I support them, but, they are politicians, therefore, I do not give them blind trust. Criminals do not obey laws already on the books, so, I don't see where a new law will change that. Isn't that what makes them criminals?

Also, wasn't there laws on the books against hijacking airplanes and deliberately crashing into buildings and murdering people?? If those existing laws did not stop thoses evil b@stards, what makes you think the new law will.
I believe there are 20,000+ gun laws on the books. Have they stopped one shooting? Have laws against rape stopped one rape? How about burglary/theft?

I believe the new law will come back to haunt us big time.
I would like to see Mr. Ashcroft go after the clintons for their treachery in addition to protecting us from terrorists without passing new laws.

What really bothers me about the "p.a.t.r.i.o.t" law is that both houses passed it without reading it. It wasn't even printed according to Rep. Ron Paul. Does that bother anyone else? Also, I noticed a few minutes ago a posting which stated the Pres. Bush DID NOT read the new education law, but, he signed!! What's up with that?
As I said before, I wish them well, but, they are politicians.

I would also have liked to have seen the AG go after the Clintons, but remember the decision was NOT his alone.. The President had to decide what was more important, and I support His decision to let it go, rather than give Mr. Clinton FREE press. The time act was missed when our elected senators FAILED to convict him, a decision our nation will REGRET for years to come

I think it was more important to pass it quickly... I have FULL confidence in our President, and wish I could have said the same for our PREVIOUS POTUS, but I would be lying if I did...

FReegards,

Having worked as a Congressional staffer for about a year, I am sad to inform you that none of them read any of the laws that they pass. Sad, but true.
