Things are too fluid to be creating restrictive laws. We talk about scalable servers and scalable sites. That's what should be going on in the legislative process rather than these omnibus, let's-do-it-all-in-one-fell-swoop pieces of legislation.

In one fell swoop they could make a pretty big dent.
Harry Schuhmacher
That prospect is deeply troubling, because infectious illness is a genie that can be very hard to put back into its bottle. It may kill fewer people in one fell swoop than a raging flood or an extended drought, but once it takes root in a community, it often defies eradication and can invade other areas.
Paul Epstein
With this action, in one fell swoop, the president deprived himself and his supporters of the easiest argument for his next nominee: that surely a reelected conservative president is entitled to replace a conservative justice — Rehnquist — with another conservative.
Bill Kristol
It makes sense for Venezuela to repay some debt. With the fiscal reserves amassed in the last three years, it could repay nearly all of its international debt in one swoop.
Morgan Harting
Little Charlie was delivered by a C-section and not expected to live. I'm a widow with no children . . . I'm just a small time (cat) shower . . . This is like losing three children in one fell swoop.
Iris Tanner
This whole process of offenders in nursing homes happened under the radar until now. This bill creates a process so we don't have to swoop in after harm has been done and assess a fine. We can protect on the front end.
Cara Smith
If a company bids enough, it can exclude all other competitors, leaving airlines with only one possible supplier and passengers with no choice. Experience shows that if a company has the chance to buy a monopoly license, it will pay a premium for it. That is because it allows them, with one fell swoop, to ensure that competitors will not be able to keep prices down or force them to innovate.
Michael Copps
The builders would swoop in and wipe them out. There is just no way to police that at the cash register.
Bill Herrle
The big difference is that Bush appears to view foreign policy from the pragmatic, problem-solving perspective and Gore has a somewhat messianic approach. He wants to do sweeping things that will change the world in one fell swoop.
Fareed Zakaria
The acquisition of Lauri added confusion to what we do. We'd been making similar stuff for years and everybody knew how to make those products. We basically doubled the size of our product line in one fell swoop and the old way of relying on memory no longer worked.
Robert Daggett
You assemble a very large site, then you put all the box stores on the outside and in the middle you create this main street lifestyle village with parallel or diagonal parking. One of the tricks is to make it look like it was built over time so it's part of an organic market rather than just building it in one fell swoop with everything looking the same.
Brian Thomas
I have never heard [in recent history] of several hundred [churches] leaving in one swoop. It serves as a threatening reminder to other mainline denominations of what can happen to them. Perhaps it will caution Methodists and Lutherans and Presbyterians.
Mark Tooley
Even if you take every year the problems of malaria, tuberculosis and HIV /AIDS, which are horrible, pandemic influenza has the potential in just one fell swoop to kill so many more people than those diseases kill in decades.
Mike Osterholm
On its own, the beetle can move only relatively short distances. With people moving firewood, the beetles can be moved across town or even across the state in one fell swoop.
Robert Waltz
The idea here is we resolve hopefully in one fell swoop all or almost all of the longstanding issues that we have and sort of inhibited the alliance going forward.
Richard Lawless
Here we're talking about some galactic scale event that takes an already very massive cloud and just crushes it into extremely high densities forming, in one fell swoop, hundreds and hundreds of stars, most of which are far more massive than our own sun.
Mark Morris
We don't conduct random sweeps. Our actions are carefully planned. We know who we are targeting and why. We don't wait at playgrounds or have checkpoints in grocery stores. We don't lie in wait and swoop down on people.
Lori Haley
I think that individual responsibility is paramount with everyone. People need to be self-sufficient for that 72-hour period. There?s no instantaneous thing that?s going to swoop down and take care of them.
Mike Curry
In one fell swoop they have become the 800 pound gorilla in another interactive entertainment industry.
Evan Wilson
The store sizes are complementary. The Northeast has been a huge success for the company, and this is the last opportunity to enter the region in a big manner in one fell swoop.
