Thought Crimes 1
Slipped under the door:
From ASZ:
What is so frightening about this bill is that it was sponsored by Democrats, and pushed through with essentially no discussion. I read the news for hours every day, and just learned of it last week. There has been incredibly thorough analysis on blogs, but the major news outlets have been silent. This bill suspends the first amendment, and only three Democrats, including Dennis Kucinich, and three Republicans voted against it.
You can read the text of the bill here.
On the face of it, it seems that somegirl may be over-reacting, but the issue deserves more discussion than it has received.
