Do we really need someone like this 'again' as president? I don't think so! How anyone can believe this is beyond me, How any one can believe that we should not have these kind of rights continue as part of our national identity is hard for me to understand. blessings
PEOPLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY June 13, 2008
Here's McCain, in his own words, proving exactly how out of touch he really is:
"The United States Supreme Court yesterday rendered a decision which I think is one of the worst decisions in the history of this country." *
What???
Yesterday's powerful decision by the Court (a decision Americans should be proud of) affirmed a fundamental constitutional right -- in this case, the right of a detainee to challenge the government's grounds for confining him. What does McCain think is so bad about that?
Does he think protecting the right to be heard in court is...
- ...worse than locking thousands of Americans in internment camps because they had Japanese ancestry? (Korematsu v. United States -- 1944)
- ...worse than forcing African Americans to sit at the back of the bus? (Plessy v. Ferguson -- 1896)
- ...worse than slavery? (Dred Scott v. Sanford -- 1857)
Really, Senator McCain?
