Virtue Bought Cheap

Alfred Fingulin adds this thought to the Saint Paul City Council's specious anti-Patriot Act resolution on Wednesday:

If the St Paul City Council really means it, then instruct the St Paul Police Department not to comply with law enforcement action requested under the Patriot Act. That would be a gutsy move.

It would involve the St. Paul DFL putting their chances of being re-elected where their mouths are.

It's very like the St. Paul DFL to take grandious but supercilious symbolic actions, but leave the beef out. It's not for nothing that Kathleen Soliah felt so at home here.
