agreed, bud, but what can be done about it?
bush ain't gonna rattle the soccer mommies via ashcroft.

the legal system gets 1/3 of it's dough from handling the fallout of divorce.

Women's groups and a LARGE number of "conservative" women support this stuff wholesale.

the media do their deadbeat dad's report twice a month, and the soccer divorces literally soak their shorts at the joy of ever more potential income... while our elected officials sharpen their steely knives in anticipation of some new right they can take away from the no longer wanted "deadbeat daddies" driver's licenses, passpports, professional licenses, even a second spouse's income or inheritance from the death of HER parents.

This is now a bedrock principle of our criminal justice system.
(STARE DECISIS - Lat. "to stand by that which is decided." ) guarantees this will NOT change in our lifetime.

I see that NOTHING can or WILL be done.
It's politically correct to maintain the status quo or go even further. We created a new subclass of american... and failing their adaptation to the new status, we have created a new criminal class where there was none before.

I would say thank you bill clintong, but newt and the republicans pushed the majority of this through via the "welfare reform act"...

Newt Gingrich at the time was hundreds of thousands behind in his child support.
