It would have to overcome a Republican filibuster and a Bush veto and then get 2/3rds of Congress to override.

It sounds scary, but it's not going to happen in the next two years for sure.

Thanks for posting.

Excellent reporting. Too bad they had to use America's premier media whoring outfit, USNewswire.

And, so far, what have we heard from our GOP Big Tent Warrior leadership in Washington?

Nothing.

You mean we won't be able to denounce liberals for the traitorous, cowardly, corrupt, ignorant, lazy, bureaucracy-loving, worthless b$stards that they are? Well, sh$t!

Careful. That's what many said about McCain-Feingold too.

Hinchey is a worthless little loudmouth creep full of conspiracy fantasies. O'Reilly and Hannity play him like a cheap fiddle whenever he shows up. Somebody just needs to wad him up and throw him away.

Anyway, not even Nazi Pelosi is going to bite on this one, IMHO.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I do believe that such a move would be looked back upon years in the future as the beginning of the second civil war in this country. I don't think this is going to happen, but it's ironic that the crowd that constantly points fingers at others for being fascists wants to trash freedom of speech. These people are scary. They are no less zealots than the Bin Laden crowd. Seriously.

Point well taken, but I think I recall it being a given that it would pass, as a token to McCain.

Then we all expected Bush to veto it, but he signed it expecting the Supreme Court to take the heat for striking down parts of it.

Hopefully we've all learned our lessons.

If they get the Presidency in 2 years it will happen by executive order.

Nor will you here anything from those worthless bastards. I'm afraid that we're on our own guys.

They already are. Pelosi wants all "grassroots" organizations that communicate with 500 or more people to register with the Congress, file financials quaterly, and to report separately on each and every issue they advocate. Unions, corporations, etc, exempted, of course.

That was my thought exactly! No way would Conservatves stand for this. Can you say "Fire Storm," boys and girls!
