You've just voted yourself into being a defacto dictatorship.

I didn't get it all really. Did they pass it or are they still working on it?

It has passed both the House and the Senate now. I was thinking of going to university in the US for a year next year or so, but I'm not so sure if I want to when the US government can throw me in jail indefinately.

As long as you don't smell like the weed your country is known for, I don't think officials would have anything against you.

This is just getting ridiculous. It's a good thing that the US has a bill of rights to protect it's citizens and- WHOOPS! There goes Mr. Jelly. How could Congress even seriously consider this? *so much disillusionment*

You don't even need to be framed. According to that, the US president now has the power to throw you into solitary for any reason he likes, and doesn't actually have to give a reason for it.

I love the idea that the US Government is becomming what they feared all those years...a totalitarian state with the illusion of free choice for it's citizens.

I mean, at least the CCCP had the goddamned common curtocy to out-and-out say "DO AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO!"

People keep confusing the United States citizens with the United States government.

The only thing i'm guilty of is being pro-democrat and patiently waiting until 2008.

She admitted it! Throw her in the clink! We can't have people going around and being patient! If they do that they might actually think things through!
