The serious questions that were put to this bill only scratched the surface. Sensenbrenner was right to not support it because of issues that it failed to address.
Federal Republicanism is meant to be a rather slow process, and this reform bill was terribly rushed. Instead of being a product of well thought-out debate, it is rather a product of the ever-increasing impatience of American society. We want things done now, now, NOW. I find it disheartening that so many in both the House and Senate just blindly and immediately supported the 9/11 Commission's findings without really tackling this issue.
Ditto.
