Ever wish you were the interviewer?

Nancy Pelosi, a supposed 'Catholic' who flagrantly disregards Church teachings, has said in a year-end interview that she thinks "women should have that opportunity to exercise their free will" to have abortions as well as making other erroneous and ridiculous statements. Hearing this, wouldn't you just love to be the interviewer? Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear Pelosi be asked if she'd also support, say, the "free will" of a person who wanted to kill high-ranking legislators? Or the "free will" of someone who no longer wanted to pay taxes? Wouldn't you love to hear her try to explain how she could feel safe to even walk out her door in a world where everyone was free to exercise their "free will" without limit?

Further, wouldn't it be interesting to ask her point-blank to explain how she can, in actuality, be a "practicing Catholic" since she rejects Church authority and promotes a mortal sin (abortion) which automatically excommunicates one from the Church?

Wouldn't it also be great to press her for specific details about how she "practically mourn[s] this difference of opinion" she has with the Church? What, does she cry? Say prayers? Don black? How exactly does she "practically mourn"? Please, give details. Further, while on the topic of mourning, does she also mourn the death of the innocent victims of abortion who are (painfully) killed in their mothers' wombs? Does she care about them at all or about their "free will"?

And, regarding her "thanking God" that the Senate healthcare bill funds abortions, wouldn't you relish the opportunity to question her about how God - the author of the Fifth Commandment - might feel about being thanked for the Senate's publicly funding the murder of persons He created and fashioned in His image and likeness? Or about how the "free will" of abortion-minded women must be respected, but not the "free will" of persons who don't want to pay for others' abortions?

Wouldn't it be great if the interviewer wouldn't let her off with evasive answers to these questions - but kept the cameras rolling and pressed her as often as it took for her to directly address each and every point, being certain to call her on every single one of her contradictions as well as her many errors of logic and of fact.

Of course we'll never see a "real interviewer" do this, so what about citizen interviews? It is the citizens, after all, who pay her salary and are due an accounting. She is, in effect, our employee. And, should Pelosi decline to be interviewed voluntarily, might she support an interviewer's "free will" to follow her around with a camera until all his questions were fully answered? Or, do you think some limits to others' "free will" may suddenly be found by Pelosi when the issue affects her - personally - in a negative way? Too bad the unborn babies aren't likely to be the subject of those limits to "free will" that Pelosi may suddenly discover. But then again, it's only their lives on the line for the unborn babies, not the terrible annoyance of being followed around by a camera.
