01/27/2005: More on Sudafed sales restrictions
Here are some updates on the Senate bill restricting sales of the decongestant pseudoephedrine, which I blogged about yesterday.
Senator Evan Bayh (D-Illinois) is one of the bill's co-sponsors. "Your ordinary, law-abiding citizen isn't going to object," said Senator Bayh. I guess we know what that makes me. Bayh now has the honor of being added my list of "Democrats I won't vote for in the 2008 presidential primary."
Jacob Sullum points out the futility of clamping down on psuedoephedrine. There are several different substances that can be used as a precursor to methamphetamine, and in the past when access to one has been restricted, manufacturers have moved to another.
UPDATE: Add Tom Harkin (D) and Charles Grassley (R) of Iowa to the list of sponsors of this rubbish.

Now Bayh was so well thought out and heartfelt spoken about opposing Condi's nom. --how could he be so "dense" on something like this?
