Reply #36: Constitutional issues ARE important [View All]

[lastliberalintexas]

Congress acted in violation of the Constitution and passed a bill of attainder this weekend, Congress and the White House are using extraordinary powers to supercede the function of our courts, our ability to control our own bodies and medical treatment is on the line, and this is being argued as an excuse for the RW Nazis to use the nuclear option in ramming Bush's nominees onto the courts.

You don't think these are important issues?

Yes, there are issues which are equally as important which are of course being ignored by the media. But this isn't the Michael Jackson trial they've glommed onto- this is an honest to goodness REAL issue the media thought they could run with, scare up sympathy for the family, and help the repubs in their quest to kill our justice system. Pretty damned important to me anyway.
