We're U.S. News

John Leo, a contributing editor with U.S. News and World Report, gives To the People** some love in a U.S. News blog post on pregnancy and smoking:

State Rep. Bob Mathis of Arkansas, who is pushing consideration of the ban, wonders if the fetus has a constitutional right to be smoke free. This was too much for Baylen Linnekin, who blogs at tothepeople.com. Linnekin wrote: "The word 'constitutional' is not a synonym for 'the right thing to do' or 'good for the people,' Bob. It refers, Bob, to the text of the U.S. Constitution, which happens to be an actual document."

$4.95, Bob, is all it takes to carry this document with you -- in handy fashion -- everywhere you go.
