Did you know Joe Biden was the drafter of the Patriot Act, and thus the godfather of our modern surveillance state?



Biden drafted the bill in the mid-nineties, but it was so flagrantly unconstitutional it got nowhere. But then in the hysteria after 9/11 the Bush administration repackaged Biden's bill, it passed overwhelmingly and the surveillance state was born. e.g. http://tinyurl.com/y6ry24bu

Thank you Ms Romero. As usual windbag is talking out his overly ample ass. @beckyromero

@beckyromero Thank you for posting this. Jackass will note that not a single Title in the proposed 1995 bill is the same as those passed in the Patriot Act in 2001. Biden did sponsor the 1995 bill, but he did not write the Patriot Act in 2001. Both cover some of the same ground, but there are significant differences, primarily with respect to surveillance.

Yes, much in the same way clothes are clothes, but there's a difference between what Nancy Pelosi wears and what Kim Kardashian wears. Not sure also why the OP is brining this up. Must be trivia week.

You’re fooling no one. Not even yourself. You know that is lame 😂 @windinhishair

[@Jackoffjjackassonjr] Didn't bother to read it, did you?
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I read it ACCURATELY unlike some people. @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson Then you are delusional, since every Title is different, and both bills cover different items within each Title. But you never let facts get in the way of your old diatribes. Carry on.

It’s shuffled somewhat like a deck of cards but the cards are the same. @windinhishair

@jackjjackson Nope and very, very lame attempt at recovery from a clear loss.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Sorry Ms Chandler and Ms Romero are correct and you’re wrong as usual. Take up your issues with them. My hat is tipped to both of those lovely ladies. @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@jackjjackson I have no issue with either of them. Only you for ruining a good post because you are triggered.

Sometimes you can be on the internet just fine, but for whatever reason you can't reach a certain site.
