It is truly frightening that creating and/or even proposing legislature that it so blatantly unconstitutional is almost becoming a trend.

If Rachel Maddow can agree with Glenn Beck ( on anything, lol) these times, they are a changing.

It's so very hard to trust a "person" who does such good work and then turns around and undoes his credibility with something as heinous as this recent proposal.

Lieberman on DADT :

Lieberman on stripping citizenship:

I hope this is not seen as a derail. I think it terribly important for us to begin looking at our politicians through very clear glasses. I fear the federal governments lack of action regarding the AZ case is simply fueling the fires for any "anti-American" legislature.

Praying Lieberman's proposal isn't another thing that just slips by because it is inconvenient timing for elections and party posturing.

Everyone needs to be read their Miranda Rights.

PERIOD.

And stripping people we think MIGHT be terrorists? The line between terrorist and patriot is a fine one.

There's also the hypocrisy of good old Chuck Grassley, who does not want terrorists mirandized and also believes that it violates the 2nd Amendment if folks on the FBI watch list are banned from buying weapons. Gotta protect the 2nd, but fuck the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th.

Maybe we need a new thread.

Oh, FYI, the Los Suns uniforms are not new; the team has worn them before. They were worn for the occasion yesterday, but they were not created for the occasion yesterday. I noticed that about 98% of the mentions that I've seen didn't bother pointing this out.

I thought someone posted the article where it mentioned that the uniforms were used on Latino Day.

You're right, someone did. I had noticed that most articles and news reports were implying that the jerseys were a new idea, and wanted to clear that up

While I may be moderately disillusioned, I still think it was a good call to wear the Los Suns jerseys......new or not.

The point IS that they wore the uniforms with a purpose last night. The date of design is to ME irrelevant. It was the purpose that made it important.

I don't feel that there's a need to be disillusioned or think that this becomes less relevant. It was significant, it huge that the team did this, and it was huge that the commissioner approved. All I was doing was presenting the facts. Having as much information as possible should be important (if for no other reason than to avoid the sudden humiliation of announcing to a group of folks that the Suns made these great uniforms to protest only to have some NBA fan call "bullshit" to your face).

if you are on the FBI list you should not be read your rights, but you should be able to get a gun. makes no sense.
