65. What you're seeing is the American people's Constitutional rights position. I
never thought I would see anyone supporting this Bush anti-Constitutional position on a democratic board, but even worse I never thought that the my party would go even further to push Bush policies than Bush himself was able to do.

I guess you weren't around during the Bush years when to Democrats this very issue, the implementation of those machines, was a major issue that we fought Bush on and succeeded in keeping them out of our airports, with the help of Civil Liberties organizations. When exactly did the left start supporting Bush's fascist policies???

As for the headline that you are so focused on, the TSA believes that Texas has passed a law banning their pat-downs. Check it out. That's good enough for me.

The courts cannot ignore violations of the Constitution. The TSA has no authority to treat people like criminals. Even the police, who have far more authority, still, despite all of Bush's efforts, cannot do that.

I like our Constitution. I like it enough that I am willing to take a teeny, tiny, miniscule risk that I might die by terror since I take far greater risks every day.
