The opposition complaints delineate the precise reasons why this
measure *should* pass.  Every complaint outlines a basis for
prejudicing against English when they achieve power.  The USA's
"10 amendments" were similarly decried back in 1788 as being pointless
because those rights were already understood by everyone.  But they
became bulwarks against subsequent attempts to infringe against those
rights, just as English will be infringed here without established
legal protection.
