It Sounded Better In The Original German
The ABC reported on a recent decision of Israel’s highest court: Israeli court upholds controversial marriage law
But the court has ruled that human rights cannot override Israel’s security concerns, with one judge writing that: “Human rights are not a prescription for national suicide.”
So they believe that The State is more important than mere people. The State apparently has the right to do whatever it wants to people as long as it claims to be for ‘security reasons’.
There is more than a little Roger Taney in these comments. It leaves unanswered the question of why people would belong to a state that had no regard for their rights?

Get Your Program
You can’t tell the players without a program, so get your Super PACs program from the people at Open Secrets.
You need to know who ‘Restore Our Future’ is shilling for when they run their ads [Romney] and not confuse them with ‘Winning Our Future’ [Gingrinch].
There is no need to discuss the logic of the names, because there is none. The future is what happens – it can neither be ‘restored’ nor ‘won’; it just happens. I would note that it happens to be rather bleak at the moment, but nothing any of the Presidential candidates is talking about doing is going to change that. [Note that I am including Zero in that assessment.]
You can consider the situation in Europe as a preview of the US future under the Austerians.
