Rove v. was an abortion of Constitutional Law.

It's not a specifically enumerated federal power it belongs to the states.

It might be a good idea in the future to link to a live feed rather than feeding it so that the comment activity can run normally. I'm spending most of my time having to reconnect to LGF from scratch after I hit "new comments" or "preview" more than once. I'm not even running the live feed through my PC and it feels like I've gone back to a dialup modem.

Just a suggestion...

80 SeafoodGumbo  10/15/08 7:11:20 pm reply quote

Obama's campaign pays women less than the men; McCain's doesn't.

81 astronmr20  10/15/08 7:11:22 pm reply quote

How about equal pay for campaign workers, Barry?

82 devil in baggy pants  10/15/08 7:11:23 pm reply quote

Notice Obama doesn't want a constitutionalist on the bench.

83 Intrepid  10/15/08 7:11:24 pm reply quote

Obama's tossing out the Fair Pay act, when it was shot full of awfulness.

Let's see how Mac responds....

Personally, I could choose a qualified judge who disagrees with major ethical positions I hold. I think McCain could also do that.

Oh. He opened up pay discrimination. Pounce John.

Roe doesn't agree with Roe/Wade, and it was one of those 5 to 4 decisions, you know, like Gore v. Bush in 2000.

WAIT - equal pay for equal work! Obama doesn't even do that with his campaign workers.
