[Mb-civic] Power abused, democracy corrupted

Power abused, democracy corrupted.
 
For Congress to step into the Schivao case is a blatant trampling of  
individual rights.  Last week Judge Greer refused to answer a Congressional  
subpoena, correctly stating that Washington has had numerous opportunities in  the 
past 7 years to get involved.  Michael Schivao asked why Bush  is so hot and 
heavy to get involved now, he hasn't bothered stopping by or  mentioning the case 
in any of the numerous trips made to the Tampa Bay area in  the past year.  
This whole thing stinks of political pandering to a  minority.  In the following 
article Times Columnist Howard  Troxler brings up a interesting scenario if 
the same issue of overriding  individual rights occurred with Hilary as 
president, would she get the same  rabid support?  What is really sad is these 
grandstanding bastards are  ignoring the wishes of the majority of citizens - the 
decision should rest with  the spouse.
