I was under the assumption that the Bill of Rights applied to ALL American citizens. WIth Graham's question, and then McDermott's accusation yesterday that the Tea Party folks "deserved" the IRS cavity search, I'm beginning to wondering if our elected officials understand the Constitution at all.

I'll ask again - why isn't Kelly the Speaker instead of that flaccid Boehner?

Watch at about :50 - every single Republican gets a shiver up their spine when McCommie, er Mc Dermott starts to lecture the Tea Party on what Free Speech means to democrats.

Kerry would agree to gelding if he thought it would make him seem important. What a worthless blowhard.

Talk to the people of AZ about that one...

McCain - come out of the closet and just put a "D" behind your name and get it over with. I'm sure you're struggling to be true to yourself

Obama's tactic is not to be a strong-man, but also not to be an appeaser - he's going for the middle ground of just being a flaccid wimp.

Better yet, why isn't this guy the Speaker...

was this supposed to be funny?

"Political courage" in a modern age = spending someone else's money on things liberals want to see in place. Doing the right thing (protecting the constitution, doing what is morally correct, being a decent human being) is nowhere to be seen in the calculus.... The "profiles in courage" sham is cynical liberal political theater at its worst.
