    Why? Not like those blithering corrupt fools will use it properly.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      The Republicans will probably just wait till the Dems use it, make a huge public fuss and then abolish it.

          I think you need more votes to do that, and I don't think some republicans will want to get rid of it much the same way some Democrats didn't. If democrats wanted it gone when they had a chance, they would have.

          By the way, Ayotte did concede so that complicates things.
          For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
