How come the same liberals who damn the flag protection amendment as “tampering with the Bill of Rights” don’t object to a “civil rights” act that repeals the presumption of innocence by statute?
Since George Bush did his about-face on taxes he’s finding that his fellow Republicans are giving him more trouble than the Democrats. At a recent Republican National Committee meeting in Chicago, the President was spared embarrassment when participants tabled a resolution supporting his new position rather than subject it to debate. But that’s going to be hard to repeat when the House Republican Conference takes up a resolution by Representative Dick Armey (R., Tex.) putting his GOP colleagues in the House on record as opposing any tax increase to fight the deficit. The resolution has not been voted onaswegoto press, but it’s expected to pass—which will make it difficult for the President to come back to the House with any deal that includes a tax increase. Precisely the kind of help the White House needs these days.
