I do not like that man Ted Cruz. I do not like his dated views.

“Would you like him in the snow?”

“To the tropics he would go.”

Always that ready excuse as their fallback. In this case they could fix it by simply exempting the sexual predator registry from this protection.

They could further exempt suspects in ongoing investigations, replacing the protection once the individual is cleared as a suspect. This latter would require a bit more writing, but it could be done.

Wyden should redraft and then present it again, if for no other reason than seeing what other excuses he comes up with.

Rights shouldn't be taken for simply being on the registry. Sorry no privacy for you because you peed in a public park when you were 20

Why is anyone listening to idiot Cruz? This is just one more GOP idiot.
