39. Contrary to public opinion...

K&R

..... many would be surprised to know that all of the plaintiffs voted for PO. They are NOT against PO, as so many on DU presume. The plaintiffs are against the wording of the policy, which everyone here should realize was not written by PO himself. There are some issues that go way beyond politics, my friends. And this is one of them.

I have not heard one peep out of the mainstream press on this major issue of our time. Maybe some have, Lord knows I can't keep with all of them... It's not fair that I can only rec this once.

Thank you so much for keeping this subject on the front burner...

The only thing more craven then Obama signing the NDAA into law is the total lack of media coverage Catherina Feb 2013 #11
Actually, the only thing more craven is that it passed the Senate with 83 votes ProSense Feb 2013 #14
