Pierce remembers…
…the Clinton years.
"...the years of an overly punitive welfare-reform bill, the Defense Of Marriage Act, the several dozen new federal death penalty offenses, and those elements of the Patriot Act that had their birth during the Clinton administration, particularly in the 1996 Antiterrorism act."I'll toss in "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" for good measure.
It was that kind of stuff that led Paul Wellstone to coin his famous "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" line.
Damn, I miss Paul Wellstone.
