The fact powerful political figures are actively trying to bring it down ought to be a source of concern. I have no faith the SCOTUS will stop it---they can't even enforce that presidential candidates release their actual births certificates to prove eligibility for office. And in any case it's the credible threat of force that matters -- and companies are cow-towing to this thuggery all too easily (listening to the AIG exec (an Obama supporter) today grovel before Frank as he illegitimately threatened subpoena was disgusting). I wish just one of them chicken shits would call Frank out for the moronic jackass that everyone knows he is while the cameras are rolling. If only one of them would point out that he was LITERALLY sleeping with a Freddie Mac exec while that institution fumbled, or that the closest thing to a legitimate private enterprise Frank was ever associated with was the male prostitution ring his boyfriend ran out of his apartment--what a turning point that would be! This whole thing has raised my blood pressure like relatively few political events have in recent memory. - Bob _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
