Via Josh Claybourn, this is very important. I agree with his comments completely.
I haven't gotten to write anything about this -- partly because I've been "resigned to defeat" like he says -- but I keep wanting to say to our traitorous Supreme Court: "What part of 'Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech' don't you understand!?"
And lest we get too down on the Supreme Court that upheld this dreck, or the Congress that passed it, keep in mind that our president signed it into law, despite expressing his belief that it was unconstiutional, thus violating his oath of office.
And, in addition to the huge medicare socialist crap that Bush signed, this is the main reason I don't like Bush domestically anymore. And for me, that's saying a whole lot. Overall he's still ok... I still like him as a person, and foreign policy-wise he's excellent -- though he's equivocated in cases like Israel and Taiwan -- and I'm going to vote for him again, but I'm not happy.
Tax cuts, while great, don't really mean much in the long run if you create huge upward pressure on taxes through things like this prescription drug bill. We need to pass a balanced budget amendment, like they just did in California (well, they voted to put it before voters, and I expect it'll pass).
