The Threat of Marshall Law is Real

August 25, 2007 John Dave Lindorf, Information Clearing House, Insurrection Act, Marshall Law

Bill Nelson Continues His Assault on The Constitution

August 7, 2007September 1, 2008 John Bill Nelson, FISA, S.1927, senate, Senator Jim Webb

Unfortunately I’m not surprised to find that Florida Senator Bill Nelson has voted in favor of the amendment.

The history of the present King … [George] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Vitter Has Double Standard-Big Suprise There, He’s a Senator

Senator David Vitter is the United States Senator who was on the phone records for the D.C. Madame. He went into exclusion for a while, then came to give a brief statement, have his wife pimp for him, and then duck out the back door as if nothing had happened. It was a pretty shameful display.
