Clinton was pretty fast on the draw using the IRS/INS BAFT to jam people or policies he didnt like. You think Gore would be different?

Re: You mean Gore wouldnt have called out the brownshirts?

I'm sure he would have to one degree or another. Just that he would not have been quite as heavy handed about it.

Under Gore, I expect the round up of aliens would have been smaller and more selective. I'm not niave enough to think it wouldn't have happened at all.

By the same token, some form of anti-terrorism bill was inevitable. Congress had to be seen as doing something and that meant passing a bill. But I don't think a version signed by Gore would have been quite as stupid.
