As far as protection, the best and only real protection is eternal vigilence over what the government is doing. It killed TIPS, it will probably either curtain or kill TIA, and it killed the National ID card. You might not see those as positives. I do.

So why are you niggling about the Slimes, which can barely get the avergae Republican's name right, about some lines in a law as thick as a phone book when the substance of their argument - that the law invites abuse - is basically correct, especially in light of the government track record and the truthfulness of the people implementing the law?

Once again, I've read most of that law. Have you? You didn't answer my question the first time.

There were plenty of good editorials around the country that made a case against TIA and Poindexter without lying that the HSA authorized TIA and that TIA was a done deal with the passage of HSA. Once again, why do you find the truth so problematic?
