One nation under god where same morality must apply to all

From the NY Times of 5 Jun 2007:
Quote:
F.C.C. Rebuffed by Court on Indecency Fines
If President Bush and Vice President Cheney can use vulgar language, then the government cannot punish others for doing the same thing on television.

That, in essence, was the decision today when a federal appeals court struck down the government policy of fining stations and networks that broadcast programs with profanity.

The decision, by a divided panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York, was a sharp rebuke for the Federal Communications Commission and for the Bush administration. It was a major victory in a legal battle being waged by the four television networks - Fox, CBS, NBC and ABC - that had filed the case.
Those [expletive deleted] liberal judges.

For those not familiar with "expletive deleted", it was made famous by president that used vulgar language repeatedly and rountinely - and was beloved by moral, right wing, extremist conservatives.

May the morality wars begin in the glory of god and the Spanish Inquisition.
