In November 2004, Sensenbrenner and California Congressman Duncan Hunter blocked the bill that would have created a National Intelligence Director, or NID. The creation of a NID was a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission.
Sensenbrenner married Cheryl Warren in 1977, with whom he has two sons, Frank, born in 1981, and Bob, born in 1984.
Sensenbrenner held an important role in the impeachment of Bill Clinton, acting as one of the House managers.
Sensenbrenner believes in criminal prosecution of broadcasters and cable operators who violate decency standards as opposed to the current FCC regulatory methods.
On June 10, 2005, Sensenbrenner, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, abruptly ended and walked out of a meeting where Republicans and Democrats were supposed to be debating the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act, but Judiciary Democrats decided to talk about Guantanimo Bay and the Iraq war.
