It's not really a tough call to stand up for the Constitution...
Which is what Dodd was doing today. It's a winning position. The stronger you stand behind the Constitution, the more the voters will support you.

To be fair, Dodd has been speaking up for the Constitution before today. He has written about it also. That alone should make him a credible candidate. He should be rewarded for taking a stand. Maybe he will be?

It's such a "no-brainer", it's difficult to understand why the entire Democratic Party has not made their stand behind the Constitution? It's a winner. Basically, this is where Ron Paul gets most of his support. He uses the Constitution as his shield against the murderous, rampaging Republicans that preach torture as military strategy.

Bravo to Dodd! In Dodd we trust. :-)

1. Ron Paul also uses the Constitution as his shield against
homosexuals, minorities, and women.

3. So shall we assume Dodd has no threats hanging over his head?
Or is it simply that he's one a few remaining Dems willing to stand for what's right?

4. To look at the rest of the leadership
except a few you would think it WAS real hard to stand up to the constitution. I almost cried watching him today. That is my vision of a leader.

6. Apparently it's an impossibly tough call. Ask Pelosi
and a host of others.
