Two quick final thoughts: You are right. Boy, was I understating it. Those of us who were raised in California and in New York, a few other big cities, find words like arrogance, gall, the effrontery of it all. They are not strong enough. We must turn to Yiddish, one of the world's most powerfully expressive and emotional languages. The word with great accent ``chutzpah'' comes to mind, that they would ask us, without even being consulted, let alone a fulsome debate, as President Bush and Dick Cheney gave us, that we should sign off on some feel-good thing from the other Chamber without being consulted about the air war that may be beginning any second over there of hostilities again affronting our Constitution. A final thought. I leave you now to go to the West Front, Ronald Reagan the first President ever sworn in out there, where bishops, cardinals of the Catholic Church, bishops of the Mormon Church, prolife ministers and pastors, great evangelical leaders and pro-life rabbis are gathering to ask the U.S. Senate, six hardened hearts, to turn around and support the overwhelming majority of the House and Senate to override Clinton's veto on partial birth infanticide of 80-percent- delivered babies held in the mother's birth canal under great distress to the mother, heck with the distress on the baby, because the abortionist is about to stab it in the back of its head and remove its brains by suction. I am going out there now to that.
