@CNET I'm a @GOP supporter, and also a cyber security professional. Warrants should absolutely be required before any governmental agency or employee can access a US citizens browsing history. @NRSC should support legislation to provide this protection.

Last week, I wrote about the heartbreaking loss in the Senate, where we fell *one vote short* of stopping unwarranted spying on your internet browsing when 10 Democrats voted the wrong way and two didn't show up. The upside: We can still fix this bill! https://twitter.com/...
