This is apparently what some in congress want, at least according to the ACLU.
I started seeing this in my google+ stream today and I keep coming here to see if its gotten any notice, and my admittedly weak search-fu hasn't found anything. I'm not much of a diary writer, I prefer to comment and mostly lurk, but I was bothered by the lack of anything on this here.
The implications are disturbing, and I think the ACLU is wrong as to "why now." You only need to look at what's going on around the country to see exactly why its coming up now.
Its not without precedent, either.
What are the real chances of this actually passing and does it require the president's signature?
