Thing is, one can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.
Show cause, and believe me all of congress would sign up ... even the ACLU. But, keep it a "secret" (for national security - which the Limballers will believe, but the rest are still going to act like Missourians of old ... "show-me") and expect people to demand their rights back. It is the American way - we can be BS'ed, but god forbid the BS'er lied. 'Cause then? We will resort to being Americans - which is an independent buncha uncontrollable voters. Thing is, the Republicans got to feel happy that Nov2006 is so far away and the Democrats still don't have a clue.
Still, the end of the "Patriot (Nazi) Act is a good start.
