Politics is not religion, it is war. In religion there is only truth and heresy. In war there is only winning and losing.

I disagree. Our political positions stem from our religion, or lack thereof. Politics, may be war, but if divorce it from truth, we will find ourselves losing even if we win. It is not acceptable to win by any means necessary.

So you object to sunsetting the AWB by simply ignoring it?

Then there is the minor matter of the Constitution, which all the members of Congress, the federal judges, the federal officeholders and the President have sworn to uphold. Character counts, as we learned only too well in the 1993-2000 period. What are we to think of people who take that oath casually, or appear to do so at any rate? If politics be a form of war, in war there are some rules, and the first rule in this case is the Constitution.
