Those activist judges are at it again…
Graham/Kyl was introduced today to quickly remedy that.
Temporary setback, which Congress will quickly remedy.
Of course Pres. Bush’s speech was just the cherry on top of everything…
Simplifying the speech it to it’s essence he basically said, “Oh yeah? Well your ruling won’t mean anything for very long, I’ll just get a law passed that lets me do what I wanted to do in the first place.”
It’s irritating to watch how he continues to think that the law doesn’t apply to him.
