But the sheer extent of inaction in today's Congress is worth noting. When the 112th Congress came to a close last year, it was deemed the least productive on record, having passed just 561 out of the 6,845 bills introduced, well below the running average of 758 bills passed each session. The 113th Congress is well on its way to beating that record as only 15 bills have passed in the first six months of session; the 112th had signed 23 in that time.

The Espionage Act was created as a compromise between the US, with its relatively tolerant opinion on freedom of speech, and Great Britain, which had passed a massive ban on speech pertaining to national secrets a few years earlier. In short, the act made it a crime for a person to send information that would compromise the country’s war effort or aid its enemies.
