When will they ever stop? The moment we (=the people) have fought one surveillance law, they (=politicians) simply come up with another. Until we are too tired to fight anymore...

That’s their _politicians_ strategy. It’s a time worn political stratagem. Keep pushing the same bill through with a different name, different sponsors, and at a time few are paying attention.

You have to win every time, they only need to win once.

There has to be some sort of punishment for them to stop. Otherwise they'll just repeat it. If they find themselves consistently primaried or voted out for supporting bills they'll get the message.

There's no voting this wacko out. The lady who keeps shoving these bills out (or onto other bills) is an unelected senator that is there til she's 75 or does some gross misconduct or something.

I think blame may lie more on lobbyists than politicians. Though the fact that politicians haven't fixed the problems with lobbying doesn't look so good either.
