Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton announced Monday that she will deliver a series of policy-oriented speeches on the topics of transparency and national security and their impact on America's leadership abroad in the "next few months."
Speaking at the American Bar Association's annual meeting in San Francisco, the potential 2016 presidential candidate kicked off the effort on the subject of voting rights, blasting state efforts such as that of Texas, Florida and North Carolina to restrict voting through stringent voter ID laws that passed "often under the cover of addressing the phantom epidemic of 'voter fraud.'"
"Throughout our history we have found too many ways to exclude people from their ownership of the law," Clinton said, delivering a plea to repair the crippled Voting Rights Act.
Clinton's next speech is due to take place in Philadelphia next month, she said.

I don't agree with your characterization of the vote nor any real advantage in light of her Iraq war vote and hawkish stand on Iran and Syria.

(62,277 posts)So I don't know where we disagree, particularly.
I already said it's going to suck if Hillary uses her FISA vote to convince progressives she's against NSA shit.
