Wow, coming out of the ‘rat-dominated Senate, no less. I’m surprised at the strength of the aye votes.

Yup, believable. That’s right after the “Don’t worry honey, I’m sterile” promise.

Let’s get realistic. What are “they” gonna do to a state or community? Stop Federal handouts? All that does is penalize the folks living there.

IMHO, the person who released the info should be tracked down. A mandatory $100,000 fine and a mandatory 10 years in solitary confiment in a Supermax prison. Maybe that would be sufficient motivation to not do it.

The amendment is largely symbolic, as evidenced by the scant attention it got Thursday on Capitol Hill.

So if the press is not in full cheerleader mode for it like they were for the main gun control bill the vote is merely symbolic.

Looks like a message received is a lesson learned.

Well, I haapened to be in the Senate gallery when Toomey was speaking about no *States are obliged* to turn over their lists......but, he said, *they will loose 15% of their gov’t funding under [some bill I never heard of].....public extortion.

At that moment I had to be escorted from the gallery B4 I screamed out some obscenity! Really.

"From the mid-1990s to 2010, police departments in Maine received more than $54 million from Community Operations Policing Services, much of it paying for additional police officers, school resource officers and new law enforcement technology."

WHAT! $54M in additional federal "funding"? For a state with fewer people (1,329,192 in 2010) than any of the top 41 CITIES in the USA...?

The waste, fraud, and abuse of government largess - stealing from citizens without representation or due process - is incomprehensible.
