"Are there today Islamofascists willing to blow up our buildings? If "yes" then LESS CIVIL LIBERTIES FOR YOU!"
Passage of this bill is an admission that the so-called "terrorists" have won. You really need to stop drinking the Bush/Cheney campaign "we are more secure today" Kool Aid.
If the GOP establishment passes this bill, they will lose their majority within the next two elections. If Bush signs this bill, he loses November 2nd.
I don't know what country YOU come from, but, believe me, we Americans value our freedoms and will eventually punish those who try to take it away.
It's disconcerting when I find myself in the same camp as the ACLU and their ilk. Many on this forum will find this legislation perfectly acceptable, Constitution be damned.
