As radio host Jim Quinn and Radio Rose always say about new of this sort:

“The Second Amendment, reset button for the Constitution.”

You know, I will be sad to be locked up but it will be nice to finally meet all of you FReepers.

I’ll make sure and send you care packages from my apartment in Shanghai, China. It appears that there will be greater political freedom in China than what the Democrats want in the US!

Rep. Alcee Hastings -- the impeached Florida judge Nancy Pelosi tried to install as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee until her own party members rebelled -- introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill that gives Attorney General Eric Holder sole discretion to label groups that oppose government policy on guns, abortion, immigration, states' rights, or a host of other issues. In a June 25 speech on the House floor, Rep. Trent Franks, R-AZ, blasted the idea: "This sounds an alarm for many of us because of the recent shocking and offensive report released by the Department of Homeland Security which labeled, arguably, a majority of Americans as 'extremists.'"

Another Hastings bill (HR 645) authorizes $360 million in 2009 and 2010 to set up "not fewer than six national emergency centers on military installations" capable of housing "a large number of individuals affected by an emergency or major disaster." But Section 2 (b) 4 allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to use the camps "to meet other appropriate needs" -- none of which are specified. This is the kind of blank check that Congress should never, ever sign.

The cyberbullying law would be great. Sarah Palin alone have the entire state-run media, most of congress, and all of their staffers put in prison.

If this is the same Linda Chavez who is a Rep from So Calif- she is the one who got lots of illigal voters and ousted B-1 (?) Bomber supporter Bob Dornan.

Her election was a forerunner of the Nov 2008 election of NObama. It was seriously tainted.

It’s Loretta Sanchez and yes, she is the one who stole the election from B1 under very questionable circumstances. In addition, she changed her anglo married name back to her maiden name of Sanchez in order to garner the Hispanic vote. She used to be my rep before I exiled myself from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia.

I’m not sure I’ll care anymore.

I seriously told my DH, let me go and take the kids to TX or OK. They will be safe there.

Nope — that was Loretta Sanchez. Linda Chavez was up for a cabinet post under W until certain, um, fiscal irregularities came to light regarding her Guatemalan houseguest-nanny-cook-cleaning-woman.
