Cruz was the sole objecting senator, who claimed without evidence that Wyden’s bill could disrupt law enforcement, “such as knowing where sexual predators are living.”

Pedophile defender, Ted Cruz, doesn't want you or your children to have privacy. I wonder why...
I read the article, but I’m missing how ONE dissenting senator was able to derail the whole thing?
It's because how it came about and how the process works (which they make up for themselves btw) it needed unanimous consent.
Ted Cruz blocks bill that would extend privacy protections to all Americans
Real Headline: The American government is corrupt and compromised, top to bottom, side to side. No one gets a pass. Not from the current admin or any previous admin. You do not go into US politics on a mere government salary and exit politics a multi millionaire.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz
I do not like his backwards views
Cant allow privacy in a dictatorship.
This guy here, is a great example of how other people ruin life on this world
FUCK TED CRUZ!
But not proper fuck
I'm thinking some rough hewn pine is appropriate. Tire irons are usually painted and smooth. There is no point of such luxury here.
Think of the pedofiles. Clutches pearls
You can't see the hand under his desk squeezing harder and harder.
Instructions unclear, is he supposed to like that?
Well of course. If he didn't, it would be anti-capitalism and therefore terrorism.
Senate rules are embarrassing. One corrupt person can block a law that would benefit everyone in the country. The vast majority of US senators are bribed by dozens of wealthy donors.
But one senator van jam up a bill that would hurt too.
Given how weak and sold out the Democrats are, nothing happening is far better than what the Republicans want. That is actually what the Democrats base their entire electoral strategy on, aiming to do aiming to do nothing.
It is extremely undemocratic.
A single senator from a state with less population than a small city (500,000) in California can stop a law that would benefit tens of millions of people. It makes the votes of less populous states disproportionately more powerful than a vote from a large state.
Sure, bit with so many offices captured by nazi allies and nhilistic pieces of shit, less is more right now.
Now is the reason the system was set up like this, specifically so a minority can jam up the majority pushing through a bunch of plutovratic nazi shit.
There are only 6 cities in california with >500,000 population... I don't think you can call that a small city. Your point still stands, but let's not get crazy with our words here.
Forget that, won't someone think of the pedophiles?!
Don't worry citizen. Ted will!
The only time Texans get a break from Ted Cruz is when there’s a natural disaster.
He's one of those politicians that I just can't understand every time they get re-elected. Like Schumer, or Graham. Voters are just the worst.
Don't forget MTG! Tons of her constituents are immigrants, too! (Indian)
The one that I could never understand was Mitch McConnell.
Honestly! I was in Texas for the Snowpocalypse and I naively thought everyone had woken up to his sniveling spineless ways.
I genuinely thought "Even if Trump wins, Texas will get Allred."
Then November happened and I was so fucking baffled. Cruz is reportedly abhored by EVERYONE.
When he goes on vacation with his family, Texans had better watch out
I think what should happen next is that every aspect of Ted Cruz's life should be made public. When he sits at his table eating his morning cereal there should be cameramen outside livestreaming it for the world to see.
So this means he should have no privacy too right? Hahaha oh wait right he's special.
Protect the pedophiles, but not the privacy of the people that you yourself receive.
Other than this, i dont understand how so many politicians around the world do not understand the importance of privacy rights? The size and number of data breaches that have been happening lately has been skyrocketing and I am genuinely baffled how anyone can think it is a good idea to force people (like they are in the UK currently) to submit very sensitive IDs like passports or driver's licenses to the governments when... yeah, the UK government had a breach very recently with tons of data leaked...
Laws governing data privacy and corporation collection of information should have been very strictly regulated in the very early 2000s, we are fucking super late in the game.

They do understand their importance. They understand that they have to suppress those rights to continue in power.
Additionally, they understand that a fundamental lack of privacy is great for security and ultimately, their wallets.
Data brokers make a shit ton of money.... No surprise they got to someone to block this
I hate this so much. Special people get special treatment - everyone else can just get fucked, I guess.
Ah, yes, Ted "let's stop attacking pedophiles" Cruz
I don't know if that's better than Ted "The Zodiac Killer" Cruz
i do not like that man ted cruz...
