The article fails to recognize the difference between the two Administrations and their treatment by the respective Judiciary Committees.

At the start of the Clinton Administration, they weren't stonewalled and kept from gettting their appointees in place. Toward the end, as the toll was higher, they were. With the current Administration, they have faced outright obstructive action from day one.

Question:

If a terrorist(s) assassinated/executed Diane

Daschle, Hillary and assorted others,
would it be an act of war?

Or would a thank you card be in order?

Let's hear the opinions of the freepers.

Man that's tough. I'd have to say, A thank you card followed by impalement of the terrorist.

While I wouldn't mourn the passing of the traitors I also can't allow foreigners to kill American citizens. So, thank him and send him to join them.

God Save America (Please)
