FYI ron wyden also voted to pass anti BDS laws to criminalize protest and boycotting of Israel.

He also was one of the original signers of the patriot act and then acted surprised when it was used to spy on american citizens so was one of ten congressman that voted against its renewal. Feels like someone who likes to play the image of a man of the people but only does it when he knows his voice will be ignored.

But alas, he's 'one of the only people in power fighting for privacy rights' which is just sad
