While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan and the Philippines defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” the supreme court hands down Department of Housing and Urban Development v. Rucker, reaffirming the doctrine of michigan v. Bennis (innocence is not a defense): the Federal government has the right to evict tenants from its own housing projects—which it has not constitutional authority to operate—for drug use. This authority extends even to those whose guests might surreptitiously hide drug paraphernalia in the apartment, or family members who are arrested for drug offenses away from the premises.

      NOTE: Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto senator Edward Kennedy, Esq., of the commonwealth of massachusetts; Republican (fascist/socialist) senator Richard Lugar, of indiana; Republican senator Richard Shelby, of the confederate state of alabama; and CONgressmen, Republican Dan Burton,  of indiana; Republican Spencer Bachus, of the confederate state of alabama; Democratic John Murtha, of the commonwealth of pennsylvania; Republican Randy Cunningham, of the republic of california, and Democratic Maurice Hinchey, of new york are among members of CONgress who have had children arrested for drug offenses. Yet all [incumbent Rs and Ds] received special handling at the hands of prosecutors and preferential placement into best drug treatment programs.
