Foul Priorities

It is hard to believe that Congress, which has a deadly and unjustifiable
war to stop, Constitutional liberties to restore to the people, and a
lying lawbreaking President to impeach, is actually spending even one
minute of time investigating whether baseball players took steroids.  WHO
CARES?

 Roger Clements didn’t start the Iraq war; he didn’t throw people
in prisons and deny them habeus corpus and torture them; he probably
didn’t even take steroids– he says he didn’t.  I believe him.  But IT
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER!

I like baseball.  It’s fun to play, and fun to watch.  But, Senators,
IT’S A GAME!  Get over it, and get back to business.

TEXAS ANTI-VIBRATOR LAW OVERTURNED!

Texas women and lovers of liberty everywhere can rejoice.  The repressive Texas law banning "sex toys" has been found unconstitutional.  The law violated the right to privacy under the 14th Amendment, said the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans.

There are similar laws in Mississippi, Alabama and Virginia.  Already such laws in Louisiana, Kansas, Colorado and Georgia have been invalidated by previous court decisions.  Freedom marches on!

Those who assume the position that the government can control what people purchase to prod their privates privately are prone to fallacy.  The Declaration of Independence listed the pursuit of happiness as an inalienable human right.  While despots will often try to stand in the way,when vigilant citizens stand ever-ready and energized, they can overcome repression.
