I'm confused...
I'm under the impression that Republicans are the ones people consider as wanting to abridge people's rights and that Democrats stand up for the privacy and rights of the people. Am I wrong about this? Leahy is a Democrat.
That's the image that Democrats have long tried to put forth; but it has always been false. When examined in detail, it becomes obvious that the “rights”*that Democrats want to protect, tend to be degrading, destructive things, such as sexual immorality, pornography, obscene language, abortion, drug abuse, and so on; while opposing genuine rights such as religious freedom, property rights, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to hold and express controversial opinions and beliefs, and such.
There should be no surprise in finding the Democrat stench all over this proposal; it's exactly consistent with their view on which “rights” are worthy of protection, and which are not.
