Waxman - To Hell With the First Amendment

This man is a dangerous idiot.

Meet Henry Waxman (D-CA), member of the House of Representatives from the 30th District of California (Beverly Hills, West Hollywood).

When the Democrats won control of the House in 2006, Waxman wormed his way into powerful committee leadership posts, with the considerable help of his mentor - Nancy Pelosi. He immediately started using his positions to attack the Bush administration, Republicans in general, and any form of conservatism he could reach out and punish.

Waxman's latest attack on the Constitution is this: His House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment is holding four days of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. His star witness today, to wrap up the session: Algore, the biggest eco-whore the world has ever known.

Republicans on the committee invited Lord Christopher Monckton, former science advisor to UK's Prime Minister, to appear beside Algore, to provide a balance in testimony. Lord Monckton has long been a critic of the scam science of global warming, and unlike Algore, has scientific credentials to back up his arguments. Lord Monckton has tried unsuccessfully several times to get Algore to debate him on the subject.

Upon learning that Lord Monckton was the Republican's witness, Waxman refused to allow him into the hearing, mush less testify.

“The Democrats have a lot to learn about the right of free speech under the US Constitution. Congress Henry Waxman's (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore's sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear.” - Lord Monckton, upon arriving at the Washington airport and being told of his being un-invited to appear by Waxman

Algore will be allowed to spew his crap freely before the committee and cameras, where Democrat members of the committee will swoon to his wisdom, mainstream media will treat him as an eco-god, and Republicans on the committee will be ruled out of order, out of time, and out of luck if they wish to pose a question.

Algore is a smart man. He knows that if he is put up one on one in a debate with anyone who is knowledgable about climate change, Algore will be shredded and exosed as the fraud he is. He will not allow himself to be trapped into that situation, and none of his far left kook buddies will allow it to happen either.

Once again, under Democrat control, Freedom of Speech is only applicable if what is being said is lockstep with what the left believes and wants to hear.
