Truth to Power

Just to prove my point

Pennsylvania governor sues Pentagon over base cuts

Mon Jul 11, 6:39 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Pennsylvania’s governor and two U.S. senators sued the Pentagon on Monday to prevent deactivation of a Pennsylvania Air National Guard unit in a bid to save a military base from closure.

In what is being viewed as the first lawsuit of its kind, Gov. Ed Rendell, joined by Pennsylvania’s Republican Sens. Arlen Specter and Rick Santorum, is invoking the “militia clause” of the U.S. Constitution to prevent de-activation of the national guard’s 111th Fighter Wing at the Willow Grove Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base.</i>

Ok, let us try and follow this- our government is essentially suing itself to stop itself from doing something. This is madness.

Oh yeah, the people got the power, you bet.

Sheesh. We don’t even enter into the equation.
