bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise
them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. | Related: | See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms

Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. |

Aug 16, 2009 6:26 PM - What recourse is there if the Attorney General has your name on the list but decides, that in the interest of "national security", refuses to release any information that would help you to remove your name from the list? Doesn't that go against the Constitution for you to face your accusers? -

The information used by the Attorney General will, in all likeliness, be obtained illegally via phone wiretapping, internet/email monitoring. This in-turn would prevent them from releasing any of their sources of information, thereby preventing anyone from challenging the findings. Answered by a visitor on Sep 8, 2009 6:41 PM -
The Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution states: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right ... to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; ...". No, this bill is not yet about imprisonment without trial, but it is about depriving citizens of their Second Amendment rights without a trial. I think that this bill is unconstitutional.
