This goes to show that Constitutional Legislation should ALWAYS take precedence over party politics. The so-called conservatives do not always get it right and though the liberals, who do have it right this time, will still be watched closely.

UPDATE: That didn’t last long. Under pressure fom the Mexican Govt, Obama backs down and will now ask/pressure(here come the ACORN commies) Congress to re-consider. Like I have said before, we have someone in the whitehouse who does not like us and I for one, want to know WHY? I want to know exactly what country and who’s government this guy really represents because it certainly is not ours!!!
