Only morons and/or traitorous criminals could concoct, approve, & vote for such calamity. Even if the one Republican Rep. Boozman has not voted for this assault on citizens, what has he done to expose and/or stop it?? The Democrat Party has lost any remote vestige or rationality, morality or constitutionality and the Repubs, overall, ain’t far behind. If you politicians aren’t fearful and ashamed, you’ve been deprived of freedom’s oxygen too long and will be attended to in 2010.
