When you were growing up did you every get into an argument with your parents and they responded to you by saying "don't make a federal case out of it?" Well somebody needs to say that to the Capitol Police!I agree with Representative McKinney when she asks if the 16 year-old pages in Congress can memorize all the faces and names of members of Congress, why can't the Capitol Police? Any just how secure is a member of Congress if the Capitol Police don't even know who they are?
If the Congresswoman were being abducted would their response be: 'Oh, it's just another Black woman having a fight with her boyfriend.' Would they even step in to intervene?
And how hard can it be to remember the women (in general) when they are only 15% of the total number -- and African American women (specifically) since there are only about a dozen or so in Congress?
And what about the Democrats in Congress, where is their support? They have run away from McKinney about as fast as they ran from Sen. Russ Feingold's call for a censure of George W. Bush.
Here is a suggestion for the Grand Jury ... in January 2005 Salon.com posted a list of 34 scandals from the first four years of George W. Bush's presidency -- why not take a look at some of those?
