No, never a waste of my time to argue important issues of the day, no matter what the forum, as long as it is done with intellectual honesty and as long as it makes you stop and think.

But reading your post was a waste of my time, you're right.

Brock,

I know you're capable of behaving like an adult in these conversations. So why do you persist in belittling people? Is it fun to you?

:lol: Good one.

For all you sports fans out there, the word is fractious, not "fractitious".

What a dumb ass. "Fractitious"? Sounds like a slurpee flavor. Sheesh.

Judge rules Capitol Hill raid was legal
House lawyers charged FBI search violated separation of powers

Monday, July 10, 2006; Posted: 4:38 p.m. EDT (20:38 GMT)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An FBI raid on a Louisiana congressman's Capitol Hill office was legal, a federal judge ruled Monday.

Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan said members of Congress are not above the law. He rejected requests from lawmakers and Democratic Rep. William Jefferson to return material seized by the FBI in a May 20-21 search of Jefferson's office.

In a 28-page opinion, Hogan dismissed arguments that the first-ever raid on a congressman's office violated the Constitution's protections against intimidation of elected officials.
