IF COURT IS RIGHT, THEN LET'S EVICT BUSHES NOW

In "Drug evictions get nod from high court" (News, March 27) we read,
"In a closely watched case out of Oakland, Calif., the U.S. Supreme
Court upheld regulations that allow federal housing officials to evict
an entire household if even one member -- or a guest -- is arrested
for a drug violation."

Should President George W. Bush and Gov. Jeb Bush and their entire
households be evicted from their public housing (the White House and
the Florida governor's mansion)?

Let's see. Both are public housing tenants. President Bush had two
members of his household, his daughters, caught using illegal drugs
(alcohol). Gov. Bush had one member of his household, his daughter,
caught trying to obtain a drug illegally (Xanax).

How do we get these two tenants of public housing and their entire
households evicted because members of their household were arrested
for a drug violation?
