White House reverses [decades old] stand on right to bear arms

Excerpt:

Reversing decades of Justice Department policy, the Bush administration has told the
Supreme Court that it believes the Constitution protects an individual's right to possess firearms............

"This action is proof positive that the worst fears about Attorney-General Ashcroft have
come true: His extreme ideology on guns has now become government policy," said Michael
Barnes, president of the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which promotes gun control.

You are over reacting. This is a nothing assignment. Presidents have been sending former Presidents on these things for years. Like it or not he is a former President. Better to send him there then the Middle East.

I don't live in fantasy land. But I beginning to question whether you do. I can't stand Clinton but we can't change the fact that he was the President of the United States. He won't stop critizing Bush but at least he is out of the way for a short time. I am realistic enough to know that former Presidents represent the country in things like this all the time. We may not want him representing us but there are those that do. That is reality. Personally this shows how unimportant Bush feels he is if he sends him to the middle of no where for a "back page news" assignment. I don't get upset over nothing and this is nothing.
