I heard yesterday that someone in the House of Representatives proposed an amendment to the new crime bill which was soundly defeated it. Turns out the Amendment was worded exactly as the Fourht Amendment in the Bill 'o Rights. Apparently many a congressman/woman has egg on their face...
Yes indeed, in response to the H666 bill. The Dems placed up for vote the text of the 4th Amendment without attributing it to be such. It was defeated. Dems then immediately took to the floor of the House accusing the Repubs of tryingto dismantle the Constitution.
so is there a list of names of the people who voted against it? I use the term "people" very loosely. actually though, both the democrats and the republicans consider parts of the constitution to be obsolete. they just differ amongst themselves as to which part. I wish someone would find the elixir of youth and feed it to barry goldwater. josh
