Yeesh. Sen. Joe Biden, unable to get any Senate committee to give a pass his RAVE Act <\/a>(which, among other things, allows the police to treat any dance gathering where it turns out drugs were sold as a great big criminal conspiracy by the organizers), is sneaking it into the National AMBER Alert Bill while it’s in Reconciliation Committee<\/a>. Which means that, if it makes it through, it will have been made law without any sort of public hearing.<\/p>\n

It’s a bad piece of legislation to begin with — passing it with these tactics would be reprehensible even if it were the swellest law ever to be proposed.<\/p>\n

The second link above has info on the legislators to contact.<\/p>\n
