It is my personal believe that the government must protect the individual and the individual's rights from corporations, bad government and bad laws.
The current Right-wing GOP leadership uses the government and laws against the individuals to protect the corporations and businesses. The Bush Administration currently is thinking about using good laws against "We the People" again. There is not a good law that they can not use for evil.

"U.S. accuses SIU of anti-white bias" BY DAVE NEWBART, DAVE MCKINNEY AND CAROL MARIN Staff Reporters.
President Bush's administration has threatened to sue Southern Illinois University, alleging its fellowship programs for minority and female students violate federal civil rights laws by discriminating against whites, men and others.
In a move Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said "just doesn't make sense," the U.S. Justice Department charged that three SIU programs that aim to increase minority enrollment in graduate school exclude whites, other minorities and males, in violation of Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act.
"The University has engaged in a pattern or practice of intentional discrimination against whites, non-preferred minorities and males,'' says a Justice Department letter sent to the university last week and obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The letter demands the university cease the fellowship programs, or the department's civil rights division will sue SIU by Nov. 18.

It is my personal believe that the government must protect the individual and the individual's rights from corporations, bad government and bad laws.
The current Right-wing GOP leadership uses the government and laws against the individuals to protect the corporations and businesses. When lawyers are hired not to protect the corporations and keep it within the law, but rather to know the laws and how to break them without getting caught, then we loose honesty and ethics. Why executives are not going to prison for destroying people's lives? People loose their savings and the corporate executives get to keep their huge bonus, their huge homes, and all their goodies. The executives get their pensions while the workers loose most or all of theirs. Laws are passed to protect the rich and the corporations, while Individuals are prosecuted. Republicans support large defense budgets yet National Security and large national defense budgets are not the same.
