Re: the Florida rulings.

How shocking and sad to watch 225 years of American Constitutional law disappear right in front of us. The sadness is in the realization that our freedoms have been taken away while we weren't looking and that they will be nearly impossible to recover.

The shocking part is the blatant manner [in which] this occurred. No closed door secret cabals, no subterfuge; simply an arrogant man and his arrogant party changing the rules of law to suit the moment, the Constitution be damned.

Referring to Richard Nixon during the Watergate hearings, Senator Sam Ervin, a Democrat, said "We're not going to let that S.O.B. step on our Constitution." Where is Sam Ervin when you need him?
