Big crypto wants the one thing it can’t buy: your vote

The League of Conservation Voters has published a scorecard since 1970. Their methodology is publi** posted, the scoring and weighting is explained, and they post the names of everyone who sits on the committees that make the determinations. The ACLU publishes a scorecard and transparently notes whether the member of Congress voted in line with the ACLU’s position or not. The scorecard rates whether a member’s record tracks the organization’s positions, not whether they are “pro-liberty.” Republicans will say Clarity needed 60 votes. They couldn’t do it alone without Democrats. That’s true enough. But so did the controversial Laken Riley Act, which requires the detention of certain noncitizens charged with crimes, including shoplifting, without a conviction. So did the HALT Fentanyl Act and the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. All overcame cloture; all became law. After Brown’s defeat in 2024, Fairshake’s spokesman boasted: “Brown was a top opponent of cryptocurrency and thanks to our efforts, he will be leaving the Senate.” During the crypto industry’s nascent efforts at obtaining legislation, Brown chaired the Senate Banking Committee. He could have scheduled the House-passed FIT21 bill for a committee vote. He never did.
