As for the flag-burning amendment, they're changing the Constitution because they don't like it. As for campaign-finance reform, my recollection is that most of it was upheld as constitutional, no?

For the most part, I agree with this, but that doesn't make it Constitutional per se.

Burger has my proxy, since he appears to be asking the questions I would.

"In 1975 the senators changed the filibuster requirement from 67 votes to 60, after concluding that it only takes a simple majority to change the rules governing their proceedings. As Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield ([D-Mont.) said at the time: ''We cannot allow a minority'' of the senators ''to grab the Senate by the throat and hold it there.'' Senators Leahy, Kennedy, Byrd and Biden all agreed."

Nearly a decade ago, Lloyd Cutler, the former White House counsel to Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, concluded that the Senate rule requiring a supermajority vote to change the rule is ''plainly unconstitutional.'"'

I believe the flag burning amendment was brought up only after a similar statute had been ruled down.

You're right on campaign finance. I guess I just can't believe it was upheld, so it conveniently slipped my mind. There are other examples of assinine laws attempted to be passed, most recently by the right.

I think we've seen this one before. You've met your quota on this one, Penske.

You are correct, the point was that it is true, not a photoshoppe. This is the first time its authenticity has been authenticated.

Guess they'll have to come up with a new secret sign for coercion.

ps: Here's another. Look at the girl in the back. Obviously not pleased to be seen with one of Hanoi's war heroes.

Clearly. She's so pissed that her part is veering off the side of her head. You sure this is a woman, Penske, or did you pull this off of a Hilary-hating site where each photo is infused with lesbianism?

Don't drink Sidd's kool-aid. You are classier than that.

This is the sort of breakdown of discipline in the military that leads to situations like Abu Grahib. I think it flows from the CinC.

With two hours to go before the most historic SCOTUS appointment of the century, it is time to lay down your predictions for posterity. You either have the balls to go on record or not.

I am going with my number 1 pick Janice Rodgers Brown (I was going to with Edith "Bait and Switch" Jones but sources are reporting she is still in Houston as I type), who is in DC today (confirmed).

Roe eats shite and dies by 2010.

:fuckyou: Teddy!

Chucklehead... Will you support the first state bills to give free abortions to those who can't afford them? If not, you've no business calling yourself a Rockefeller Republican. Its only makes good economic sense. Less mouths to feed.
