How about years ago?
The bill has been around for quite a while. It takes time to get things through the process. One does not simply write a bill and get it to the floor for a vote. It was not something that they just came up with at the end. It is up there now and should be considered by all of our reps.
The election is over, folks. If you are one who thought you were teaching someone a lesson, be happy. If you are one who doesn't believe there is a real terrorist threat at all, I hope you are right. I would be very happy to be proven wrong in my beliefs.
