@ pfj:  since you addressed it to me I'll post just once more...

Quote: Tom, what you're looking at is a setback for your partisan position. It's actually a great day for the constitution.

I did not realized that the constitution of the United States of America was a partisan position...

and killing some of our rights is good for the principals it upholds....   I guess global warming is good for the environment,,,  Huummm..  Perhaps high gas prizes are good for the car....

Question... In simple terms..   How far is too far for you....  what constitutional rights would you say are not worth changing or bending even if it might be a security risk??

somehow I think you won't have an easy answer......  but....
