False! The supposed defenders of state's right decided they didn't like the ruling of a state supreme court so they created legislation to allow the matter to be reviewed by another set of courts, in this case federal. And yes, this is Bush's fault. He signed the bill. Let's be clear: this is nothing more than congress and the President overturning the ruling of state courts because it doesn't like the verdict. In Mr. Bush's first term the republicans gave up their "defender of fiscal sanity" badge. This tiime around it looks like they're giving up their "defender of state's rights" pin. Not only that, but these laws will enormously complicate future rulings because now every ruling in a state court will now be open for re-review by federal courts. Great work Republicans. So now the only thing the Republican party stands for is some type of no-abortions/keep-guns/kill-prisioners thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:151174 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
