I know most of you guys swing to the right and a few swing to the left and some of us suck at swinging and are in the middle. But I saw this the other day and it caught my eye. You can also look it up at ABC and they have the story. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/15/defence-contractors-rape-claim-block . I do know that i will not be voting for Mike Johanns when he is up again because he was one of the thirty that voted against it. t give you the low down Jamie Leigh Jones was a twenty year old girl who decided to put her life in danger and be a civilian contractor over in Iraq. In her first few days there she was drugged, gang raped and locked in a storage container. She was locked in it so she couldn't tell anybody. She tried to sue the company and couldn't be cause of the fine print (can anybody else think of a company that had small print problems and people wanted legal action from the government recently. TC) She had her case taken up by Al Franken. it came up for voting in the Senate Luckily it got passed, but 30 republicans voted against it. I guess Republicans do support gang rape Here is a list of the Republicans who voted to protect a corporation over a victim of rape:
Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Bond (R-MO)
Brownback (R-KS)
Bunning (R-KY)

Civil suites go to arbitration not criminal charges. Criminal charges are settled in a court of law by an appointed judge or a body of the defendents peers. To stand in the way of due process is obstruction of justice! And furthermore, the law of the land supercedes any agreed upon contract. If the contract does not follow the law, then is null and void.
there is nothing political about this at all, and there are no things that the media left out that may have caused them to vote against it.
i never make it a point to to make such serious accusations without getting all of the facts.
i still think there are issues here. I dont know the facts that are not reported in this story. i do want to learn more. ill have to do some reading.
hmmm would this mean that some democrats were in favor of murder?
or was there something more to that story too?
that one is true...
at least to a good percentage.
Yeah. That's all anyone was trying to say but we couldn't quite find the words for it. Glad you could clear that up for us.
from Wikipedia:
On May 16, 2007, Jones filed a civil lawsuit against KBR and former parent corporation Halliburton, and Charles Boartz (a "person of interest" in the case).[2] KBR requested a private arbitration, and claims this is required by her employment contract. On September 15, 2009 the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled Jamie Leigh Jones' federal lawsuit against KBR and several affiliates can be tried in open court.[17]
from the same article:
Jones testified before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on October 7, 2009, concerning Senator Al Franken's amendment to the FY 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill,
Im sure Mr. Franken's amendment has an agenda that these Senators object to, and it seems that with or without it, Ms. Jones will get her day in court.
but something close to it. i dont have time now. i gotta get stuff done on my only day off this week.
been way to busy lately.
By this logic I support school shootings because I am against gun control.
