Yup... it is funny because it is typical politico type talk. Create a weird and almost impossible to see link between "what you want to get rid of" and "save the <fill in blank here, like children, whales, freedom fighters, UN weapons inspectors>". It is the type of double talk that makes people say "yeah, we want to save the children! Fuck those porn people... save the children! Holy shit! Who could not want to save the children?". It is done in a way to make you forget that they are attempting to take away rights and freedoms on the other side.

Quite a move.

Yep yep. The only bright spot here is that the judicial branch generally is more immune to this kind of verbal slight-of-hand than our dumbass legislators (or the public in general) are.
