This shows how bad the anti-government hysteria has gotten... people on the left and right are both arguing against a common sense law.
This is true. Far too often we demand a new law in response to some perceived miscarriage of justice and we get yet another perversion of justice, only institutionalized with the force of law. I think there may be some net value to the concept, but we need to proceed very cautiously lest we get the cost and loss of freedom without much actual benefit in return.With all due respect, the hysteria I see is from those crying for this law. "OMG, the sky is falling, Casey Anthony got off! The government should do SOMETHING!"
Any new law needs to proceed slowly, with lots of analysis, but doubly so for a new law driven by emotion.
