413. Screw that
I don't care if he is both. If so he is a pathetic hypocrite, and being homophobic (by the way to be fair, not all those who vote against such rights are neccesarily homophobic, I would prefer to see how Dreier explain such votes before we discuss if he is homophboic)is stupid. Either way, he has a right to privacy, I have a right to privacy, you have a right to privacy. None of his votes, which I disagree with, violate your right to privacy, so what gives you the right to violate his? I remeber when I started my Civil Liberties class a semester ago. My professor came out and warned us that the people the court protects in such cases are often not the most likeable fellows. Miranda was a rapist (never convicted obviously but the evidence was so obvious.) Many free-speech expansions have been granted by cases brought to the court by hate groups. Yet they deserved, under our system, their rights. This is the same for hypocrites, they have their rights. And we, the party that fights for such rights, should demonstrate how much they mean to us by not engaging in such silly and destructive tactics.
