US lawmakers vote against legislation to curb NSA's spying program

Exactly, this is a strange bedfellows “victory” in the making. The next bill that gets voted on about this will be a new blanket ban on abortion, redistricting to further disenfranchise minorities, a special kickstart to a 10 billion-dollar bridge over the Rockies in the middle of nowhere Colorado for fracking trucks, AND a sidebar to restrict the NSA from collecting phone records between June 1st and June 2nd 2019, BUT to double their funding for anti-terrorist activity. And the bill will be named “The Electronic Privacy Act of 2013.” I mean, this isn’t going to be that far from the truth of how it will all go down.
