However, I would like to address some of the issues talked about during this debate, and one of the issues that is a discussion of where we are with regard to other countries, it was suggested earlier, and we heard it in the last person's speech, that somehow we are doing as the Soviet Union has done in the past by limiting the ability for individuals to go before the court. Well, the fact is that there was a mechanism in the Soviet Union very similar to the mechanism we have in this country, and it was referred to as the Politburo, and the Politburo was a very small entity of individuals that made policy for the hundreds of millions of individual citizens of the Soviet Union. We have that today in this country. We refer to it as the United States Supreme Court. As few as five people in black robes can look at a particular issue and determine for the rest of us, insinuate for the rest of us, that they are speaking for the majority when, in fact, they are not.
