Perfect timing

Bill Frist has been indicted for insider trading. Bush puppeteer Karl Rove is possibly going to be indicted in the Valerie Plame case. Tom DeLay has already been indicted on a few accounts for messing with campaign laws in Texas. With all these scandals occuring over such a short period of time, it only makes sense for Republicans to not move for cleaning up their parties image, but rather make things harder for whistleblowers.

Stephen M. Kohn, a leader with the National Whistleblower Center, said that a victory for the government would mean "whistleblowers who expose waste, fraud and corruption will have less constitutional protection than Ku Klux Klan members who burn crosses on their front lawns." While mysweetbeard agrees with Kohn, we don't want anyone to secretly point us in the direction of waste.

If certain people in the Supreme Court get their way, your first amendment right will be restricted in favor of catering to corrupted businesses who are a harm to the public. God bless America.
