This summer I said a number of times that I thought legislation was likely due to the increased pressure by Frist and the Republican majority in both the House and Senate. Most everyone poo poo ed that possibility and I was even accused of fear mongering. I think because of the prevailing attitude of “They will never pass the law” most people didnt do anything. I wish I had been wrong.
Hats off to the Germans for taking a proactive stance before their rights are further eroded.
