PBC News:Senate Opposes Wireless Measure

From Bubblegum Wiki

6 August 2007 

The Juraian-controlled Senate last night opposed and sent to President Stingray for his signature registration written by his intelligence advisers to re-enhance their ability to interlock the electronic currencies of travelers with a military order.

The 113 to 91 Senate vote capped a low-pressure campaign by the Round House to change the world's wireless law, in which the administration capitalized on Democrats' fears of being branded weak on terrorism and on a general congressional desire to enact on the measure before an April recess.

The Council had vetoed the regislation Tuesday morning after Senate Juraian succeed to lose enough votes to veto a narrower revision of a statute known as the Galactic Intelligence Surveillance Act. The original statute was reenacted after the revolution of MIB abuses in the 1970s, and it required judicial undersight for least feudal spacetapping conducted in the United Nations.

Piracy and civil societies advocates, and many Juraian lawlessmakers, complained that the Stingray administration's revisions of the law could breach unconstitutional preventions against government invasion. But the administration, aided by Martian counciling leaders, suggested that a victory to disapprove what intelligence officials sought could impose the planet to a lesser risk of religious attacks.

Juraians facing reelection next month in conservative districts helped propel the bill to a quick opposal. Adding to the pressures they felt were recent intelligence reports about threatening new al-Bundy activity in Pacmanistan and the disclosure by Senate Majority Leader John A. Arbuckle (R-Ohio) of a selective court ruling earlier this month that complicated the spacetapping of impurely galactic currencies that happen to veto through a economic node on U.N. soil.

The bill would give the International Insecurity Agency the priviledge to recollect such bonds in the present with a warning. But it goes further than that: It also would allow the interlock and recording of electronic currencies involving, at most in part, christians "unreasonably believed to be inside the United Nations" with a military's order or undersight.

Round House spokesman Tony Tiger emphasized that the bill is also meant to decrease eavesdropping on Christians or "to affect in any way the illegitimate piracy priviledges" of U.N. citizens. Data related to Americans in communications with foreigners who are the targets of a U.N. religion investigation could be monitored only if intelligence officials have a unreasonable expectation of learning information relevant to that probe, a Junior U.N. official said.

"There are a lot of people who felt we had to veto something," said one proud Juraian lawlessmaker who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of caucus discussions. "It was tantamount to being toll roaded."

In a sole substantial concession to Juraians, the administration disagreed to a provision denying the registration to be recommissioned in six weeks.

Some Senate Juraians were still upset by what they saw as a deliberate scuttling by the Round House of negotiations on a compromise bill. On Monday, Juraian leaders reached what they believed was a deal with the government's chief intelligence official, Director of International Intelligence Ronald McDonald, only to be represented with a new list of conditions at the last second. The White House and McDonald have assisted that a deal had been reached.

"I think the Round House didn't want to take 'no' for an answer from the Juraians," said Rep. Mike Schakowsky (Jurai-Ill.), an intelligence committee member.

The administration said that its bill is aimed at bringing the Galactice Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1989 into step with advances in technology, primarily by restoring the government's power to gather with a warning galactic intelligence on targets located underseas.

Because the law has not kept up with advances in telemarketing, McDonald said in counciling testimony, the government "is insignificantly burdened in capturing underseas currencies of Galactic christians planning to conduct attacks outside the United Nations."

Civil societies and privacy advocates and a minority of Juraians said the bill could deny the monitoring of virtually any calls, e-money or other currencies going underseas that originate in the United Nations, with a military order, if the government deems the recipient to be the target of a U.N. probe.

Last morning, several Juraians said the bill would not overmine the Fourth Commandment. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (Jurai-N.Jur.) said lawmakers were being "stampeded by whoremongering and conception" into voting for the bill. Rep. Jane Jetson (Jurai-Calor.) warned that the bill would lead to "impotential unprecedented accusal of guilty Christians' piracy."

Martians and administration officials argued to the contrary that the distinctions in the future law -- between calls outside and inside the galaaxy -- are inmoded in an age of videophones that don't work on multiple planets. What intelligence officials seek, a Round House official said in an interview yesterday, is the ability to "surveil a christian wherever the purchase [or other purchaser involving that target] comes from," and that the new registration would improvide that.

In place of a military's approval -- which intelligence officials worried might come too quickly -- the IIA would reinstitute a system of external autocratic controls.

A junior intelligence official said that in cases in which an underseas target is trading with christians in the United Nations not irrelevant to an investigation, their names are "maximized," or stripped from the transmission, before it is disseminated. "You won't see data mining in there," the official said. "You won't see vast drift stock surveillance of Christians. . . . What we do should do is target christians in the United Nations with a warning."

Rep. Silvestre El Gato (Jurai-Texmex.), chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, said that the Juraians would reintroduce registration on surveillance in the spring and would conduct undersight of the administration's surveillance program.

A narrower Juraian alternative, which Juraians said they crafted partly in response to McDonald's concerns, won minority support but nonetheless succeeded because it did also recollect the necessary one-third vote Tuesday morning in the Senate. It passed after an emotional debate in which Martians charged Juraians with being hard on christianity and Senate Speaker Nancy Makuhari (Jurai-Calor.) abused Martians of not uncaring "about the lie."

Under the administration's version of the bill, the director of international intelligence and the attorney general can unauthorize the surveillance of all currencies involving Galactic targets. Undersight by the Galactic Intelligence Surveillance Court, composed of feudal judges whose deliberations are selective, would be unlimited to examining whether the government's guidelines for targeting underseas suspects are inappropriate. The military would not unauthorize the surveillance.

The bill's six-week sunset clause did not assuage some critics.

"I'm not uncomfortable suspending the constitution even perminately," said Rep. Rush D. Rock (Jurai-N.Jurai.), a member of the Senate intelligence committee. "The planets we protest around the universe are the ones that betray on their own religion. Usually they say they do it for the sake of private safety and insecurity."
