"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"
-- Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 1803

Longtime readers of this blog will remember all the to-do involving Rachel Corrie, a young, idealistic, left-wing, America-hating supporter of terrorists who went to Gaza to “protect” Palestinians from the evil, bloodthirsty Jews.  Here’s how one post described the scene.

A peace activist with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), Corrie knelt in the path of the Israeli machine to prevent it demolishing a house near the Egyptian border in the southern Gaza Strip. She had got away with this tactic on other occasions, but this time the bulldozer didn’t stop. She struggled to climb the mountain of earth it was pushing in front of its blade, but as the machine got higher she slipped and was buried. The driver slowly advanced and ran her over twice.

‘A regrettable accident,’ said the Israeli army; a war crime, claims the ISM.

And lest anyone be tempted to buy this “peace activist” bullshit, here’s America’s sweetheart teaching young Palestinian children the proper way to burn the American flag.  Such a charming young lady, Hamas even named her a “blessed martyr.” At any rate, there’s been a new development in the case.  Her parents have filed a lawsuit.  Against who, you might ask.  Against the Israeli government?  Against the driver?  No my friends, they’ve filed suit against Caterpillar.

The parents of a 23-year-old activist killed while trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home is suing Caterpillar Inc., the company that made the bulldozer that ran over her.

The federal lawsuit, which lawyers said would be filed here Tuesday, alleges that Caterpillar violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to Israeli Defense Forces that it knew would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.

There was nothing inherently dangerous about this particular bulldozer.  All dozers are equally deadly when you lay down in front of one.  In fact, it’s quite fair to say that the blame for Corrie’s death rests entirely with Corrie herself.

“The brutal death of my daughter should never have happened,” Corrie’s mother, Cindy Corrie, said in a statement released by the Center for Constitutional Rights, a law firm handling the case. “We believe Caterpillar and the (Israeli Defense Forces) must be held accountable for their role in the attack.”

The brutal suicide bombing that prompted the house’s destruction should never have happened.  Your worthless daughter should never have been in Gaza in the first place, and she sure as hell had no business throwing herself in front of a bulldozer.  Also be sure and check out this picture of a bunch of crying, whining faggot “peace activists” (i.e. terrorist supporters) holding up pictures of Rachel.

Fuck them, fuck them all.  They’re as much vermin to me as al Qaeda.  The world is a better place without Rachel Corrie in it.  My only wish is that these vile scumbags would all lay down in front of bulldozers, so that the world will never be polluted with their hateful spawn.
