Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R) from Wisconsin would like to lock you up if you learn of "drug activity" "near" minors and fail to report it to authorities within 24 hours. That'll be a minimum of 3 years and $10,000 please. And that's even if you're a parent...which is good, because obviously you must be a bad parent, and the State will do a much better job raising your kids while you're in jail. Link here.
Hey hey hey, it's that crazy Sensenbrenner again. This time he'd like to do away with FCC regulatory fines...with straight jail time. Janet Jackson's boob? Jail time. Howard Stern? Jail Time. T.O. and that blond lady from Desparate Housewives? Jail Time. He promises this will in no way have a chilling effect on free speech. SUURREE. Link here.
Congress has released the text of the second Patriot Act. Patriot Act II - The Empire Strikes Back. I haven't had much time to review it, but the EFF has some good writeups about it. Link here.
