That's great. Let's set precident that the SCOTUS can just ignore distinctions if they feel like it. Sorry, no. Even though I disagree with the non-ruling, I wholeheartedly agree that it was the right way to (not) rule. > And since the Supremes determine what the > Contitution says...

You mean the "Illegal aliens are criminals" bill that they're working on? News flash: they are here illegally. That's why they're called illegal aliens. No, you don't get a driver's license. Hell no, you don't get welfare money. Far as I'm concerned, they should get exactly two things: a taxpayer-funded photo session, and a taxpayer-funded bus ticket. And that's not a racist thing, that's a "dammit, there are rules and if you don't like them, get them changed" thing. >> > They do if it violates the "taking" clause (or any other >> > part) of the U.S. Constitution. >> >> (sigh). Nevermind. Just think how much more effective >> your anger would be if it was directed at the right people. > What anger is that? Disdain then. Disagreement. Call it whatever you want. You're pointing fingers at SCOTUS for not doing something, and losing the big picture of who _did_ do the thing you disagree with, is what I'm saying.
