It's important to point out that many of these senators are also members of the Intelligence committee and are receiving regular reports from intelligence agencies as part of their senatorial duties. It is logical to think that these agencies are using these briefings to lobby senators for changes that directly impact their performance. It's highly unlikely this comes from a place of malice, but rather is a second order effect of organizational incentives to do better work. Regardless, it's important for citizens to fight back against this pressure as it can be conceived as a potentially never-ending erosion of human rights.

Hahahahaha Of course. Of course Cruz and Hawley are actually angels that are a victim of circumstances. Collins? Fucking immaculate. I don't know how many times we have to "fight back" when they come uo with this BS. They should just cut it out and serve the people that elected them. PS: Mandatory "Think about the children!"

  Unfortunately I see one senator on here I previously thought highly of (and yeah, not Cruz or Hawley).

  They are serving lots of constituents. There's no absolute block across all the people in a state. People have different ideas. I hate all these "spy on you and disable encryption". But it's not like there's a uniform view of how to approach this. Plenty of people respond to "think of the children".

    Yes. They are "serving". Especially Cancun Cruz. Seriously, they are not serving anyone.

      He's getting his base excited because he's such a reliable putz, seeing the extreme danger from the existence of trans people. Getting votes is how they claim to serve people. I was just referring to the fact that those kinds of people do get votes, they read the room.

        I am not disagreeing. I am just saying their net contributions to society are negative.
