[...] how they justify voting against the Al Franken anti-rape amendment, exposing David Vitter’s racism, or demonstrating that even after six months of debate, republicans still couldn’t tell me [...]

[...] out a statement saying that judges should follow the law and not make it up as they go along. So I followed up by asking the Senator if he thought the Supreme Court correctly decided Loving v. Virginia – [...]

Every time I think that I’m clean out of ‘I can’t believe the level of idiots that are elected to the US Congress’, here comes another one.

How these people keep finding other people willing to agree with them, and continue to return them to office, year after year, is just beyond belief – but there they are, year after year after….. and when they finally retire to their mega-corporation, mega-salary private ‘reward’ job?

Another one, more right-wing than the last one, shows up just in time to take their place.

Gah….

[...] I can say about this is that David Vitter should be target #1 for national Democrats in the Senate. This is absolutely unbelievable: Vitter graduated Tulane Law School in 1988. Loving v. Virginia, decided in 1967, was a unanimous [...]

Why not ask him a REAL question – like, does he wear diapers when he’s with his wife like he does when he’s with whores?

He’s clearly an idiot, but he does come from a long line of idiots.

(a) Vitter: Diaper Man

(b) “detained”: per the Supreme Court, if a police officer does so little as touching your sleeve, requires you to hand over your drivers’ license, or otherwise creates a situation in which you do not feel you are free to go, you have been “arrested,” and if it’s done without probable cause or within a narrow set of exigent circumstances, it is false arrest and a violation of your Fourth Amendment rights. The word “detained” means exactly the same thing as “arrested,” but state actors frequently use it hoping that it sounds like “just sorta slowed down a little,” instead of fully and completely arrested.

As husband to a mixed race woman who was born before Loving v. Virginia was decided, I find Vitter’s lack of knowledge of the case to be alarming and troubling. This guy is a law school graduate and a former attorney, and he doesn’t know this case? Shameful!

During Katrina, Senator Landrieu was the US Senator taking heat over any lack of Federal response. I wondered, there are two US Senators for each state, why is the other one not making themselves accountable. Where is this person. Not long after, we find out by virtue of prostitution charges and admissions by Senator Vitter. What a man!!!! And now we know the OTHER US Senator for Louisiana…..

Just plain sad, in 2009 this nation has a Senator with ideas and actions of David Vitter.

He keeps being re-elected.

By people who think the way he does.

Representitive Democracy for our lowest common denominator.

I take heart in knowing the chances of his point of view regaining a national majority are no longer viable.
