Meet The Montana Lawmaker Who’s Been Called ‘The Face Of Online Privacy Rights In The U.S.’

A 26-year-old Montana state legislator is gaining nationwide attention as a defender of privacy after pushing for the passage of a historic cell phone warrant law that other states are now considering.

Rep. Daniel Zolnikov, a Republican representing the 47th House district of Montana, was profiled over the weekend by Mashable.com, which described him as “the face of online privacy rights in the U.S.

It all started with Montana House Bill 603, which passed in April and was signed into law by Gov. Steve Bullock on May 6. The law reads: “A government entity may not obtain the location information of an electronic device without a search warrant issued by a duly authorized court.”

Interestingly enough there is no "right to privacy" in the U.S. Constitution. Scholars argue that it is implied but there is no stated "Right to Privacy."

Why would any law, new or old, make any difference. Obama and his henchmen ignore and circumvent every law that disagrees with their agenda, knowing that no one will prosecute, because Holder is in their pocket and would stop any attempt at prosecution. The whole group of liberals are corrupt and foreign to the freedoms and liberties that once built this country. Individuals/politicians that commit treason against their citizens and the country, that they were elected to represent, should be put up against a wall and shot dead, each and every one that's found guilty!
