For being a part of this political stunt and using the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement to score political points. It just made me sick.

I guess I'm more dismayed that it's being done in order to further erode due process ... seems like it's possibly the right fight but definitely for the wrong reasons, which as far as I'm concerned invalidates the whole thing.

... also, it's "a part", two words ... :D

I don't think it's the right fight. Restricting the rights of people on the Watch List would not have stopped any attack. Besides there is a simple compromise that both sides will likely make. It's definitely not a reason to dust off the Civil Rights anthem.

The watch list portion is the wrong part of it ... well, the most wrong part of it. That's the due process part I mentioned. I understand why the other part stood out to you more than it did to me, what with me being a devil white man and all.
