There's the rub.  What they admitted when cornered is one thing.  What
they'll do later when they've had more time to rationalize again is
quite another, and it was obvious they were determined to rationalize.
MF> RP> Remember from whence come the Clintons.
MF>I'd rather concentrate on where they *should* be going.
Hehehe...  Yeah, but there's a lesson there.  Isn't it interesting that
they and so very many of the scum like them come from a legal
background?  It simply supports a contention I've long held, that we
should studiously avoid electing lawyer types to public office.
We the People have much to repent of in that regard, as it is we who
have turned from the citizen legislature our founders intended and
elected mostly a bunch of lawyers instead.  Little wonder our laws are
in such a mess these days, and little wonder Congress hasn't the spine
to take on the Mount Olympus of so much of its membership, the Supreme
Court, as it is Constitutionally bound to do when the Court is out of
line.
