San Fransico's request, and ICE's reaction, is just another indicator of how far down the "Trail to Irrelevancey" the US has gone.
Mark Stein, filling in for Rush Limbaugh today, had an interesting rant about the 911 memorial/building at Ground Zero. It was his contention that the American people were responsible for the lack of construction at Ground Zero. Our acceptence of all the bureacratic and PC bullshit that has stopped ANY reconstruction or memorial at Ground Zero has lead to the potential constuction of a mosque at ground zero. The Islamist aren't backing down, and it looks like we're just going to accept it. Like an old dog, America will growl, as we back down and slink away. He said the open pit at Gruond Zero WAS the memorial that the American people deserved. And after thinking about what he said, I'm afraid I have to agree.
wonder if a state can opt out of Emancipation Proclamation?
That only applied to the Confederate States of America.
