Whatever what?

Your profile is filled with things like:

"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time. Thomas Jefferson"

And yet you are OK with the idea that Bush obviously made a deal with the Democrat Maria Cantwell to pass her bogus law that the Republicans blocked last fall when it wasn't snuck away inside the socalled "Violence Against Women Act"?

Apparently you will be fine when Match.com is required by law to demand that all members go through a background check.

So if a left wing professor feels threatened by conservatives on campus and takes out restraining orders on them...these innocent conservatives have to put down, under penalty of law, on any application to MEET SOMEBODY that they have had a restraining order?

This cuts directly to the heart of all of our privacy and has nothing to do with "mail order brides".

By the way, I just got off a long Internet phone conversation with the USA's largest marriage broker. They are pissed and they agree with me that lots of little agencies need to break this law flagrantly until it is struck down as soon as possible.

Men will have to fill out forms on the honor system and not have to supply the date of birth. They will just have to say they do not have a criminal record anywhere and they have not ever had any restraining orders. And the men can lie about this no problem. They told me that half of all divorced men get restraining orders automatically put on them as a procedural matter. So one assumes that men will be expected to simply lie.

The real problem is that it will take 2 to 3 weeks before the women can get back to the agency to say that they saw the bogus document that carries no real information except the guys full name.

It is the imposition of this bureaucratic 2-3 week waiting period...that is infuriating everyone most...beside the outrageous robbery of the liberty that your profile talks about so highly.
