Shua raises an excellent point. Do we not have power to overrule any DOJ action?
Also this is just a response to what the NYPD did, where I do think they overreached and the DOJ was right in investigating their actions. So voting for this would be tantamount to approving what the NYPD did and I cannot do that. Mindless profiling is wrong. Looking at an entire community as suspects, like was done with the Japanese during World War 2, is wrong. Although some level of surveillance needs to be done, the powers of the police must be limited. The FBI also does similar surveillance but they have rules limiting what they can report on. Why should people who have done nothing wrong have their names put in reports? How would you feel if all evangelicals and their churches are spied on to make sure none of them go and bomb abortion clinics?
