The 8th Amendment is being violated

Undocumented in this country is a civil offense on par with jaywalking yet Dump and his minions are separating families and warehousing them with no timeframe and deplorable conditions.

Why haven't I heard ANY of our party leaders mentioning the 8th Amendment?

Does the Constitution mean anything anymore?

He wasn't a fan of Bill Clinton because he moved the party to the right and things like the crime bill has caused long lasting damage.

I voted straight Democratic too since I have became eligible to vote. (I missed the 2006 midterms because I was deployed).

I remember the early 2000s. Greens and Democrats were more united back then to take down Bush.

I meant after he voted for him in 2000 he begged Nader along with Bill Maher not to run for the 2004 election.
