The backstory is that the Judiciary Committee was run on the GOP side by @Douglas_ Collins , and he launched an investigation of big tech with Cicilline. In the middle of last session, Collins left the committee @Jim_Jordanand took over. Jordan was hostile and tried to sabotage it.
Why can't @Jim_Jordan just accept the report which calls for BREAKING UP BIG TECH?
Now Silicon Valley Dem@RepZoeLofgren is saying adopting the committee report is a "complete waste of time. " She has disagreements. What a shocker.
If @Jim_Jordan and @DarrellIssa had wanted to insert new language into the report it would have been easy for them to do it by raising it earlier. They are just springing new annoying language now because they know it will spoil the process.
Now @RepChipRoy quotes Thomas Jefferson, "I hope we shall take warning from the example and crush in it's birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government. "
The gist of the Republican position right now is “We believe big tech should be broken up. That’s why we are disagreeing with your report making the case for breaking up big tech.”
Before packing the Supreme Court try, you know, passing laws.
