Relations with many of our oldest friends are, quite frankly, scraping the bottom right now,

They have squandered about every opportunity to get it right. The bottom line is they are significantly lowering expectations.

I believe the federal government should stamp out discrimination wherever — wherever — it occurs, ... If I look only at what you've said and written ... I would have to vote no. You dismissed the constitutional protection of privacy as 'a so-called right.' ... You dismissed gender discrimination as ... a 'perceived problem.'

In the constitution, nowhere does it mention sex discrimination, child labour, segregation. It doesn't mention it,

so much bigger than Karl Rove.

We are rolling the dice with you.
