Another blatant attack on the US Government, this time coming from within it's own boundaries. This time in New York, where senator Hiram Monserrate(D) is trying to be expelled from the senate after being accused of felony assault charges. The biggest issue I have with this article is that it doesn't poke at the obvious, the fact that an American senator is being accused with a felony assault charge for apparently leaving a large gash in the face of a woman.
I understand that the New York State Senate is wrong to go against the Constitution and expel a senator but what's even more wrong to me, as an American, is that a man like Monserrate is still a senator. How is it that we don't have laws stating that any senator charged with a felony is under suspension from his senator position? Don't we have hundreds of lawmakers to help protect our legal system against people like Monserrate?
The part that gets me is Monserrate's lawyer calling the New York State Senators "unconstitutional" when his client is running rampant around New York cutting women's faces and blackmailing senators about his political allegiance. I'm sorry but that type of criminal activity should result in more than the "expulsion" being threatened against Monserrate.

On to a lighter subject now, health care. The Republicans, who have been scoffing about anything Obama has come up with are finally set to unveil their "solution" to health care. Finally! After complaining for long enough about how bad Obama's plan was it's good to see them actually taking a step in the right direction and offer ideas. Now call me crazy but hopefully the Democrats and Republicans can review each other plans and work something out that really makes a difference.
