Hell bent on a police state

Rep. James Non-Sensenbrenner, C-Wisc. (C is for crazy...actually he's an R), is threatening to block the six-month extension of the Patriot Act that the Senate passed yesterday.

Key House Republican balks at Patriot Act

Keep in mind that this is the same Rep. Non-Sense who nearly held up the intelligence reform bill last year if the REAL (National) ID Act wasn't a part of it. His fellow Rs talked him down off the water tower on that one by promising to take up REAL ID after the 2004 holiday season, which they did and passed....tacked on to a funding bill for the troops overseas and tsunami victims, that is. (There oughta be a damn law.)

There's no telling what he wants in exchange this time. An apartheid wall at the Mexican border, perhaps?
