Justice Scalia takes am at the 'Living Constitution' theory --
ABC News: Scalia Dismisses 'Living Constitution' People who believe the Constitution would break if it didn't change with society are 'idiots,' U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says".
[...]
Scalia criticized those who believe in what he called the "living Constitution."
"That's the argument of flexibility and it goes something like this: The Constitution is over 200 years old and societies change. It has to change with society, like a living organism, or it will become brittle and break."
"But you would have to be an idiot to believe that," Scalia said. "The Constitution is not a living organism, it is a legal document. It says something and doesn't say other things."
Proponents of the living constitution want matters to be decided "not by the people, but by the justices of the Supreme Court."
Hmm, here is an interesting little fact should it be proven to be true. I have no reason to doubt it. What do you think, maybe a Michael Moore movie -- "Goridiocy"?
Al Gore Event Funded by Bin Laden's FamilyOn Saturday, the state-run Saudi news outlet Arab News reported that the Jeddah Economic Forum, where Gore spoke, was funded by "Saudi Arabian Airlines, the Saudi Binladin Group, Gulf One Investment Bank, Saudi Basic Industries Corp." and an array of other big companies with ties to the Middle East.
This
poll backs up some of my thoughts about Hillary for President.
The latest Rasmussen Poll reveals that only 27 percent of Americans would vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton as president. A sizable majority -- 43 percent -- said they would not vote for the junior senator from New York.
What will the Democratic base do/say? Why would these two speak for the wiretaps? My guess, since nether plan on a national campaign the polls of their constituents shows support for the wiretaps... This begs the question, what to these two really think?
Tom Daschle, Jane Harman: Don't Stop Wiretap Program Former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, along with the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Jane Harman, said emphatically yesterday that President Bush should continue his controversial terrorist wiretapping program.
Let's see we have on VP accidentally shooting a friend and another demonizing his own country -- which turns your stomach more? Sorry dems, but statements boarding on treasonous demonizing ones own country take the award! Al Gore not only speaks against his country and don't be fooled that he was talking speaking against republicans or President Bush -- he departed this country to make these blanket statements against his country, treasonous! Below is an article that takes Gore to task -
Investor's Business Daily: The Shame Of Al Gore Gore indicted the American government for its 'terrible abuses' of Arabs since the 9-11 attacks on New York and Washington.

What possesses a former vice president of the U.S. to travel to the birthplace of Islamist terrorism and denounce his country?
Robert C.J. Parry, a first lieutenant in the California Army National Guard's 1st battalion of the 184 Infantry, writes
The war you didn't see -- a must read op-ed.
So far, 14 of our soldiers have been decorated for valor and another 48 have earned the Bronze Star for service. But that cannot be found in print.
The more this man talks the more Americans are happy he did not win in 2000. It is amazing a man, who departs goes overseas and trashes a country he claims to love, came so close to the presidency... Thank God he will never come that close again.
Gore Laments U.S. 'Abuses' Against Arabs "The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. 'The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."
Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been 'indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."
"Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong,' Gore said. 'I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."
I am for technological advances in fact recommend them all the time; however, this is going just a tad bit to far in my opinion!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.
Does this shock anyone? Carter selectively forgetting things he did while being a puppet, much like his presidency, for the Democratic leadership... Doesn't surprise me at all; however, I thought I would share it with you.
Carter allowed surveillance in 1977 Former President Jimmy Carter, who publicly rebuked President Bush's warrantless eavesdropping program this week during the funeral of Coretta Scott King and at a campaign event, used similar surveillance against suspected spies.
[...]
...in 1977, Mr. Carter and his attorney general, Griffin B. Bell, authorized warrantless electronic surveillance used in the conviction of two men for spying on behalf of Vietnam.
We see the MSM continuing the lie. Below we see the lie that President Bush claimed "Niger had sold uranium to Iraq" --
Libby Says Leaks Authorized, Papers Show - Yahoo! News Wilson's revelations cast doubt on President Bush's claim in his 2003 State of the Union address that Niger had sold uranium to Iraq to develop a nuclear weapon as one of the administration's key justifications for going to war in Iraq.
Well let's look at the
2003 State of the Union and we find these words:
The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
Please show me where "Niger" was mentioned or where a claim of a "purchase or selling" was made... It wasn't! That doesn't stop AP writer Toni Locy from claiming it, guess Toni has changed career paths -- now a fiction writer instead of a reporter. (Hat tip:

I am considered by many a "internet geek"; however, I do not and will not understand the "internet dating" or "hooking up" fad. The "dating game" or attempting to find a life partner is way to personal to use the internet -- the anonymity of the internet is what drove it and still drives it for many... Shouldn't the word "anonymity" send of a big 'red flag' when talking about something so personal as a date? My heart goes out to this young lady's family.

Though not a John McCain fan -- I have to admit I liked this letter.
MCCAIN RELEASES LETTER TO OBAMA Dear Senator Obama:
I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere. When you approached me and insisted that despite your leadership’s preference to use the issue to gain a political advantage in the 2006 elections, you were personally committed to achieving a result that would reflect credit on the entire Senate and offer the country a better example of political leadership, I concluded your professed concern for the institution and the public interest was genuine and admirable. Thank you for disabusing me of such notions with your letter to me dated February 2, 2006, which explained your decision to withdraw from our bipartisan discussions. I’m embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won’t make the same mistake again.
With all hubbub over the Supreme Court, wire tapes, and the left's unending attacks on Bush -- between all the democratic comments on how bad this country is and declaring the end is near -- let us not forget there are young men and women that "believe" in what they are doing and are "doing it" for you and I. God bless them!
