this is baaaad!!!!

The Israeli lobby has launched an all-out drive to ensure congressional passage of a bill, approved by the House and now before a Senate committee that would set up a federal tribunal to investigate and monitor criticism of Israel on American college campuses.

Approved by the House?! Umm yes, they really are our elected officials and have our best interests in mind dont they ?

oh, and this part...amazing

Americans will not be able to find out how their representatives voted on the bill. Hoekstra asked for a suspension of the House rules, which was approved, making it possible for the controversial measure to be passed with an unrecorded “voice vote.” There is no record of how individual House members voted or if they even voted at all.

JoseyWales,

They have been talking about this for some time now. I will say this is one of the most sick thing the GOPers have been trying to do.

That would be an obvious violation of the First Amendment, though it's not like Congress cares about the Constitution. Still, as odious as the mere idea of such legislation is, I can possibly see its passage backfiring on ZOG.

The neocons are showing their Trotskist colors. In the future students who are not suffiently pro-Israel will be denied student loans.
