IIRC, Federal law makes it a crime to disclose illegally obtained material. So if you tap your calls to your married lover to get him to admit killing his wife that gets thrown out in an all party state - except in Modesto CA.

Why is government better able than the free market (including the free market of getting donations to support private research like that done by MDA, St. Judes, etc.) There are a bunch of studies that show little correlation between government funding and the number of people with the disease, costs of care, impact on the economy, etc. Government health care bucks are every bit as much as a pork barrel as the transportation bill. Political in extreme and having nothing to do with what ought to be done. |
