| Older than you think! FISA was first established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. So it goes "back" even further. |

Tulsa, OK | Who are these people voting NO ... not only authorizing it, but refusing to allow even some BASIC OVERSIGHT by voting NO on very modest improvements.
Anyone who voted for re-authorization and against the amendments should be ejected from office!

Here is the votes for the bill:

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D - Calif.) chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee led those voting to extend FISA:

Feinstein argued on the floor of the Senate that electronic surveillance played a role in some of the 100 arrests in terrorism-related plots made in the last four years.

Re: Who are these people voting NO It doesn't list the NO voters on the amendments. Pair those two up and we have the people who re-authorized and opposed even modest oversight. They need to go.

| Polarization leads to another touchdown for lawmakers While left wing nutjobs and right wing loonies are throwing barbs at each other over gun rights, fiscal cliff and whatever else (fuck, these idiots would argue over whether scrambled eggs are better then over easy) they quietly slip this under the radar. It will be ignored at worst, glossed over at best by the lame stream media. Then it will be back to the same ole same ole the other side sucks.. all to get the vast majority of citizens to goto the polls and tick everything with an R or a D. That is the true problem.. they know all the shiny needed to divert our attention and take our rights. |

She is the big wheel on the Senate Intelligence Committee and is privy to spy info most in Congress never get to see. One of the so-called Gang of 8( »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_of_Eight ) that the President and his intelligence advisers must keep informed. Her knowledge of threats to US not shared with other legislators(because they can't be trusted not to leak info) may be the reason she is strongly backing these intelligence laws.
Current Members of the Gang of Eight
John Boehner (R), Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
Nancy Pelosi (D), House Minority Leader
Harry Reid (D), Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell (R), Senate Minority Leader
Mike Rogers (R), Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Dianne Feinstein (D), Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
Dutch Ruppersberger (D), Ranking Minority Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Saxby Chambliss (R), Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
All 4 Senate members of the Gang of 8 voted to extend FISA.

Re: Polarization leads to another touchdown for lawmakers Have you ever thought the contrived bickering is intentional to overshadow their true motives? Distract the public with pseudo problems and pull the rug out from the populous on the issues that affect our lives on a daily basis. |

Re: Polarization leads to another touchdown for lawmakers I have no doubt. Same way McCain-Feingold had NOTHING to do with campaign finance reform other then to make infinitely more difficult for 3rd parties to threaten the D's and R's. |

There are several hundred companies that actively track you in one way or another. Most extract anonymous data, others do the cookie thing, Still others track purchases. Dictionary.com reportedly has 240 different trackers lurking in the background, only just a few installed by Dictionary when you open an account the rest hop on for the ride. fireFox has add-ons that let you see who is tracking you, There are trackers that track trackers and on and on it goes.
