With that, let me say the gentleman makes a point about bad guys, and this bill is targeted toward bad guys. Keep in mind that much of the activity covered by this amendment covers civil procedures. They are not coming for bad guys. They are using an awful lot of law and a lot of leniency under that law in civil proceedings, and many times the burden of proof is even on the taxpayer to prove they are innocent. This is an unbelievable tenet of opposition. Clearly if there is an exception, it should deal with the preponderance of the facts that the civil proceedings involved here are clearly outside of the view of what the main thrust of this bill deals with. You are concerned about criminals. We are talking about license in civil process. I think that goes too far, which lends to a rational for support for the amendment.
