what's interesting about that is that my state's constitution, ratified by Congress, declares this to be a bi-lingual state, from what I understand.

There is something in the language of the bill that I guess says that other laws are not superseded by it, that the two can work together. However there is a clear bias at work.

What I find interesting is that here we see the Bush Administration's approach, full steam ahead, so to speak, without regard for public opinion or even a sense of propriety. As if they do not care that their actions will seem small-minded or backward. It's curious, for a party so concerned with image vs. reality, to completely ignore the effect of their actions; or is it?

I think that they are only concerned within the contexts that effect their goals. they consider themselves an empire, creating their own reality (in the words of a top WH staff member). alos, this is an issue that gets middle America on their feet supporting them, which they desperately need right now.

I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED to find bigotry and pandering going on! What's next? A society built to maintain class structure rather than help the poor?

Ridiculous!
