It’s true, the great “civil liberties champion” Barack Obama is a co-sponsor of a bill that will create a National Fingerprint Registry. Of course, prepare to hear Republicans touting this as some sort of evil invasion of privacy. I believe that anyone who supports Bush to this day, including his policies of wiretapping and domestic surveillance, should be 100 percent in support of this bill to stay consistent regardless of party lines. There is no reason to oppose this bill–if you don’t like Obama’s reasoning, then declare it is because it is necessary for national security reasons.
I’m not being faceitous, I am being serious. There is no good objection to this by a Republican (or Democrat) that supported the administration’s wiretapping and domestic surveillance, their push for the Real ID/National ID Card, or nationalizing the TSA.
