Interesting. If you have a news article pointing that out, please share. We need details if this goes through and is signed. Thanks in advance.

[Ford Fairlane]

Unforunatly, I don't have any news article.

I have heard it from a couple of older local politicians, one Republican & one Democrat, the Republican is intimatly familiar with LaHood's & Hastert's operations, so in my opinion there is a 99% chance it is true

[carenot]

We should feel optimistic that this will be reversed. Otherwise, it is a sure fire loser for Bush.

But he said he would sign it.

[Stew Padasso]

Yes. Lets hope it does not make it to his desk.

[Stew Padasso]

So do you support the AW ban?

[Stew Padasso]

What is the possibility of getting these folks on the record before its pushed past Hastert?

[Stew Padasso]

"What's your proof that they have or are going to remove it?"

The source where the video was hosted is not allowed on FR. So, it is now on a different source. No big deal, just letting the admins know that I am not repeating the same mistake.

Clue: I'm talking about the White House.

[Stew Padasso]

Fair enough. Still wanted to clear up my first post. Do you support the AW ban?

[Howlin]

No, I do not.

[SoDak]

I agree with you. If this gets signed, I'm voting constitution.

[tpaine]

bump

[Howlin]

How fast can you get that pasted over there?

[tpaine]

Over where?

[billbears]

You're determined to get this up, aren't you?
One has to wonder why.

Well I haven't seen it. And it's important for all to see how their elected leaders vote on certain issues, especially ones where they violate the Constitution based on their stance. Glad to see the President of these United States plans to sign legislation based on focus groups, studies, and polls instead of the Constitution....but hey how's that different from any other day for the past 143 years? Republican, Democrat, again I ask what's the difference? If I wanted the AWB ban to continue, socialized healthcare plans, biggest spending since LBJ I could have voted for Gore.

But I didn't. I voted for Bush. I actually believed his 'stance' on states rights. One of the few reasons I voted for him. Silly me, to believe a Republican of all people, knowing the history of the party, would honor the rights of the states and the Constitution

[Ford Fairlane]

Not much chance of getting them on the record - they are trying to "keep their noses clean" & change things behind the scenes

My Dem. friend is an old blue dog democrat and is more conservative than most of the republicans in power, at the moment downstate conservatives in both parties are "plotting behind the scenes" as it were trying to manipulate things to the benifit of downstate Illinois, and they are trying not to let the party leaders from either party know who is up to what - at least that is what I gather from the discussions i have been involved in

But if Hastert pulls one more fool stunt & every republican congressman from the state does what he says, they are all going to face very expensive primary challenges next time around (as will a lot of dems)

[Ford Fairlane]

Silly me, to believe a Republican of all people, knowing the history of the party, would honor the rights of the states and the Constitution

Gee, I guess you never heard of a guy named Lincoln - as far as he was concerned we didn't have a constitution

(No, I dont want to refight that battle on this thread)

Of course, in my opinion Tyler was the last President to defend the constitution

And you have to admire a 54 year old guy who marries a 24 year old Heh Heh..

[Stew Padasso]

Too bad. Well it won't be hard to trace Hastert's steps if he does decide to govern like a jellyfish. Thanks for the info, and bump this thread with any updates.

[billbears]

Gee, I guess you never heard of a guy named Lincoln - as far as he was concerned we didn't have a constitution

Realized that long ago...

Of course, in my opinion Tyler was the last President to defend the constitution

I've seen that argument too, although I've also seen some say Polk was the last President to do so

I may hear more tomorrow nite, If I do i will update
