George Orwell would be proud of the double speak present in this proposed bill.

Remember all that stuff that Ed Snowden shined a light on a few years ago?  All of the illegal data collection of American citizens?  All of the shredding of the fourth amendment?  This bill will keep those things going, and Representive Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) has the gall to call it "The USA Liberty Act of 2017".

Mr. Goodlatte is not alone, here are his cosponsors:

Rep. Conyers, John, Jr. [D-MI-13]

Rep. Sensenbrenner, F. James, Jr. [R-WI-5]

Rep. Nadler, Jerrold [D-NY-10]

Rep. Smith, Lamar [R-TX-21]

Rep. Jackson Lee, Sheila [D-TX-18]

Rep. Collins, Doug [R-GA-9]

Johnson, Henry C. "Hank," Jr. [D-GA-4]

Rep. Rutherford, John H. [R-FL-4]

Rep. Deutch, Theodore E. [D-FL-22]

Rep. Chabot, Steve [R-OH-1]

Rep. Raskin, Jamie [D-MD-8]

Rep. Johnson, Mike [R-LA-4]
