The Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act
Republicans again sell out American Citizens by including the CLOUD Act to be rolled into the Omnibus Spending bill.
Trump's Dumb Stooges sure are not much for protecting American Citizens from foreign governments.
Quote:
The bill would strip power away from Congress and the judicial branch, giving Sessions and Pompeo (and future executive branch officials) virtually unchecked authority to negotiate data exchange agreements with foreign nations, regardless of whether they respect human rights or not. That's a major shift from current law, and one that Congress should reject.
Imagine if the names were AG Lynch and Sec. of State Clinton, you trust them to decide these issues.
Aside from the shameful spending, including this in the spending bill should prompt Trump's Dumb Stooges to demand a veto of the bill.
I am willing to bet not a single one will and he signs and they will go on defending him no matter what actually happens.
