I'll see your right to be denied firearms on mere suspicion and raise you our Detention without trial and without having committed any offence if the government assesses you as a risk to others (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6374547.stm). Although the Lords are giving it a rough ride in Parliament, the government has power to override all of the amendments if it really wants the power to shut dissidents up.

Now the wingers (well, at least some of them) get concerned about the idea that a "suspected terraist" can be anyone the President or AG say is one. It's about time.

BTW, the bill is S. 1237 , for anyone who might want to go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ and look it up.
