Vatic Note: Just wanted you all to know exactly who the "traitors" were who voted against ending the NSA Constitutionally violating acts of spying. The members who did this followed "illegal orders", clearly based on the Constitution and their oath of office. That is two major crimes. Both carry jail sentences. Receiving orders, does not change the Constitution, therefore they followed Illegal orders forbidden by their oath of office.
So are we going to take note of who voted what way? We better and then call their office and wish them Bye bye..... next election. Not that the election won't be rigged, but at least it forces them to rig it if we let them know we won't vote for them again.
Presenting the full roll call breakdown of the Amash Amendment (as described previously) to shutter the NSA's surveillance function.
First the Ayes, or those who voted to end the NSA's surveillance activity. Republicans in roman, Democrats in italic, Independents underlined.
And here are the 217 for whom "protection against terrorism" is of tantamount importance. Certainly more important than the privacy of US citizens.
Finally, since the margin of passage was 12 votes, it is of note that precisely 12 representatives did not vote. The following 12:
- Barletta
- Beatty
- Bustos
- Campbell
- Coble
- Herrera Beutler
- Horsford
- McCarthy (NY)
- Negrete McLeod
- Pallone
- Rokita
- Schock
