It appears that Blanche Lincoln, like her Republican buddies, thinks terrorists are super villains with evil, magical powers.
More Democratic senators could sign onto a bill to bar funding for terror trials in the U.S. homeland, Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) said Wednesday.
Lincoln, who along with Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.), has joined with Republicans to support a bill barring terror trials, hinted at potentially growing bipartisan consensus for the measure.
“I think there’s others who are probably looking at it,” Lincoln said during an appearance on Fox News when asked if other Democrats could sign on.
Of course she’s on Fox News.
And why does Blanche think we’re incapable (unlike Great Britain, Spain, Israel, etc., etc.) of trying terrorists in the United States?
Lincoln explained her decision to join with Republicans as showing deference toward her constituents in Arkansas, where she faces a tough reelection battle from Rep. John Boozman (R) and other Republicans this fall.
“You will definitely find from me that I listen to the people of Arkansas, their concerns, and then make a judgment on what’s right,” she said. “And I think they’re right on this.”
Ah.
Well, since a clear majority of Arkansans favor the public option, I guess this “listen to the people” thing is pretty selective.
