To be completely honest... I'm in full support of these libs pushing the bills. Their drastic over-reach will accomplish two things:

1) It will allow for a bigger smack down in the court system, and decrease the chance of the whole bill not passing (keeping the other provisions from passing as well).

2) It might be just enough of a push for the "on-the-fence" voters to see that party wanting to do things like violate the 2nd and 4th Amendments, and voting them out of office next term.

The 4th Amendment violations are the biggest advantages we have, because many libs associate violation of the 4th with the Patriot Act. I have a suspicion that, while not all, a lot of libs will be voted out of office next cycle.

The more aggressive these bills are, the greater chance NONE of the provisions will pass. And even IF they do, citing NY as an example, it will put the citizens in a mode of unrest that will bring so much attention to the policy that it might help open Americans' eyes at how willing their "trustful" appointees are to stepping on our toes.
