Here is the articlink in question:

I suppose the first real question that comes to my mind here is: do any 'lithers know of a source for a complete list of all the currently tabled legislation, cases, new Acts and such threatening to turn America into a nasty totalitarian state? It seems like I come across frightening developments every time I look (mind you I spend a fair spot of time on disinfo.com), but I'm not aware of any collected list of these "stunners". Anyone? Thoughts?

This might be more of a Switchboard topic. This sort of question is a staple with many of the topics over there, from anti-encryption legistlation to ID cards and the Patriot Act's expansion of surveillance powers.

Move proposed - one of the Switchbods will almost certainly be able to sort you out.

Hmm. It's hard to think of a general source for everything... in terms of civil liberties, you might want to look at something like the ACLU's page.

Most sites have their own specialties; for instance, cryptome.org concentrates on surveillance and privacy issues, and Black Box Voting on dubious election machinery. It's easier to get a reasonably complete handle on developments surrounding one particular issue.

Kinda depressing when the field is big enough that you have to specialize.

A rather extensive list of "failures" by the Bush admin - "Click here for the latest version (Note: This is a large file; please be patient.)"

I haven't had a chance to look at it properly, but just the list of areas on the left I find horribly depressing...
