I never claimed every political conflict was for show. I said this one is. You don't sue in politics, you get enough people in the house and senate on your side and pass proper legislation. This lawsuit has no legal ground to stand on.
Oh yes, this is sure to work. Get a few legislators in a minority of states to sue the president's administration. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this!
This is a stunt, and a ridiculous one at that. Why not put energy into doing something real instad of wasting time like this? It won't even get people on the side of the activists...people who agree with the suit are already driving hybrids and eating out of their back garden, people who don't aren't going to even care.
Actually, you are the one failing to understand. Just because someone put "Christian" and "Conservative" on there doesn't mean that the decision is a whacked out, fundamentalist movement of some sort. There are a multitude of reasons to not have the.xxx extension put in, among which is the thought that it leads to a frightening grip on free speech and such.
The beginning of segregation of the web based on such a simple thing leads to easy control measures being placed to cease access to anything that the ones in control (college, ISP, etc.) deem necessary.
There are certainly upsides to the idea, but they are far outweighed by the downsides.

Maybe they meant 35 boullion. It'd make a lot more sense than 35 billion. Then again, maybe not.
