1. La Controversia de la Cláusula de Demanda.
Una disposición incluida en un proyecto de ley de financiamiento gubernamental ha generado controversia al permitir que un grupo específico de senadores republicanos demanden al gobierno si sus registros telefónicos fueron accedidos sin notificación previa, en relación con la investigación del 6 de enero.
- The 8 republican senators who buried a special provision in the open the government bill to provide themselves, and only themselves, with the ability to sue the government for millions of dollars for having their meta phone records included in the investigation into the jan 6 insurrection?
- The government funding bill would allow the eight gop senatorswhose phone records were accessed as part of the investigation into trumps effort to steal the 2020 to sue the doj for at least 500,00 each. Your tax-dollars work.
2. Reacciones y Críticas a la Disposición.
La disposición ha provocado fuertes reacciones, con acusaciones de corrupción y abuso de poder, así como preocupaciones sobre el uso de fondos públicos para beneficio personal de los senadores.
- This is the corruption in our government. Shit like this. Last minute sneak it into the bill bs that allows republicans investigated over j6 to sue the govt. Just another republican grift.
- Seeing everything the democrats gave away with this clean bill to get the government back up and running is depressing. Retroactive to 2022, allowing senators to sue the us government, aka the taxpayer, for being investigated for wrongdoing at half a million dollars a charge. Fucking seriously?
3. Acciones para Revocar la Cláusula.
La Cámara de Representantes votó unánimemente para revocar la disposición, pero su futuro en el Senado es incierto, ya que algunos senadores republicanos defienden la medida como una protección contra la extralimitación del gobierno.
- Breaking the house voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for 500k if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for gop senators to sue over the jack smith investigation.
- House set to repeal funding bill provision to allow senators to sue government over phone records later today, were expecting a vote in the house that would repeal a provision tucked into the stopgap spending bill. That vote is currently scheduled for 815pm.
4. Implicaciones y Debate Político.
El debate sobre esta disposición ha exacerbado las tensiones políticas y ha generado interrogantes sobre la ética y la rendición de cuentas de los funcionarios electos, así como sobre el papel del gobierno en la investigación de posibles irregularidades.
- People should realize that senators who want this legislation passed want to 1. Take money out of the government to reimburse them for the pain and suffering of having their phone records seized 2. Avoid ever having accountability for any improper actions they might take in the future.
- For the government having the temerity to obtain phone records of senators credibly accused of being involved in the planning and execution of the january 6th insurrection. When gop legislators mutiny against their own country it nean you owe them money, you see?
