September 18, Chandler, Arizona- In a statement today, Libertarian Senate Candidate Marc J. Victor criticized Representative Jeff Flake, for his yes vote on H.R. 5949 the FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of 2012.
Said Mr. Victor, “The reauthorization of these amendments permits the government to spy on countless Americans, without a warrant, until 2017. FISA authorizes the warrantless search and surveillance of emails, internet activity, and phone communications of millions of Americans without any judicial oversight. The potential for abuse is staggering. We have come a long way from what the founders of our nation likely envisioned with the inclusion of the 4th Amendment to our Federal Constitution.” Victor continued, “Institutions like CATO have demonstrated that the language is vague, open to wide interpretation and wide scale abuse. The government has admitted that abuse has already occurred.”

I used to admre Jeff Flake. He understands the corrupt side of taxation very well. He promised to limit his term in office and then changed his mind. Even when Reason magazine softballed him an opportunity to justify his change of mind, he blew it. It appears that Jeff Flake might be getting corrupted by political power.
