Some links to information about the USA Bill currently under consideration in the Senate, as well as contact information for our Senators if you feel the spirit move you. |
Here is some more detailed information on the headline I wrote for the Newshour about the Senate anti-terrorism bill, including the text of the bill. Wouldn't it be nice if anytime a bill was referenced in a press release or article, the writer included the bill number? It took me two days to find this text.
Here is a link to the ACLU's critique of this bill:

I am skimming the text of SB.1510, and it seems like a number of sections start out "It is the sense of Congress that--" followed by a set of seemingly unenforcible principles.
Does anyone know what this tag line "It is the sense of Congress that--" means, and where it comes from? |
