But I'm in William F. Buckley's and Thomas Sowell's camp, and you're in Patrick Leahy's. Now who's the weird one?
-- Apparently, a 'bleeding heart' republican, to you, would be one who upheld our republics constitution as per the 'peoples' rights.
By providing any vagrant who washes up on our soil a free lawyer, you're the one who is NOT upholding our republic's Constitution as per the "people of the United States"' rights. You think you're upholding the Constitution, but in reality, I'm the one who's interpreting it correctly and upholding it - and protecting the general welfare. You would allow foreign criminals to have an increased and undeserved chance to live another day to kill another American.
Over & over people & persons are mentioned in the constitution, yet you would deny them rights unless they are citizens.
Over and over again, the "person's" mentioned are "of the United States". You've got to put the document in context, otherwise you'll be providing free US Taxpaid lawyers to Japanese citizens. I can only conclude that you are a bleeding heart republican, along with backup, A.J. Armitage, and Luis Gonzalez.
