Apparently you don't read much, do you Sawz??? One thing fir sure is that you don't listen to NPR where I've heard two different people talkin' about the Chicago gun case in the last two or three weeks... Just becauase no one here agrees doesn't mean that there isn't a conflict... Just let the case play out... I'm sure the opinions will be very interesting...

BTW, there are things that come to pass that I know about before other folks here in Mudville are aware of them... I'm not sure how that happens but it seems to happen now and then and then folks kinda catch up... Maybe it's because I am a news-hound and read alot of stuff and listen to alot of stuff... I donno...

And maybe, at least with this case, it involves stuff that isn't part of the dung-de-joir that the parties give their followers to lob at the other guys.... This case is kinda "not that"... It one of those "federalism v. states rights" kinda things that tend to trip up even the most fierce partisans...
