Your logic is flawed by one obvious fact. Clinton's summer gas tax holiday plan calls for a windfall profits tax to counteract the reduced tax. Does anyone seriously think that the current administration would not veto such a tax or that the current Congress would override said veto? I used to be a Clinton supporter, but I really am getting fed up with her pandering.
If the accounting of this case were not so scary, it would remind me of an implausible Keystone Cops script. But as an I.T. Professional, I find the description on page 3 of the DOJ goofballs trying to clean a hard disk to be utterly unbelievable. It makes me pray the government has more reliable procedures for destroying electronic data that could be of some actual security risk.
I am asking this not to make an argument, but to better understand the positions of the Catholic Church. I understand the official position is against both abortion and capital punishment. Are both positions of equal weight, or are there differences? I ask, because I have heard some Catholics say that President Obama should not speak at Notre Dame because he supports abortion rights. But I have not heard the same opposition to appearances of people who support capital punishment. Is this inconsistent, or is there a difference in the official positions on the two issues?
