That would certainly cut down on the volume of posts for both the KOSSAKS and DUmpsters...

But how many people really believe that this would ever be enforced against leftist bloggers... 70 year old pro-life grandmothers would wind up in jail though...

"up to two years in prison for those whose electronic speech is meant to 'coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress.'"

The Huffington post is toast. (/s)

Won't this outlaw MoveOn and ACORN activist alerts? All we have to do is sign up for their e-mails, and be "emotionally distressed " by the unexpected hate mail they send us, right?

Another instance of our government creating laws that address symptoms of problem, not the problem.

How do so many stupid f***tards manage to get elected? And if calling our elected officials stupid f***tards is bad, that so many get elected says something even worse about us.

Gee, this comes a shock. I never thought the tolerant ones would do something like this.
