To keep “freedom of speech” safely where it belongs....in the hands of the Government.
Only for the 90% of "conservatives" who spend their day worrying about Sanford, FL and Obama's vacations.
You can be sure Mr Constitution (Levin) won't utter a peep about it on the air.
Boy, this 2010 Tea Party House sure is for limited government! /sarc
Oh...there won’t be much fuss here on Free Republic just as there wasn’t much fuss over SOFA or NDAA.
This site is going small “f” for “free”.
Glad to see my Pubbie Congressman, Thad McCotter, was one of the few Republicans to vote against this bill.
Here’s some excerpts from this website
Basically this {Quayle’s amendment} means CISPA can no longer be called a cybersecurity bill at all. The government would be able to search information it collects under CISPA for the purposes of investigating American citizens with complete immunity from all privacy protections as long as they can claim someone committed a “cybersecurity crime”. Basically it says the 4th Amendment does not apply online, at all. Moreover, the government could do whatever it wants with the data as long as it can claim that someone was in danger of bodily harm, or that children were somehow threatenedagain, notwithstanding absolutely any other law that would normally limit the government’s power.
. . .
CISPA is now a completely unsupportable bill that rewrites (and effectively eliminates) all privacy laws for any situation that involves a computer. Far from the defense against malevolent foreign entities that the bill was described as by its authors, it is now an explicit attack on the freedoms of every American.
It makes no difference between D or R politicians. They are all beholden to the lobby money. They all look at us citizens as potentially guilty of something while they take money from their corporate bribers and their cash cows.
No corporation should get immunity at the sacrifice of and taxpayer and citizens expense and privacy. We the people are the “owners” of the USA, not corporations or special interests. Our politicians of both Parties look at it as just the opposite.
