Alex, you said 'extreme left', is that what you meant?
I saw that bill as an attempt by the rural states to bully the urban states.
The us senate and electoral college overrepresents the rural states, giving them far more power to control lawmaking than their populations would ordinarily warrant.
This is a tactical advantage that the neocon movement has ruthlessly exploited, literally taking over the republican party, and fucking the traditional conservative republicans (like my father) up the ass by spending more money than ever before.
It's an attempt to bankrupt the federal government. They have explicitly stated that this is their intent - it's just that the average american can't read anymnore, so they don't know this stuff, they think this is all being done to protect them from the big bad terrorists.

But, to get back to the original topic, this latest bill is just a shot across the bows. Worse is coming.
