However marvelous it is that he has done some good work on the voting issue, meanwhile, he has allowed for a massive Surveillance Effort to flourish, while pretending that the Constitution does not exist.
So although it is good that more people can vote in this district or that, it is an abomination that we are all now consigned to a future of Stasi-like spying. If you are not familiar with "Stasi" then read up on the recent history of the East German people, where by the end of that nation, one fourth of all the people were employed on spying on the others, while the store shelves sat empty and the infra structure tumbled around their heads. This is where we are headed. The Massive Peace Dividend that should now be coming to the American people is instead being diverted to massive building of world's largest office complexes, all filled with computers and technicians for the purpose of spying on us supposedly "free citizens."
And he tramples the poor people he doesn't easily tolerate, be that poor white people, newly arrived immigrants or African Americans, by the enthusiastic stance on the Drug War he has taken. Notice that in the below police action, no warrants were required!
