No flailing arms here, just stone cold rage at those treacherous vermin who signed onto that worthless bill and it's outrageous "sense of the Senate" clause. I meant what I wrote, and I am way beyond outraged. Read this again:
b) SENSE OF THE SENATE- It is the sense of the Senate that-- (1) the decision of the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade (410 U.S. 113 (1973)) was appropriate and secures an important constitutional right; and (2) such decision should not be overturned. Passed the Senate March 13, 2003
That clause tacked onto the bill clearly shows that ALL politicians (especially Republican politicians) are nothing more than lying, treacherous pond scum, and I see no reason to vote for any of them. Those traitors finally came out and told the truth, they have supported abortion all along. No wonder the Democrat filibuster of pro-life judicial appointees is succeeding, the Republican Senators WANT it to succeed. From here on I have no further interest in politics. Let the the stinking Democrats have it all, at least they aren't lying about their position on the single most important issue ever to face the American people.
48 Republican Senators voted for a statement which says they fully approve of murdering innocent, helpless human beings. Many, probably most, of those same Senators who voted for that bill took our money and our votes while promising to "do something" about the abortion holocost. Now we see what they meant by "doing something". They meant to engrave Roe v Wade in stone for the duration of the republic. For the last 30 years the Republican platform has been a flat-out lie straight from the pit of hell. A pox on all of them.
BTW, a reading of the bill shows that it is a meaningless farce. Any abortionist with an ounce of ingenuity can easily work around those flimsy "restrictions" and go right on merrily butchering tiny, living, conscious, feeling babies in the act of being born just as though this law was never written. The same Republicans who wrote the "sense of the Senate" and voted for this worthless bill will soon be preening around the landscape claiming they secured a great victory for pro-life movement. BS. What they secured is absolutely worthless, and they added salt to the wounds by brazenly admitting they have been betraying pro-life voters for decades. How could any human being sink any lower into depravity than those filthy lumps of reeking excrement?
That section and $4.75 will buy a double latte at Starbuck's.
From a legal perspective, that paragraph means zilch. It means less than those inane Congressional resolutions declaring the first Tuesday in October National Esperanto Palindrome Day & authorizing the Prez to commemorate same with appropriate ceremonies.
From a political perspective, it's a tiny figleaf for the RINOs whose votes were necessary for the bill to pass. And it gives the pro-aborts something to heckle pro-life Senators with during election time.
If this is your idea of a loss, I assume you were not a Red Sox fan in '78 or '86.
