The arrest of District of Columbia officials for the simple act of non-violently protesting proposed federal cuts is unprecedented in my memory. Seeing the mayor and council member in handcuffs was an image which brought me emotions of shock and outrage.
Imagine the picture presented to the world -- one of the mayor of the capitol city being arrested and taken to a processing facility for accused criminals. Yet in this very act, the officials brought to public attention not only the unjust nature of all these various cuts, but the undemocratic way they were agreed to behind closed doors. Still, Congress will have its say. To this extent -- thankfully -- the Constitution still lives.
