Frist too obviously needs to change his party affiliation to Democrat. I cannot begin to express my disgust at these blatant attacks on federalism by first Delay and now Frist.
Gosh, I guess you don't remember a Republican president - by name of Eisenhower - who sent federal troops to a Southern state (Clinton's Arkansas) because local judges and politicians were denying blacks their constitutional right to go to school. Sorry, but it's not an "attack on federalism" when the federal government protects individuals' constitutional rights against bullying by local political or judicial hacks (like George Greer, the executioner of Terri Schiavo)
Why let principle stand in the way of cheap politics?
