In what was once America, all were equal under the
law (no more), and the Law was what was written (no more),
and the Law was immutable once passed (no more),
and bills started in the House (no more).
America is cursed by traitor Ryan, backstabber Romney,
slaver McCain, and delirious drooler McConnell
who represent the GOP, the nightmare
which gave America ObamaCARE,
ObamaTRADE, Iran NUKES, and the new slavery,
and then claimed they did not.
In Collins’ estimation it is far better to abrogate the protections of the Constitution without charge, indictment or proof beforehand than it is to simply arrest a suspected terrorist you ostensibly don’t want flying on an airplane.
This isn’t about terrorists. If it were, we’d be picking up these ‘suspects’ and giving them a rectal exam. It is solely about one more step in taking the guns and rights the US Constitution has affirmed on our behalf.
Obama has proven that he will harass his political enemies by using the IRS to deny charitable tax exempt status.
This new tool will disarm potential political opponents, including large groups such as veterans, NRA members, and other persons likely to oppose progressives.

Rather than fix the true problem Congress will present a solution to a non-problem. Sounds about right...
No guns for terrorists sounds good until they start making out conservatives to be terrorists.
The “no-fly” list and its use as a tool against us turns jurisprudence around. Americans are suppose to be innocent until proven guilty, but this forces us to prove we are innocent instead of the government proving we are guilty. It must be stopped.
My attorney told me the cost for a client to go to federal court is about $50,000 ln attorney fees and other expenses. If true very few average citizens have that kind of money to advance to an attorney in order to appeal a bureaucratic decision. Plus, given the hundreds of anti gun federal judges appointed by Obama, what are the odds a leftist judge will rule in favor of a citizen, much less order the government to pay attorney fees?
We have reached the point where the legal system is not affordable for most average citizens. The legislative and executive branches of government have given up the fight for liberty and are now enablers of oppression. Access to the judiciary is unaffordable and even when the citizen attempts an appeal, the government can drag out the process for years. Even a successful appeal is not justice if it takes three or for years to be realized. During the appeal process the citizen has been denied freedom without due process. That time can never be recovered.
Susan Collins and the other “moderate” Republican Senators know they are eviscerating due process. They are statists, not friends of Liberty.

After these past two Attorney Generals, no way in hell would I give and AG this kind of power.
How about we do a background check on anyone who wants to enter the country?
Whole lot of oxygen being wasted on a law that can be bypassed by using fake credentials or a straw purchase. This is rediculous and misses the point entirely. What should be the issue is, if I am an American citizen, and I am on a list that denies me the right to travel or purchase a firearm I should get notified and have the ability to appeal being placed on the list. I feel like this is bizaro world we are living in now. How is this nonsense even possible????
This is a nightmare. And blatantly unconstitutional.
If that person can’t fly, can’t buy a gun, WHAT IS HE DOOING LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ME? (Tucker Carlson)
It is now to be used as a proxy for a Court of Law, a way to flag anyone as a potential enemy of the State without any Constitutional concerns or protections.
Innocent Americans who do not travel by air or purchase a firearm could go through their entire lives not knowing they are considered potential terrorists by the government of the United States.
Ignorance is not bliss.
This is just another political weapon for demonrats. Republicans won’t and can’t use it because the bureaucrats would not cooperate.
I have every confidence that the government will quickly exploit this law to add all NRA members, tea party members, Freepers, etc to this list with maximum speed as soon as the law is passed. The DHS has many times told us they think the real danger is right wing people who believe in the constitution and do not like our oppressive government.
This list will quickly balloon to include 10s of millions of us who have nothing to do with terrorism.
As House Republicans Move To End Sit-In Over Gun Control, Democrats Reportedly Chow Down On Some Chick-fil-A

Cut off the AC, showers, change of clothes, RR is a bucket in the corner, security details, do not feed them and no pay checks. Let them stew in their own BO.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Returning to a dark chapter in the nation's history, the Senate released thousands of pages of transcripts Monday from closed-door, anti-communist hearings of Sen. Joseph McCarthy.
The hearings reveal a new side to McCarthy's 1953-1954 crusade, conducted at the peak of the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
Some of the hearings were public and some televised, but 395 Americans were interrogated in secret hearings, facing accusations from McCarthy and his staff about their alleged involvement in communist activities.
"Today, by providing broad public access to the transcripts of this era, we hope that the excesses of McCarthyism will serve as a cautionary tale for future generations," Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said at a news conference.
"And by making these transcripts [available] -- not just to scholars who go to the archives, but to everyone who wishes to see them -- we hope to further educate the young people of today about this very unfortunate chapter in American history."
Collins is chairwoman of the Governmental Affairs Committee. McCarthy chaired that committee's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to pursue his anti-communist crusade, which was later widely discredited as a witch hunt.
