even less incentive

to visit the US again any time soon, certainly not until the new congress repeals this vile law:

immigrants arrested in the US may be held indefinitely on suspicion of terrorism and may not challenge their imprisonment in civilian courts, the shrubwad administration argued yesterday.

that feeling of nausea isn't just a leftover from my illness.

Quite. The scary thing is that while the new Congress might vote to repeal this, I doubt they can muster 2/3 to override the Shrub's veto (there won't be that big Democratic majority).

I've gone from hoping I could persuade certain people to visit me here, to considering it risky that a British friend of mine is considering moving here. (Yes, she has an American partner.)
