Seriously. The Republicans are introducing this as an actual bill. Sargent:
The political game plan, obviously, is to tie Obama’s closure of Guantanamo to the idea that its detainees could come to a community near you, in order to sow fears more broadly about Obama’s foreign and anti-terror policies. It’s also designed to pressure Congressional Dems, particularly in red states, to distance themselves from Obama’s policies or risk being painted weak on terror.
But looking at the details, I don’t see anything about pedophiles. Why don’t the Republicans want to keep pedophiles out of America, too? Why are they carving out legal protections for pervs?
