RE :”I never heard of a bondholder being told by the government to go screw, either...we are through the looking glass...I believe our best hope now is to absolutley return everything possible to States Rights issues, carve out some sanity and live there...”

I have no objections to that in the abstract (it will never happen) as I am a Scalia fan.

GWB/Cheney were the ‘big federal government do everything take over everything all things to all people including federal pro-life laws ’administration and so the defense of Cheney's ‘pro-gay rights’ positions by claiming he was just being ‘states rights’ is laughable.

And no I wont swallow that it was Bush that wanted big government and Cheney was against it.

Edwards said the U.S. Constitution does not call for such a law, and praised Cheney as a loving father.

Hardly a “new position”...anyone suggesting it isn’t is just laughable...
