So much for 以法治國 ???

Du Daobin ?  Stainless Steel Mouse, Liu Di ?
Dr Jiang Yanyong, the doctor who blew the whistle on China's initial cover-up of the SARS outbreak?
( detained for writing a letter in March denouncing the Chinese government's handling of the Tiananmen incident and calling for a review of the crackdown on student demonstrators in 1989....)

The above is the simple reason why legislature of rule 23 should never come before universal suffrage.

由共和黨發動的，你又耐這個共和黨何?

They just lost their majority in both Councils..  The voters have their say already.
And not all the States adopted the " Patriotic Act ".
