According to a report in The Intercept:
the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, is down to just a single voting member — which means it has been stripped of nearly all its powers
But concern over this is really based on a false notion. That is, the federal government should be trusted to police itself.
That’s totally opposite of what founders like James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams – and so many others – told us to do.
No one in their right mind should trust the US government to police itself.#nullify #tlot #liberty #10thAmendment https://t.co/cmUbhZUzSo
