Title: Senator Mitch McConnell To Obama: Please, Just Tell Us What Law You Need To Ban Encryption And You'll Get It

from the begging-to-undermine-american-security dept

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has always been a friend of the intelligence community, but he's using the attack in San Bernadino to ramp up the anti-encryption insanity to new levels, practically begging President Obama to tell him what law he wants to ban encryption, and McConnell will help make sure Congress delivers. McConnell's statement was laying out what he thought President Obama should do in response to ISIS, and includes this ridiculous line:
He should tell us what legal authorities he needs to defeat encrypted online communications, and what is needed to reestablish our capture, interrogation, and surveillance capabilities.
"Defeat encrypted online communications"? Is he crazy? We need encrypted online communications to better protect us, and yet McConnell is trying to undermine those communications. He's actively proposing to make us all less safe. And, of course, talking about "reestablishing" our "surveillance capabilities" is about giving the NSA more surveillance powers. McConnell was, of course, the key person who tried to block any attempt at rolling back the NSA's unconstitutional phone records collection program.

Now, we know that President Obama didn't go quite as far as McConnell asked, but he did still push for a more "voluntary" solution -- which may morph into Congress doing something if people don't speak out loudly about what an incredibly dumb idea this is.

It is like banning door locks (or making them weak) to help police to fight crime. So they can do secret searches in the suspected burglar's houses.

#5. To: Stoner, *The Two Parties ARE the Same* (#3)

Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 52% is the most unpopular U.S. Senator, according to a new national survey.

The poll released by Morning Consult finds McConnell is the only senator with a disapproval rating higher than 50 percent. McConnell has a 52 percent disapproval rating among Kentucky voters, while only 38 percent approve of his job performance.

People hate him, But vote for whomever Fox News tells them to, Mitch Obamas Bitch.

Voting for someone who doesn't want to destroy America, like an independent or third party is not an option for TV viewing sheeple. It's Fox News (R), or MSNBC (D). You're a Conspiracy Theory freak if you believe that other options exist.
