Deeply flawed? LOL! http://levin.senate.gov/newsroom/release.cfm?id=305735

Good luck with that. Which reminds me that there is a movement in Berkeley for the Berkeley city council to censure John Yoo (the pieface teaches at Berkeley). Good luck with that.

I"m not defending GM's decisions in the 90s to forgo development into more fuel-efficient cars. One can hardly blame them since they were already in trouble as well as getting tax breaks and other government incentives to build SUVs. Not to mention the crazy demand for them fueled by, among other things, cheap gas. You could say they were seeking a "market-based solution" to their woes. But for Shelby and the other retards to freak out about union employees and pensions is so disingenuous. I don't recall all this uproar from the Repubs over crazy CEO salaries during the bailout a few months ago. Their arguments (from what I've seen) basically amount to "Unions=bad, Lower wages=good." By the way, did you see Glenn Greenwald on Bill Moyers's show Journal? He was particularly hot when responding to calls that Barry not prosecute current and former DOJ officials (among others) for breaking laws against warrantless wiretapping and torture since that would be "partisan" and "rancorous" and such individuals have already suffered the loss of reputation and might be unable to obtain future government sinecures. They should tell Tyrone the crackhead and Cletus the hillbilly heroin addict that they won't imprison them because they've already suffered enough by being arrested and having everyone know about their crimes.
