Woe unto the 74 who voted against this legislation.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Let bet all who bet against this were democrats.

Excellent. Bush's veto of the embicilic stem cell bill, the House passes a measure to protect the Pledge of Allegiance and now this. They need more productive days like this on Capital Hill instead of the usual nonsense.

Amazing, just one atheist ties up the courts and government for 17 years.

[Names Ash Housewares]

So does this have teeth? IS the end finally in sight?
What a waste of time and money it has been on this issue in San Diego. Over ONE jackass!

San Diego has enough problems.

San Diego-area congressman Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, said in floor debate that federal ownership would make the existing lawsuit moot and might also insulate the cross from further legal challenges under the U.S. Constitution.

I'm all in favor of making this frivolus lawsuit moot. I'm not in favor of doing it by turning more real estate over to the federal government.

A far better method would be to pass legislation to set these type of cases outside the jurisdiction of the court involved-- much as congress set Gitmo outside the rulings of the U.S. courts.

Then congress needs to be prepared to bitch-slap any court who considers cases put outside their jurisdiction . . . up to and including impeachment of any judges who dare violate what has been set outside their limits.

[doug from upland]

I'm happy that the President let Congress do this. We were able to get 74 ahoes on record.

After the immigration debacle, Sessions will ram his bill down the Senate's throat. I expect this to get Bush's signature by fall. Ought to be fun watching the heathen responsible for this mess chasing his own tail and barking at the moon afterwards. LOL

Melissa Bean is on my list as one of the six rats likely to lose her seat. This vote will only help insure her doom. Some of those other 73, all rats of course, are among the worst scumbags in the House. It will certainly be used by her GOP challenger and it will sting her.
