Why are we complaining about a dinky little card and not other, more serious things, like the Patriot Act. It's amazing how the American people are willing to ignore anything that the government tells us to.

Well that measure passed since it was part of that Iraq Spending Plan.

 

However, states might challenge and even disobey it. The governers will try to challenge such a thing's constitutionalality. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../w155857D84.DTL

I honestly don't know if Arnold will challenge this

 

I know he wants to reform immigration, and education

 

but, you never know :lol:

This could easily be used in cooperation with the Patriot Act to tighten the noose around our freedoms. Notice how I said could and not will. All this consolidation under the the Federal government should be challenged. But isn't it rather odd that such a thing was tacked on to a bill that would definitely pass? I find it quite fishy.

What bill was it tacked on to? And can you just pin thngs to bills even if they aren't directly related?

It was part of this bill. More commonly it is called the $82 billion Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill. And yes, you'd be suprised at how people try to tack on special statutes onto every bill that goes through Congress.

and how the flock can they pass it without even discussing it?

Because it would be political suicide to not pass the bill it was attached to so they didn't really care.

So much fingering going on in this thread that I feel like I'm surrounded by bitchy feminists.

As usual, you have nothing of value to say. Why don't you just stick to spam and other useless topics where you belong, okay?

You think they can't hack into wherever you put your information now? I would hope they'd protect their systems more after a failure like that, too.
