Prohibition is much worse now than it was when it was just alcohol.

Clinton's justice department wanted "patriot" act style powers. We were smart enough then not to give them to him.

Nonsense. Clinton got his anti-terror package in 1995 after the Murrah bombing.

Moreover, the Patriot Act tears down the Gorelick Wall.

So you know not of what you speak about us being smart then versus now. You've got it precisely backwards.

Clinton's justice department wanted "patriot" act style powers.

And got them, in the Antiterrorism Act of '95. This was the basis for PATRIOT and has in it most of the things people complain about when they complain about PATRIOT. Although the acts are quite similar, it is easier for the MSM to go after Bush's act than Clinton's, and convenient to direct public suspicion to laws passed by Clinton but attributed to Bush.

As for prohibition, I have been unable to find the pseudoephedrine portions of the new bill that Dianne Fienstein allegedly put in. Do you (or anyone reading this) know where or if they are?
