So bad. It gets worse every year

Whats your view on 4A, Chevron mixing with the total surveillance regime?

That may only be a fringe benefit. This likely won’t touch law enforcement and surveillance measures, as it’ll more impact sector-specific regulation and reliance on administrative discretion over congressional statutes

I could see some reigning in of FinCEN, however, which would be very beneficial for financial privacy
