While we're hunkering down and peering out from under the bed, anticipating terrorist acts from abroad, Bush is insisting that the Senate vote immediately on the Homeland Security Act. This is a 484 page law that the Senate got about forty-eight hours ago. The Senate is being asked to vote on it--NOW--before any of it has gone before committee or any of the Senators have had a chance to read it. Bush is also insisting that it be passed without amendments. And John M. Poindexter of Iran-Contra fame is being put in charge. Nice!!
