		<description><![CDATA[Another sign of how dysfunctional America has become&#8230;Goodwin Liu is an exceptionally qualified person to be a judge, yet he is coming under fire for being prejudiced, amazingly!

		<title>Constitution Has Always Applied to Foreigners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Glenn Greenwald does an excellent job dispelling this terrible myth going around that non-Americans don&#8217;t get any rights here in America.
First, the U.S. Supreme Court, in 2008, issued a highly publicized opinion, in Boumediene v. Bush, which, by itself, makes clear how false is the claim that the Constitution applies only to Americans.  The [...]]]></description>
