Unequal Treatment Under The Law - Bush Brand

As we posted here before the dimwit's SOTU address had even started, Cindy Sheehan was forcibly removed, officially arrested, then detained for hours for "causing a disruption". And just what was that oh so terrible disruption? She was wearing a T-shirt that read "2,245 Dead — How Many More??". She had uttered not a word out loud let alone disrupted the proceedings by being loud or obnoxios. I would like you, my friends, to imagine this please. A lady not being loud or disruptive, not creating a scene of any kind, is forcibly removed from her seat in the peoples' house handcuffed and forced out and into a cop car, taken to police headquarters and held for hours. Now let's just see how UNequal treatment under the law takes place in the current nitwits' brand of treatment under the law. Courtesy of BradBlog, we now come to find out that Cindy was not the only indivual removed from the Capitol last night. It seems that another woman was nicely and quietly asked to leave for wearing a T-shirt. The difference? This woman's shirt read "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom." But here is one other thing that shows the unequal justice practied at events with the nitwit from the Oval Office in attendance. Cindy was forcibly removed. Cindy was handcuffed. Cindy was hauled off to jail. Cindy was detained in a cell for hours. Now on to the treatment of the the second woman and why she was treated differently. Her shirt didn't remind us and George the dimwit what the death toll of the troops is. She wasn't forcibly removed from her seat. She was't handcuffed. She wasn't placed under arrest. She wasn't held in a jail cell for hours. Now my friends, I hope you're sitting down. The biggest reason she was treated differently was she is the wife of Republican Congressman Bill Young who represents the 10th Congressional District of Florida and is serving his 16th term in the United States House of Representatives. Here is an excerpt of the post over at BradBlog Rep. Young reportedly decried, "Shame, shame," on the U.S. House Floor today for the treatment of his wife. His wife, who was not arrested as far as we know. While neither woman should have been arrested -- or even removed from the gallery (in our opinion) -- they were not treated equally. Whatever the "rules" are about such things in the U.S. Congress, they did not receive "equal treatment under the law". (A law, we might add, which would seem to be unconstitutional, according to this 1971 Supreme Court decision which ruled that wearing a "Fuck the Draft" T-shirt into a courthouse was Constitutionally protected free speech). I would urge you to read the entire post, it is very very enlightening. Also, I should state now (just heard on the Randi Rhodes Air America show) that the charges have been dropped against Cindy Sheehan. Hmmmmmmm I wonder if it was because the guys upstairs in the Prosecutors Office realized the unequality that went on during this event and figured that was the best way to calm down the uproar.
