Reply #39: The Rockefeller bill was the wise strategy

[creeksneakers2]

I was angry at the ACLU for not endorsing it. In fact,they spread disinformation about it,saying among other things that no fix was required at all.

It looks now like a few GOP votes would have been needed to pass the Rockefeller bill. It would have been a long fight getting them, but not an impossible one. But it turns out that what the ACLU did didn't cause the Rockefeller bill to fail, so I'm no longer angry with them. It sounds like it wasn't the fault of the ACLU that there wasn't better coordination on defeating Bush's plan. I'd still like to know more about how the GOP bill got to the floor of both houses.

Nothing can be changed now until a majority of Democrats will vow that liberty is more important than safety. Otherwise, they'll get rolled the same way again.
