No, you are just saying "oh, we're already in a bad place, so no need to stop it getting worse". This is a bad take.

.... You aren't addressing my problems. You are setting up a secret watchlist, that can't stay secret. It's a waste of time that accomplishes nothing. You can do what the US does, and psychiatrists are mandatory reporters. You can do what other countries do and make it so that they only report...

Hence this part of my statement: Which are awful, and should get gone, not be something we expand. And on top of this, it doesn't work as an analogy. You can't plead state secrets to protect how people get on the list, so the second it happens, it's gonna be revealed to everyone. My issue is...

No, this is the worst of all worlds. I don't want anything approaching secret police or secret laws. This won't stop with Pedos. And they aren't idiots: they'll figure it out pretty quickly once an arrest happens: you have to hand over evidence to the defense. It's not like they advertise it...

There's no line veto, so if it gets to his desk, he either signs the whole bill with that, or he vetoes the entire thing. What likely happens is it gets sent back to the house, is redone to remove that, then sent back to the senate.
