SENATE BATTLE ERUPTS: CLIMATE LEGISLATION ON “HOLD”

Reacting to violent demonstrations in Arizona over the enactment of tough immigration laws, the Senate yesterday placed a hold on deliberation of the climate “Cap and Trade” legislation. Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada is now considering legislation to overhaul immigration laws and to grant legal status to millions of long term immigrants unlawfully in the country in order to prevent a November election backlash by Hispanic voters. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina threatened to withhold his support of the climate bill if Senate Democratic leaders push ahead first with an immigration bill.

COMMENTS:

Oh, here we have another genuine “emergency” that just HAS to be handled immediately or there most certainly will be an “international calamity of magnanimous proportions.” Look for Reid, Pelosi and Obama to now have an amnesty bill drafted and shoved through Congress by the end of next week. I believe that the whole failure of the Administration to come to grips with this matter before this time was deliberate; obviously, he expects to gain the vote of his newly enfranchised 12 million formerly illegal voters in the November elections.  His reaching out and appealing to Hispanic voters yesterday was no accident and explains to me why he was willing to “sacrifice” Democrats with the passage of the Health Care Bill; he planned all along to have 12 million additional votes in his pocket.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. What’s your opinion on Bill Ayers’ lawsuit against the University of Wyoming demanding the right to speak there? (Aggie ~ Logan, UT)
A. Every American has a guaranteed right to free speech, but that doesn’t mean I have any legal obligation to provide a venue for him. He can stand on the public sidewalk outside the campus and say anything he wants, as far as I’m concerned. Maybe he’d like to get his pal Obama to send in the National Guard and force students and faculty to attend? On the other hand, I’d love him to come clean in public about the true nature of his relationship with Obama.

Q. I understand Wal-Mart is in the middle of a big lawsuit? I haven’t heard anything about it. (Mike ~ Davis, CA)
A. Several women filed a suit against them in San Francisco in 2001 alleging discrimination against women in pay. It’s been bouncing around in Courts since, with Wal-Mart taking a beating in various decisions. Most recently, Wal-Mart was fighting Court decisions that lumped the lawsuits into a class-action trial and the 9th Circuit Appeals Court has ruled against Wal-Mart. I think the matter will now finally proceed to trial and, if the allegations are true, Wal-Mart deserves much more than a hand-spanking. The only instance where a woman should receive less pay than a man is if she is having a baby; if a man is having a baby, I feel he should get paid more.

Q. What is bullfighting? I just heard that some bullfighter got injured in Mexico. (Cindy ~ Tremonton, UT)
A. That’s when the President and Members of Congress go out into the stockyards and start throwing bull manure at each other; it usually happens at election time. It’s also an ancient art form where a toreador fights a bull that has usually been drugged or strapped with an irritating device. It’s a dangerous sport and, if the toreador wins, he gets the testicles of the bull after the bull is slaughtered. In this case, the bull didn’t want to oblige and tossed Spain’s top bullfighter into the air, thereby gorging him with its horns and seriously injuring him in a Mexican bull ring.
