Remember, Alexander Hamilton did not believe that everyone should have the right to vote. Only propertied land owners were to be allowed voting rights. The right to vote was considered too important to allow anyone to vote.

Now, the current Democrats would allow illegal aliens to vote if possible. They have already changed the immigration laws to favor a minority groups.....this was passed under LBJ. (More Democratic voters to support their power base.)

Clinton asserts sealed privilege

By MICHAEL KIRKLAND

WASHINGTON, June 1 (UPI) - President Clinton is continuing to assert a mysterious claim of personal privilege in his battle with independent counsel Kenneth Starr.

In documents filed by his personal attorneys today, the president asked the Supreme Court to allow him to file his position on the unnamed privilege under seal.

The privilege asserted by the president personally is different from the claims of executive privilege and attorney-client privilege asserted by the White House and the office of the president institutionally.

The White House today told the Supreme Court it has dropped its appeal of a judge's ruling that executive privilege does not protect two presidential aides from testifying in the Monica Lewinsky investigation.

The White House is continuing its appeal of attorney-client privilege for at least one of the aides, deputy White House counsel Bruce Lindsey, and is opposing Starr's request that the Supreme Court rule quickly on that claim.

But Starr has also asked for expedited Supreme Court review and a quick decision on the mysterious third claim. The claim, other than a general reference to its existence, was entirely edited out of Starr's brief.

In asking that Clinton's opposition to quick review in the third matter be filed under seal, personal attorneys David Kendall and Robert Bennett said the dispute involves ''matters occurring before the grand jury.''

The lawyers said, ''Under these circumstances, and out of an abundance of caution, we believe this brief in opposition (to Starr's position on the third claim) must be submitted under seal in its entirety.''

The Supreme Court could rule later this week on the broad array of requests by Starr, the White House and the president.

So Clinton wants to subvert the Constitution, "under seal"*. I wonder if Dan Blather will even bother to report this amazing development.

*"Under seal" means "don't let the American people know what we're doing and claiming".

What is so odious that the WH dare not speak its name? Especially this WH.
