I feel that this should be the biggest issue in US national news. And although I do not consume much main stream news I have only ever seen blogs and small circulation articles on the issue. Like how can any one on either aide of the political divide be ok with shit?
Because Trump supporters will say, "I don't do anything wrong so it doesn't matter, it'll only catch libruls"
And Trump administration people will say, "Well they won't use it on me ever and we can use it to inflict maximum suffering on our enemies"
Most Democrats will and have said the same thing.
Oddly... Trump admin people know better than that... but I'm not expecting them to actually do anything differently than what you suggest. Probably both are already captured by whatever data has already been found on them.
