House Dismantles Fourth Amendment While America Distracted
APRIL 20, 2013

While Americans were focusing on the Boston Marathon bombings and defending the Second Amendment to the Constitution from the Senate’s efforts to eliminate guns, the House was busy about the business of destroying the Fourth Amendment.

After two days of debate this week, the House passed CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, by a vote of 288-127, with 18 abstaining. The legislation would allow the federal government to engage private sector firms — think Google — in the business of monitoring your emails, postings and user data for nebulous “threat information” which would then be shared “voluntarily” without need for any sort of warrant.

Bye-bye, 4th Amendment.

Unfortunately, so do I.  I see them giving this law a pass.

Anyone know of a web browser that won't fall into this trap?
