Does it really have an expiration clause? It's still dangerous for posterity, though, don't you think? If something like this passed once, who's to say the next in line won't pass something similar? It seems like they've set a pretty dangerous precedent.

Precedent? Who knows. The Court will eventually have to rule on it. One part of it has already been tested and found wanting. The supreme court has already ruled in a different case that U.S citizenship cannot be revoked without due process.

More than this legislation the abuse of the signing statement is actually more important and serious since it is an appropriation of legislative power.

On second thought, Canada may be the place for you, just one less wasted vote that better men than yourself have paid the ultimate price for

And how cliche of you to insult me for a view of mine (a sarcastic one none the less) instead of creating a valid rgument against it. And those better men you speak of, I'm sure that if they were to look at this new legislation they would be just as horrified as I am.

Read earlier in the post and you'll see that I(veteran) am against this and any of this type of legislation. as far as an attack, in this case it may be un-justified, and I apologise (sarcastic or not) however I do feel that running off to Canada, is an act of cowardice, that many before you have said and meant, and I will not back down on that stance....

I dont blame you, backing down most certainly is the worst way to accomplish any political goals. the canada quote was merely a reflection of the mess the united states is getting itself into

Can't we just give the whole country over to Canada? Their system seems to be oddly... representative.

rhunt....so if one person has an anecdote against the prevailing trend, can we dismiss the entire theory? try again to bang the drum for lemmings...

canuck..you a US or canadian citizen. I would assume it matters. and I'd love to hear more stories on "better" healthcare. as well all know, every system has pros and cons. hands down, I'll take american healthcare any day.
