My first blog: I was reading up on the Supreme Court decision in City of Boerne v. Flores, and with interpretation, it says that Congress does not have the ability to set laws against racial profiling, whether by banning it, overturning the Supreme Court decisions in Whren or Terry, or setting a law against it and thus forcing the Supreme Court to overturn its ruling(s). The Morgan Powers, which allow Congress to set laws that remedy or prevent unconstitutional actions based on the 14th amendment, section five, don't allow it to decide what actions are unconstitutional. Since racial profiling was legitimized by the Supreme Court's decision in Whren, technically racial profiling is legal and constitutional, and so Congress has no jurisdiction over it.

On a different note: I received the world's cutest teddy bear as a present on Valentine's Day and have been in a quandry as to what to name it. The various suggestions are: Payom, something involving a 'P', David, Freshie, Mr. Bear, Homie G, Homie Bear, Java Chip, and Huggies the Bear. Your vote, madames et messieurs?
