The Dems are seeking to use the courts to go after the GOP. I opposed this when the GOP did the same thing to Clinton, and I oppose it in this case as well. If we want to have a country, we can't permit elected officials to attack each other through the courts. I provide more detail on my views on this subject in this previous post.
As noted here previously, the planned ground zero museum, which was to have been known as the International Freedom Center, had been seen by many as an attack on America. Now, it has been evicted:
Following months of acrimony, Gov. George Pataki evicted the International Freedom Center from the memorial block at Ground Zero Wednesday, saying it had generated "too much controversy."
Pataki said that "freedom should unify us," but the proposed center had not, with some victims' relatives and political leaders charging its location was inappropriate, and its programing not focused sufficiently on 9/11.
New York Mayor Bloomberg has not done himself credit in this instance:
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that while he understood the governor's decision, "I am disappointed that we were not able to find a way to reconcile the freedoms we hold so dear with the sanctity of the site."
However, former Mayor Giuliani supports Pataki:
Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said in a statement: "The governor has made the right decision."
Governor Pataki deserves great credit for this.
