During the John Adams (Federalist) administration, Congress approved and President Adams signed into law the Alien & Sedition Act. Among other things, the Act basically made it illegal to criticize the government. People who dared to do so were thrown in jail, a transgression against our cherished value of free speech and the right to hold government and elected leaders accountable. As a result, the already embattled Federalist coalition was fractured, setting the stage for Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans to come to power. Our latter day "Bush" Republicans, having nothing to do with "Jeffersonian" Republicans (in fact, a different party entirely) have a Federalist-like coalition stranglehold on our government and are eroding civil liberties in the name of centralized power in a similar way. My question is, what do you think will be Bush's "Alien & Sedition" blunder, and is it possible that it could be right-to-choice being made illegal?

With so much emphasis on "bias" in journalism these days, I thought it would be useful to use Chris Matthews as an opportunity to give the news media a homework assignment.
