Last year's effort died before it got to a floor vote. But luckily the Democrats have priorities, and one of those priorities is undermining domestic intelligence:

In the background, some of this is being driven by a general distaste for any kind of domestic monitoring. One of the stories that broke right after the last effort failed was about the monitoring of peace activists who rubbed shoulders with very non-peace activists:

Speaking of which - we would kind of like to know how deeply they were involved with ANSWER and CAIR terrorist enablers.
