Muslim Woman Sues to Wear Veil for License

This woman's claim that she should be allowed to practice her religion freely is correct. However, public safety must take precedence over her religious freedoms, in this instance. Besides, what good is a driver's license, a common form of identification, when you cannot identify the person in the photo?
Yes, I realize that the state may be overreacting after 11 September, but I strongly suggest she allow her face to be photographed for her license because that will be less painful to her and her family than her being held in jail for an extended period of time while someone tries to clear her of any terrorist-related activities. Think, woman...think!

Search for Texas Democrats Sparks Probes

I understand that situations like this often end with charges and counter-charges on both sides, but there is one thing that needs to remain clear: the Texas Democrats are the ones who were essentially committing dereliction of duty, from a democratic point of view. They are the ones who ran away; they are the ones who stopped the whole process upon which our government in founded!
