Quote	"Congress can ensure that this works by writing tough accountability provisions into the bill, approving the ID cards, and following through with sustained oversight. Critics of the bill talk as if Congress is powerless. They're running from the ghost their predecessors created in 1986. There's no reason they can't write a bill that won't haunt their successors 20 years from now. "
