DC2U interview with Rep. Peter Welch

Is it possible for something like a privacy bill to actually move forward? Well, I think it is, and I wouldn't have said that a year ago. And I think it'll be difficult, but it'll be difficult, not just on partisan reasons, because I actually think there's a real concern about privacy in both parties. It'll be hard because it's hard. Right. I mean, how do you do this in a way where the privacy rights of individuals are respected, but also in a context where what we want to be private varies depending on what the information is? (05:54–06:05)

CLAIM

Asserts that privacy concerns exist in both political parties, making legislation difficult but not solely due to partisanship.
