While I agree with the overall premise (these bills are outrageous), I would really like to see a post like this that WASN'T relentlessly reductionist on this topic.

Almost all of those laws are facing legal challenges that will probably overturn them or are built on legal logic that is, at best, a sand castle (the basic idea is that we're at war, but that doesn't hold up, because we're not, and the minute the Republicans pick on somebody who has the capacity to fight back, these laws will go up in smoke). None of them will survive the Bush administration in their current form. I'm all for supporting the ACLU, but it's worth keeping an eye on this sort of thing.
