If the courts were not infested with judges who think the Constitution is "a living, breathing document," i.e., there really is no Constitution, there would be no need for laws like this, since we already have the 5th Amendment.
Well that is what the GOP has wanted all along. The GOP see two paths back to the power they crave, economic disaster and terrorist attacks and they have devoted themselves to both ends. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Arkansas_GOP_head_We_need_more_0603.html Arkansas GOP head: We need more 'attacks on American soil' so people appreciate Bush Josh Catone Published: Sunday June 3, 2007 In his first interview as the chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, Dennis Milligan told a reporter that America needs to be attacked by terrorists so that people will appreciate the work that President Bush has done to protect the country. "At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]," Milligan said to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, "and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country."
Ahh a prime example of those who feed the fire for personal reasons. Thus continuing the cycle of fear and violence.
