Oh? Just wait and see... Now it just has to get past a Republican
point of order (it breaks the Budget Act) that requires 60%. Once
past that, it's home-free.
Even if he can't pass the Crime Bill (which I think is one of the most
frightening pieces of legislation in a long time: 2nd Amendment right
to violent revolution aside, it includes a measure which requires
anybody *accused* of a "sex crime" to be tested for HIV, at the
alleged victim's demand), think of it as a sort of "Pascal's Wager."
I'd far rather be wrong about this country getting dangerously
oppresive than be wrong about it being just fine, business as usual.
YM, of course, MV.
