Our Anti-Freedom Congressmen
As .08 Acres (and a Donkey) notes, the Boston Herald reports on the four Massachusetts congressmen who voted for the anti-flag-burning Constitutional amendment. Congressmen Lynch, Delahunt, Neal and McGovern should be ashamed.
One of the things that makes me proud of this country, is that even in this mad age of radical right-wing partisanship, the Constitution has remained unedited. Sure, the courts are being packed with judges whose interpretation of the Constitution's words is nigh unrecognizable, and the fundamental precepts of the Constitution are violated daily by the presidential administration, but at least the document itself hasn't been graffitied.
But the floodgates are opening with this, an attempt to for the first time amend the Constitution to take away freedoms.
