that is messed up. I think that is the worst problem facing american politics these days, agressive lobbyists who will do absolutely anything to get a bill passed, its sickening.

What you fail to understand is these legislators voted to ALLOW these lobyists to do just what they did. If they didn't want their personal information posted they should have passed the laws that would make doing so illegal.Fremen_Muhadib wrote:that is messed up.

I commend the lobbyists for what they did. They are slapping the faces of the stupid legislators who failed to fully consider the implications of how they voted.

The legislators are pissed off that someone just did to them what they've voted to allow others to do to their constituents. There is absolutely no law that I know of that says I can't look up the SS number of every American on SD.net (presuming I know their names) and post it to, say, Trollkingdom.

And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963
