It's hopeless at this point. We have no chance to stop this when our elected representatives put up zero fight to achieve the one bipartisan objective that's emerged this Congress; namely, protecting their constituents (the people who voted for them) from unconstitutional intrusions into their personal lives.

Across the board. This adjusted view, in part, explains why they'll never vote against this much power. No matter how bipartisan-populist any one's rhetoric.
