I find it strange that Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) is silent about his co-sponsorship of Susan Collins' (R-ME) Thought Crime bill otherwise known as S. 1959, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism and Prevention Act of 2007. It's not that Norm isn't above shameless self-promotion. There is nothing on his Senate and his campaign sites about it. Strangely, Collins' senate and campaign sites have nothing on it either.
Maybe they think that it'll sneak through the Senate just like it snuck through the House. The House voted 404-6 for it without any debate.
Might it be that he and Collins don't want it to get out that our government is once again working to strangle our civil rights just a little bit more with a McCarthy-esque permanent committee and a Thought Crimes think tank?
