Thank goodness you've showed up. I was waiting for some logical debate :P

[RamsNo1]

What in the world possessed you to make such an imbecile comment? We are talking issues here and I thank you to take your comments, elsewhere.

[nopardons]

Many thanks, for posting this well thought out, factual , calm piece. I am sick and tired of those who are claiming that President Bush did so and so, isn't Conservative, is betraying us, ect., ect, ect., based solely on their own misperceptions / imaginings / their agandas, which the president NEVER was in favor of, going off on rabbling, wild eyed rants.

The " I've been a Conservative all of my life, but Bush just lost my vote " cants, read like just so many " serial callers " and you all know what I mean; or should ! If you people are going to be THAT political naive, and have learned NOTHING during your stay on FR, than this site is absolutely useless and should shut down. Our glass is at least 1/2 full ; however , you guys keep seeing it as being empty.

Again, you have my thanks, Texsforever, and my gratitude, for bringing some sense to this mess.

Your point? Bush is selling out and nothing can change that fundamental fact. Lots of Clintonesque excuses here for it, but doesn't change the facts. Bush is a Texas sized, ten gallon hat RINO, and the GOP, having been castrated on the Bush "ranch" is a bunch of RINO steers.

They are also under no obligation to even take this case.

They will not refuse to hear this case. Mitch McConnell is filing as a plaintiff.

You should change your screen name to VoiceOfReason...but then it wouldn't have "Texas" in it - so, nevermind. :)

Dick Armey was on FNC the other night and he explained the President's immigration bill as being designed to grant temporary amnesty to the workers who have originally come into this country Legally, but through inefficiency of the INS, have not had their papers processed after many years

Well, you can trust Armey, or your own eyes.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What a breath of fresh air this article is!

[dittomom]

Thanks, Tex. I am simmering down. The most offensive part of this damn thing is the broadcast ad restrictions and that is highly likely to be struck down by the courts. But I still want to see The President come out and tell us on TV what his thinking is on this. I want to hear him talk about how he is supporting the court challenges to the bill. He has a great, good old fashioned Texas way of 'esplainin' things and I want to hear it.

[dts32041]

Why are you talking to me like that, all I have been saying is the SCOTUS, may find the law constitutional.

Their track rcord proves anything can happen.

If Bush feels part of the bill is unconstutional, then he should veto it and not rely on the SCOTUS.

[Buckeroo]

Your post is filled with lies and scandals! It appears you would have endorsed Clinton for his sex life in the White House. You are certainly performing the same with Bush's UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND/OR ANTI-AMERICAN considerations.

We need a president that will pledge his dedication to America, we don't need a president that dedicates a pledge to illegals and criminals of the United States.

[RamsNo1]

I am sorry that I said it in a crude manner. I have supported Bush since he first ran for governor of Texas. But I am so blazing mad that I can't support anyone next time around. I will always support Bush on the war effort because I love our troops and for the memory of my late parents who were veterans. I just want to stay proud of a country and a government that they fought for.

A few more PINGS.

[Texasforever]

You are welcome. The problem with the "debate" so far is that the other side has taken it to such an extreme in making their point, people that would otherwise agree with them but are a little more fair minded are put on the defensive from the first shot. I hate exaggeration and hyperbole as a way of stating a case and find it impossible to align myself with it. That is the largest single thing the fringe right has in common with the fringe left and it is obnoxious no matter which side is doing it. I will admit, I never thought I would ever find a person more conservative than me, that is until I ran into the Paleos on this site.

So you give the option to a 9 man/woman team dressed in black robes to pick and choose from law? When will the horrors end on this network, called FR? You folks don't believe in the Constitution, at all!

[2Trievers]

You're not going to take this lying down, Tex, are you?

Happy, Texas

[dts32041]

Sure they can refuse to take the case.

They do that quite often.

Just cause a Senator has an interest in the case, doesn't mean the SCOTUS has to take it.

I remember Senators had an interested in finding the so called line item veto unconstitutional and the SCOTUS, stating they had no standing with the court cause it didn't affect them.

So state had to make the challenge.

Remember lawyers and Judges do not think like normal people, they have been taught to make a straight line into a Mobius circle.

Your post is filled with lies and scandals

Buck, in Texas when someone calls another person a liar they are asked "politely" to back it up. So Buck, please back that up.

[Texasforever]

Thanks, I don't do ping lists. LOL

[Luis Gonzalez]

Great post, flag me next time.

I see that the mouth-breathers are starting to show up already.
