Jim Himes Joins Bipartisan Effort to Spy on US Citizens

Jim Himes loves to bemoan the lack of bipartisanship in Washington. Good news everyone, Mr. Himes joined in the bipartisan effort to allow the NSA to spy on US citizens by voting against the Amash Amendment.

According to the NY Times

In one of the most unusual votes in years, the House on Wednesday barely defeated an amendment to curtail the National Security Agency’s collection of every phone record, limiting it to records of people targeted in investigations.

Imagine that, only allowing the NSA, which until the Patriot Act was restricted from spying on US citizens, to only spy on people targeted in investigations?

Himes joined Nancy Pelosi (D),  Steny Hoyer (D), John Boehner (R), Eric Cantor (R) in voting against the clearly dangerous and illegal subversion of our right to privacy and voting for general warrants.

Mr. Himes is against the Patriot Act, but for allowing the NSA to spy on you.
