	<description>Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of medical care is always restorative…or at least it should be. It is meant to treat the sick and restore them to health, at least as much as possible at our current stage of knowledge and development. A severed arm is reattached, if possible.

		<description><![CDATA[In a welcome victory for civil liberties, the United States Supreme Court today unanimously ruled that using a GPS tracking device to monitor a suspect&#8217;s vehicle without a warrant is unconstitutional. The ruling in United States v. Jones (10-1259) makes it clear that this kind of warrantless tracking violates 4th Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

John McCain (R-AZ) was pretty much settled; Bush was going to be the nominee. Likewise in 2008, the three-way primary race between McCain, former-Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), and former-Gov.
