By Jeff Emanuel
Yep, you read that right. The bill, SR 440 (passed on Monday, 6/23), is reproduced in its entirety below the fold because it is simply too mind-bogglingly ridiculous to excerpt.

Posted at 7:29pm on Dec. 17, 2007 So I Really Think Highly Of Jon Kyl . . .
By Pejman Yousefzadeh
But he is dead wrong on the issue written about by John Fund. Legal education seminars are very valuable in that they allow judges to get exposed to differing points of view and help judges come up with better arguments to support existing points of view as well. Trying to shut down legal education seminars merely because the "ideology" promulgated at those seminars is not to the liking of certain Senators is entirely improper and places a chilling effect on the free dissemination of ideas and arguments. Sure, it's the kind of behavior that I would expect of Russ Feingold. But Jon Kyl ought to know better and I am disappointed that he doesn't appear to.

By RS Insider
This morning, the RS Insider saw Senator Feingold on CNN’s American Morning citing the US withdrawal from Somalia…
HOST: “[Your legislation] forces a redeployment of the troops because there's a date certain that the funding will be cut off. … ”
Sen. Feingold (D-WI): “It's just like Somalia. We had to get the troops out of there, it wasn't working out. We didn't take anything away from the troops”.
Also citing the US withdrawal from Somalia…
- OSAMA BIN LADEN: “After a few blows, [America] rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader… I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered...”
And…
- OSAMA BIN LADEN: “We believe that the defeat of America is possible … We experienced the Americans through our brothers who went into combat against them in Somalia, for example. We found they had no power worthy of mention. … America exited dragging its tails in failure, defeat, and ruin, caring for nothing. America left faster than anyone expected. … [America] gathered up its army, and withdrew in defeat, thanks be to God.”
The RS Insider recalls hearing something about what happens when people forget the past.
