CMV: No new anti-terrorism legislation is needed to respond to the January 6th events. The police and surveillance state is already expensive & well fundedenough

This was a failure of leadership and personnel, not the result of systemic limitations that prevented those agencies from guarding the Capitol. The agencies had all the tools and resources they needed to stop it, no new legislation is needed.


Past anti terror legislation in the united states and abroad has resulted in an erosion to our rights to privacy, free association, free expression, due process, a fair and speedy trial, freedom from racial & religious discrimination, etc. New anti-terrorism legislation will likely continue this trend.

It strikes me as poor risk-management to me then. If a pilot on a plane makes a mistake that leads to a disaster you don’t say “well the plane is safe enough it was just the pilot that messed up”, you add checklists and control measures to make sure a single point of failure cannot take out a whole operation. Wouldn’t legislative measures to require better risk-management after a thorough incident investigation be beneficial?
