I quote only the first paragraph:

WASHINGTON--In a pleasantly meandering conversation over lunch in San Francisco last summer, Condoleezza Rice, then still provost of Stanford but already unofficially what she now is officially, George W. Bush's senior foreign policy adviser, was asked her thoughts about gun control. "I am" she answered crisply, "a Second Amendment absolutist." Growing up in Birmingham, Ala., in the early 1960s, when racial tensions rose, there were, she said, occasions when the black community had to exercise its right to bear arms in self-defense, becoming, if you will, a well-regulated militia.


Bush's CCW law in Texas, Chaney, and now Condoleezza Rice. I am feel somewhat more comfortable.

As Gore begins to make known who will populate his cabinet, let's see what kind of support for the Bill of Rights is evidenced.

Al Gore has spent years dealing with the devil so to speak(who knows maybe he IS the devil, lol). Who does he have for friends that can match the sheer calibur of the people who Bush is surrounded by. Bush could damn near get elected based solely on the credentials of his following. Colin Powell, Stormin Norman, Dick Cheney, his father and his nephew, Elizabeth Dole, his former rivals, latino and black leaders, etc. He has a fully loaded pack of cards. I will be greatly amused watching Gore try to even get half a deck of his own.

The Bill of Rights is a document of brilliance, a document of wisdom, and it is the ultimate law, spoken or not, for the very concept of a society that holds liberty above the desire for ever greater power. -Me

Keep in mind that even George W. Bush's rivals repect him. As such he is probably the most respected statesman in the public forum today.
