For the church to say that abortion is not acceptable for a Catholic is fine. To say directly or indirectly that on something that is a church teaching that you must also vote according to that - that's not acceptable in a country based on the First Amendment.

The FBI wanted us to introduce the 1994 Digital Telephony bill today and I said absolutely not. They have to understand they have a Vermonter as the Chairman Of the Technology and Law committee and that we Vermonters respect our privacy.

Of course no president, Democratic or Republican - no president - is above the law, as neither are you, nor I, nor anyone.

The American people deserve a Supreme Court justice who can demonstrate that he or she will not be beholden to the president, but only to the law.
