Arkansas' Golden Boy of republican politics.

An excerpt from the Federal Register:
SOURCE: CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, (1999CRH4858A CIVIL ASSET
FORFEITURE REFORM ACT, 25 Jun 1999)

"This proposal, H.R. 1658 reforms it. It does not do away with it.
If, however, somebody likes civil asset forfeiture reform, then they
will love the Hutchinson amendment, because the Hutchinson
amendment, in addition to not truly reforming civil asset forfeiture
at its core, vastly, vastly, Mr. Chairman, expands the scope of civil
asset forfeiture powers of this government.

Let me repeat that. The Hutchinson amendment vastly expands
the scope, the jurisdiction, the reach of the Federal Government's
current civil asset forfeiture power. The power, the scope currently
that the Federal Government enjoys is already extensive. We are
not arguing that today. It is extensive. It reaches many different
provisions of title 18, which is the Criminal Code.

If, however, one makes even a cursory reading, Mr. Chairman, of
the Hutchinson amendment, they will see very readily that it
expands exponentially, as the Chairman said previously in his
remarks, the scope, the power, the jurisdiction of the Federal
Government to civilly seize and forfeit assets."

I pray Asa Hutchinson does not win the next election.

Yup, like I keep saying, it don't matter what political party they come from, they are all enemies of liberty. Just wanting the job should be an automatic disqualification!

The Bill of Rights, and the Golden Rule are enough for civilized behavior. The rest is window dressing. Shoot carefully, swifter...
