Two Republican in the UseLess Senseless voted against the bill.

And it was not any of the usual RINO suspects. It was Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Robert Bennett of Utah.

I am starting to think the Republicans have an intentional plan to gum up the works so they can make it look like they're trying, but, oh, darn, we didn't have the votes, so the liberals get their way again....

Chafee and Specter had taken enough heat lately. Voinovich sunk the estate tax so he did his "good deed" for the year. DeWine has too tough a re-election fight. So it's McConnell's and Bennett's turn to crap on the will of the voters.

The Constitution doesn't need this amendment.

Neither did we need a Pledge Of Allegiance to the Flag until a 19th century socialist promoted such.I find it instructive the Founders apparently saw no such need .

Free political speech means all views may be expressed no matter how stupid so the public can see the truth.

I pity those who fight for a piece of cloth and ignore the Constitutional principles.If only people would demand those sworn to uphold the Constitution did so this debate wouldn't exist.

Passing an amendment is the wrong mechanism to stop desecration to our Flag. We've had two Constitutional amendment resolutions in as many months. At this rate we may as sell lottery tickets. The winner gets to put forth is own resolution. Do we want to see the Constitution look like our tax code?
