My point is that some people were so taken with themselves and their cause that they escalated things right up the scale, because they and their cause were oh so important.

So... believing too fervently in a cause might lead to offenses against public order. Got it, I'll be sure to keep that in mind, and not let myself be carried that far. I think I can confidently say the same about my fellow freepers, at least on this issue.

But you can't just let a constitutional process play out? Free speech and the writing of petitions is in contention here. What I object to is the object of the petition, the removal of a Presidential nominee before going to the Senate. Those opposed to the Miers nomination claim the are opposed out of worry for the Constituion and the Republic. Yet these same people come now wanting to short circuit the process. Many are saying why even have a hearing! Hearings are worthless, but pass me that petitition!
