Congress Slips CISA Into a Budget Bill That’s Sure to Pass

Sen. Ron Wyden, a person who fought against this described it as:
"A surveillance bill by another name."
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

This is a strategy the republicans have been doign recently. Stick a bill into legislation that needs to pass, despite not having much if anything to do with the legislation. The republican party has been more obstructionist than any party has in a long time, if ever in this country, from what I've heard.

People say this exact same thing about literally every opposition party that's been in congress in my lifetime. I mean almost the exact same line. I see it on here all the time with no real proof and certainly no comparisons to previous opposition parties to back it up. I'm open to the idea, but I need proof, not just repetitive statements.
