Turn in your conservative membership card.

The first element of the rule of representative government is that the people have the right to actually know the laws that they must follow.

The second is that they have the right for representation in the making of those laws.

Both were violated here.

As you wish :) Seriously though, I'm all for the first step---getting the laws on the books. But let's have no illusions here: they will go on the books. Gillmore would prefer otherwise. He's basically playing the privacy equivalent of the "legalized marijuana and industrial hemp" game: everyone knows they just wanna smoke weed legally. Maybe that oughta be so, but let's just quit kidding ourselves about the motives, OK?
