CODEPINK: Feinstein Constituent ARRESTED at Mukasey Hearing

On the day of the Mukasey Attorney General Confirmation vote in the Senate Judiciary committee, CODEPINK activists were continually harrassed by Capitol Police as they waited in line for a public hearing. Jes Richardson, a resident of San Francisco California, was arrested for exercising his first amendment right to Free Speech by shouting "Shame on you for supporting torture."

I don't like to go to Jury duty because, for one thing. People do act strange and it is certainly not pleasant to be listening to something or being involved that I have no business interfering. And also there are sessions that are being filmed on tv to show such violence that it is quite depressing. I rather hide in a crate than to be exposed in such demeaning manner.

Shame on you, shame on you!... LOL!

The libs think they're hurting our feelings w/ emotional cries of "THEIR" morality.

Frickin hilarious! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

There's plenty of room for protest. Standing up and disrupting a Senate hearing is not only inappropriate, but it also compromises that group.

[eekdog2005]

yeaaaa for free speech.

EXACTLY, it does work, and it can again.

I Serve in the police department now, as a cadet.

Even if it is a little job, i'm not necessarily saying combat, but some form of the government.

As i recall Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and many other countries use it to great effect. So who's to say it wouldn't work here?

Moronicus,

How many tours of duty have YOU served? I have a good friend who's been stop-lossed 3 times. Why don't you sign up to save this him another trip over?

I understannd perfectly what xeronicus is saying. I think to truly understand read the first few chapters of Star Ship Troopers. writen back in the 50's made into a crap movie. lol but the book touches heavly on the right of a citizen an a civilain an what it means to be one. frankly I belive in order to vote you must serve in some form of goverment. but i'm also happy with the demacrocy. :)

[4Peace4All]

Yes, it will!

[xeronicus]

First off, its XERONICUS,

second, yes, that IS a workable system, and up until 1829 thats how it was in america. Handicapped people can still have jobs in the gov't, and i fail to see how a 4 year old child could vote, as the min voter age is 18, which is the exact age a person is eligible for military service...and there is NO ONE in the nation who cannot serve in some way(and i don't mean by disgracing our soldiers and what they are doing and succeeding at either)besides, I hate freeloaders.

XERONICUS

Which is what i aim to do someday, to teach people how to use their minds to forward themselves, and society as a whole, in life.

Can I help you use your mind?

Here is a suggestion. Before you write a post, discuss it with someone who has an IQ over 80 to determine if your post and hence your ideas and suggestions are valid or ignorant.

P.S. Stating that no one is entitled to any rights unless they serve in the military is the thought process of a retard with an IQ of 50.
