOABLE.... from a technical point of view, it is damn expensive, will create a huge cost burden on those with Internet connections, and

ultimately a WORTHLESS exercise.

If I want to hide my presence and actions on the Internet, I can do so in such a manner that it would be next to impossible for someone to track my actions.

Again, why I don't vote any more. It's just too late.

So you just lie down and take it. That's the spirit. The left needs more people like you... may I call you comrade? ;-)

What an idiot..... Another reason the Republican's are losing. Even if they wanted to keep all the data, where would they store it?

The First didn't even come to mind for me- what about the Fourth? How could this law pass judicial muster if phone taps still require a warrant?

When did the Republican party take a lurch towards fascism?

"There'll be no revolt in this country - ever."

Not true. Shut down starbucks, american idol, or grey's anatomy, and the people will revolt.

Take away their freedom piece by piece in the name of protecting them from some imagined boogeyman and they'll keep their heads in the sand forever.

There's a lot of money to be made in the WOT. And you don't have to actually make people safe. Just give them the impression you are.
