Let me see: We've had laws against hijacking airplanes:We've had a law against bombing buildings: We've had a law against sending poisons thru the mail: Those laws were not obeyed by the terrorists!!! Question, why do we need a new law except to keep law abiding citizens in check because criminals do not obey any laws!!
There are 20,000+ gun laws on the books, have they stopped one shooting? There are laws against murder, have they stopped one murder? There are laws against rape, have they stopped one rape and on and on!
According to congressman Ron Paul, the law was not even set to print and yet it passed overwhelmingly in the senate and house. Does that bother anyone but me?
The GESTAPO Law will come back to haunt America's freedom.
I suggest to all, especially to those who have deified Pres Bush, watch what he is doing on the home front while we are diverted by the "police action". This man is a political genius who uses machavelian methods on us.
Flame away.

No flames here. It would be to our advantage to keep an especially sharp, vigilant eye out on ANYONE who makes this kind of move for heightened power... no matter they be conservative or liberal.

I'll see your flame-bait and raise you with this: in terms of rights delineated in the Constitution, Bush and his supporters could be among the greatest traitors the people of this country have known. And I say that in the same sense that most of us here on FR were quick to also label Clinton a traitor.

Let's be honest that much, at least.
