CNN's Cafferty and Dobbs
I personally would love to see a two hour segment with just Cafferty and Dobbs. Probably the only two on TV with the balls to tell it like it is. Wolf should just go home and stay there.

2. I doubt you'll ever see THAT, but Jack's first question is on this
very subject. Something like what does it mean for Prez Shrub to be told the NSA program is unconstitutional?

I answered it, and I hope a lot of other DUers did as well.

I'm anxious to hear the emails Jack reads on this one!

Lou is also going to be discussing this topic, so fasten your seatbelt and pay attention.

3. I'd love to see those two guys do CNN's American Morning...
instead of the O'Brien twins.

But most people don't want to watch a couple of old codgers :shrug:

5. old codgers?
Careful how you use that term. I'm older than either one of them. I'm actually to the age where I'm considered an old fart, not just a codger.

7. Hee hee. Sorry!!
Age is certainly relative. What's old to me is young to someone else.

6. I like everything about Dobbs except is phobia of immigrants.
Just yesterday he kinda pissed me off. They did a segment describing a town in one of the Carolinas that had decided to make a law that would fine landlords $1000/day if they knowingly rented to illegal immigrants. Well, the ACLU obviously challenged the constitutionality of it, stating that landlords are not qualified to deduce if someone is legal or not; so the law would undoubtedly cause discrimination against people who MIGHT be illegal (look foreign, bad english, etc.). So Dobbs attacks the ACLU about this and says that the ACLU should focus instead on suing the government for NOT enforcing border security. HELLO LOU??? It IS being enforced, just not to the extent that you would like it. There is NOTHING unconstitutional about that, thus there is nothing the ACLU would do about it.
:rant:

9. First of all, the town was in Pennsylvania, not NC!
Second, the current law is NOT being enforced! Since 1986, it's been illegal for an employer to knowingly hire an illegal alien. They have for file a Form I9 for every employee hired. When deposits are made to a SS number that is either non-existent, or belongs to a dead person, the SS admin sends a letter to the employer notifying they of a problem.

There aren't enough agents to to personally follow-up on every false SS #, and when this law was first passed, and the authorities began arresting the offending employers, the BIG BOYS contacted their Congressmen and said HAT< you're hurting our business! Well, guess what? Congress contacted the Justice Dept and sid BACK OFF!

I firmly believe we don't need ANY NEW LAEWS at all! We just have to enforce the existing ones and all will work our just fine!

10. Wow, nitpicky are we?
I said somewhere in the carolinas and I was wrong; wherever it was, it doesn't matter.

If only one employer in America has been fined for hiring an illegal alien, then, yes infact, the law IS being inforced, just not well. I have no argument against expanding the enforcement of current employment laws. However, not hiring enough agents to enforce a law is not unconstitutional and has absolutely nothing to do with what the ACLU fights for. That was my point: that he attacked the ACLU like a moron over something completely unrelated to their agenda. It would be like criticizing a police officer for not lowering taxes!
