We measure congressional success by how many laws they pass. Does that not frighten you just a bit?
Is there historical precedent of that in this country?

When you say 'we', I hear 'they', as I do not believe that either of us use that particular measuring stick.
Still frightening. Many here have advocated taking other freedoms in order to protect their own. You are not one of those people, so I more easily accept the slippery slope argument coming form you. I may not entirely agree, but at least you are not being disingenuous.
