Quote of the day

"Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?" said Councilwoman Tonya Payne, a supporter. "This is what's right to do, and if this means that we have to go out and have a court battle, then that's fine ... We have plenty of dead bodies coming up in our streets every single day, and that is unacceptable."
(Reference: http://www.pittsburghpostgazette.com/pg ... 26-100.stm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

And to think this individual holds an elected position. People really are stupid. This is one of the reasons our fight is so difficult.

I posted this (500 character limit):
"Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?"

Ms. Payne, I believe you should give the Constitution a close reading. Understand that it is a legal document, not an opinion open to debate.
