Reply #36: A recent adventure of the sponsor of HR1316, Mike Pence (R-Ind)

Just to give you an idea of the his caliber. He's the one who, during the 2 hour Patriot Act hearing abruptly and unilaterally terminated by Sensenbrenner, had this to say about Amnesty International:

Democrats charged that the episode was another example of Republicans abusing their control of Congress and trying to stifle dissent over Bush's approach to counterterrorism. During the two-hour hearing, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) accused Amnesty International of endangering U.S. soldiers because a top official of the group had called the prison at Guantanamo Bay a "gulag."

Obviously a sterling character who wants the best for the country and cares for all the lesser mortals who are not major campaign contributors. :sarcasm:
