YOUTUBE (The Hill) - GOP senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul clash over ‘spy fridges’
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) got into a testy spat on the Senate floor when Cruz objected to Paul’s routine request for unanimous consent to transfer a few acres of federal land to a local Boys & Girls Club. While such small requests are often granted without objection on the Senate floor. But Cruz blocked Paul’s request, telling his colleague he’s not happy about a long list of non-controversial bills that the Kentucky senator has held up. One bill would require companies to provide more information to consumers about smart appliances that have cameras and microphones — or as Cruz characterized it, a bill to crack down on “spy fridges.” #Senate #Republican #Legislation #Consumers #Electronics #Surveillance
