Reading some of the answers makes me wonder where you righties get your information.
gimpalong said:
- there are 7th generation welfare recipients - Welfare hasn't even been around that long.
- A union car guy makes 60-80/hr + bene's. $60/hr would put that guy above 10% of income earners- not possible $20-30/hr w/overtime is closer.

How many of you righties can honestly tell me me that you or your family haven't benefited from "liberal" types of policies and cornerstones - e.g. Unemployment, Soc. Security, Union representation, Regulations governing water, lending, safety, etc.

Fact is, few if any. And no, I haven't EVER been on welfare, collected unemployment or worked in a union job.

I understand double jeoperdy, but in cases where the person actually admits after trial is over that he/she indeed did do the crime-shouldnt they be charged? I think so.

Civil Trial is in Texas. The witness has moved from the city where he was subpoenaed, but he is still within the State of Texas. He is the only witness I have. Judge had signed the motion to designate him as a responsible third party, is this enough?

What elements of the Constitution has President Bush bypassed so far? (Even before MCA).

We're likely to find out what a Democratic President will do with it in 2008. MCA = Military Commissions Act of 2006.
