Either in public or on this board, the left was entirely unwilling to address the bill's shortcomings. They in essence played a game of chicken where they forgot that the goal of it is to know when the flinch. They wouldn't compromise and the Republicans called their bluff. Now they're right back where they are.

Your people killed the bill right as we were finding out the details. On you.

left wing proponents of the bill were never really able to wrap their heads around the simple fact that emergency powers that lock in (what used to be) a record of daily encounters is not a good thing.

NO, actually it was YOU that refused to understand that for the past three years we've been well above that average and are now over twice that. Repeatedly you came back with 5k a day is a record. It hasn't been for some time.
