Quote:forget politics for one second, why does everything have to come down to libs vs. conservatives?I believe this is the point that started this thread. The republicans made it an issue. Not the democrats, not the independents. The republicans started to spin this out of control. It was a republican initiative to support the far right that crafted a bill overnight to protect one single citizen. It was the republican president that flew back to Washington from his vacation to sign this overnight law. It wasn't a democrat that came into the oval office in his jammies to sign this law.
The moral issue here is a no win argument. The points on both sides are valid and passionate. The issue here is strictly political. Bottom line is the republicans crossed the line. They passed a law overnight simply because they didn't like the rulings of the courts. In other words, if we are unhappy with the current law, we will try to sway decisions with a new one. Hopefully the Supreme Court upholds the recent rulings and this will come to an end. Ultimately this effort of Sunday night by republican law makers and the President will fail and be a black eye to the party.
