What's Sue reading?
A survey released yesterday by the American Library Association found that the Justice Department has asked librarians for patron records nearly 300 times over the past few years. Which makes the vote that Sue took several days ago to allow government agencies to continue trolling through library and bookstore records particularly problematic.
So here's a challenge to Sue: we'll show you our reading list if you show us yours. Let's see how eager Sue is to share what she's checking out of the library and buying at the bookstore and (even more importantly) exactly why she thinks it's important for the government to know what voters in New York's 19th are reading.
