Want to see this headline again? "President wants Senate to hurry with new anti-terrorism laws"
Remember this?

"President Clinton urged Congress Tuesday to act swiftly in developing anti-terrorism legislation before its August recess.

"We need to keep this country together right now. We need to focus on this terrorism issue," Clinton said during a White House news conference.

But while the president pushed for quick legislation, Republican lawmakers hardened their stance against some of the proposed anti-terrorism measures.

Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, doubted that the Senate would rush to action before they recess this weekend. The Senate needs to study all the options, he said, and trying to get it done in the next three days would be tough."

If Republicans get back in power, you can bet that they will divert money and resources just so they search and search for something to impeach Obama with. Don't take my word for it, it's happened before.

1. Wasnt that an early version of the Patriot Act?
Few probably remember it was Clinton that first tried to push that piece of crap into law.
