Hostettler = wacko

This guy Rep. John Hostettler (R-IN),(yes, the same guy who was arrested for trying to get his loaded gun through airport security) is working hard to attack our 6th Amendment right to a fair and speedy trial. Get a load of this:

"When the courts make unconstitutional decisions, we should not enforce them. Federal courts have no army or navy... The court can opine, decide, talk about, sing, whatever it wants to do. We're not saying they can't do that. At the end of the day, we're saying the court can't enforce its opinions."

Reminds me of a song they used to play on rock and roll stations, by Dennis Leary, called "I'm an @$$hole".. one of the lines went "You know why? Cause we got the bombs, that's why".

They are attacking the courts. They are attacking the courts' ability to review the constitutionality of laws, which is part of the foundation of the U.S. system of government.

They are attacking your ability to defend yourself, disabling class-actions and capping damages. They are currently encarcerating AND TORTURING people without representation and without trial. The phrase "enemy combatant" does not appear in the constitution. Be aware.

You'd think this was China or something.

Join the ACLU. Get a friend to join. Corporatists have already taken over two branches of our government.
