Half Of Senate Leaves Before NSA Briefing…Really?

Half Of Senate Leaves Before NSA Briefing…Really?

So this is where we are, politicians that are the peoples voice, charged with your best interests in mind, don’t bother to show up for infringements on your privacy. Find out who did not attend, and vote them out. This is unforgivable!

Less than half (47) of US Senators attended a classified briefing on Thursday afternoon, instead choosing to head home for the weekend.  The briefing was with “with James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, Keith Alexander, the head of the National Security Agency (NSA), and other officials.”

Wow.

The last vote in the Senate was on Thursday around noon, so our elected officials chose to take advantage of the early weekend and leave town.  ”Only 47 of 100 senators attended the 2:30 briefing, leaving dozens of chairs in the secure meeting room empty as Clapper, Alexander and other senior officials told lawmakers about classified programs to monitor millions of telephone calls and broad swaths of Internet activity.”

So your precious leaders could not find time for this? Wake up kids.

    1. Tim – Sad but true. I could not believe it when I read the story. They stand up and squawk about their outrage but don’t bother showing up so they can get vacations started. Makes my blood boil.
