The said Constitution shall be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms.

Daft about the Draft

- Deputy national security adviser Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute should have been told to avoid using the word “draft” in any manner. It was bad enough when Charles Rangel (a Democrat) was calling for the draft. But for a Bush appointee to even mention it was stupid, stupid, stupid.

Now, not every flag officer I’ve ever met was a genius, but most are pretty smart and you can’t get to that rank without a sense of political nuance. So what the hell was Lute thinking? And will it serve as an opportunity for every presidential candidate to say, "I oppose the draft"?
