Notice all the scare stories from the special interests who know that even if the no-match letters are ever issued, they won't do much as was revealed shortly after Chertoff proclaimed this alleged "crackdown."

BTW Charles Breyer is from San Francisco, was appointed by Clinton, and is the brother of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
