Christopher Shays is a nutjob

[The2ndWheel]

He just went off in the House about the Sanders amendment. "You people want to wait until the crime happens, and THEN investigate. I like this law, where we can see the crime BEFORE it happens!!!"

If nothing else, we get to watch, in real time, whatever it is that democracy may be, die.

1. Wasn't there a Movie about just this thing... They could see crime

happening in advance and would arrest people telling them they were going to comit a crime.... WTF?

5. I used to think Mr. Shays should join the Democrats

After seeing his rant, I don't want him anywhere NEAR my party. Fuck him.

6. Umm..ins't that in violation of the Constitution some how?

or perhaps the Writ of Habeus Corpus?

7. How can it be a crime "before it happens"?

There is such a thing I guess called Conspiracy to commit a crime and that is a crime in and of itself.
