Comment on Senators demand ICE cease use of facial recognition app

What do they think it means for Senators to demand something? If they want to have a chance of making it happen, they have to do their job and pass a law, and even then it’s just a hope. They should know by now that sternly worded letters are useless.

Seriously an HOA Karen has more power than a US senator now.

Congress can’t really pass laws, because the system inherently favors obstructionism.

They’re asking for information about this in this letter, so it’s not just a stop doing it.

Maybe they know they can’t do anything. But these little acts will be part of their defense when we get to our version of the Nuremberg trials… or the guillotines.

The uselessness of the sternly worded letters is the point.

Senators cannot pass a law on their own…

Well it would help if voters and more importantly non voters did their job. Til then online bitching is useless.
