As to the sunset provision, perhaps you should read the entire article.
I think that one sentence said a lot with very little.
The problem with that particular end date is that assumes that this problem will be over by then, which I have serious doubts that it will. I mean, habeus corpus was suspended supposedly until the end of the war on terror and that's been 7 years now. All that particular end date does is give congress opportunity to renew, which they would have to. I just don't see it ending. As Ronaldus Magnus said back in '64, the closest thing to eternal life we see on this planet is a government program.
