It's not about them; it's about US!

From C&L:
McCain: Constitution shouldn't apply to brown US citizens
...
"Don't give this guy his Miranda rights until we find out what it's all about," McCain added.
Why don't Republicans recognize that the Bill of Rights isn't about the bad guys - it's about US! - It's OUR statement of what OUR legitimate government can and can't get away with.
It has nothing to do with the supposed badness of the accused, or the evil intent he harbored.
It has EVERYTHING to do with what we as citizens of an enlightened Republic expect of our government!

  1. He needs to be thrown out of the senate.

    But he won't be.

  2. Factoid: McCain's maternal grandfather was a gambler and bootlegger who created the family fortune in oil at a time and place where such fortunes were made by cheating Indians out of their allotments. In a wild and crazy boom town full of rascals McCain's grandfather stood out as a rascal.
