[TTAG] Senator Joe Manchin, whom you may recall from his star turn promoting the failed Manchin-Toomey universal background check push after Sandy Hook, is still busy in the Senate. He’s the "centrist" West Virginia Democrat who, in a 50-50 world, is described by many as the upper chamber’s most powerful Senator. But if those on the right are looking to Manchin as a safeguard against some of the left’s most ambitious attacks on individual freedoms, a bill he just introduced should be cause for concern.His S. 27 is described as a bill to require reporting of "suspicious transmissions" in order to assist in criminal investigations and counterintelligence activities relating to international terrorism, and "for other purposes." It promises to do for free speech what Manchin-Toomey would have done to the Second Amendment.
What part of "He's still a Democrat” didn't you understand?
