"“We are living in an era of extraordinary expansion of executive authority….”
Arlen Specter
United States Senator (Republican Pennsylvania)
“[the Adminstration] asserted a broad doctrine of presidential “inherent authority” to ignore the laws passed by Congress when prosecuting the war on terror. In other words, the rule of law is suspended, and the President is above the law, for the uncertain and no doubt lengthy duration of the undefined war on terror”
Patrick Leahy
United States Senator (Democrat Vermont)
“If Congress doesn’t have the power to define the contours of the President’s Article II powers through legislation…//…If the President’s legal theory, which is shared by some of our witnesses today, is correct…//…Under this theory, we no longer have a constitutional system consisting of three co-equal branches of government, we have a monarchy”
Russ Feingold
United States Senator (Democrat Wisconsin)
“It is our duty as loyal Americans to shut up once the fighting begins. Once the war against Saddam begins,we expect every American to support our military, and if they can’t do that is to shut up”
Bill O’Reilly
There is a battle far from getting the attention it deserves considering the stakes – the rule and governing of the USA. - Antarcticn, on 02/28/2008, -0/+8Though I don't agree with all the author's assertions of how things were done, nor her liberal exercise of artistic license to editorialize politically, she arrives at the correct gross negative impact. We The Victimized People suffer under an imperial-lord monarch.
It has two heads, el busho + darth cheney, and lots of pus-filled pimple heads surrounding them as unjust, lawless "legal beagles". bush-darth's professional LIARS/lawyers spin, stretch, re-interpret, contort, mutilate and always murder the intent of just law. All the while stealing and hoarding power unto the presidency.
This power-craven coup happened and is happening in black murkiness of today's unjust "legal system" which tossed out righteousness & justice long ago and ran over it as so much left-for-dead roadkill. True-Patriot Americans find the coup difficult to follow. Too much legalese. Meanwhile, el presidente and it casa blanca morph into "the Imperious Leader" of the Dark Side of the Force.
el busho runs the USA as though it's in quasi Martial Law. Police State thuggery & brutality escalates weekly; victims beaten in that city jail, handcuffed women strip searched and/or beaten bloody in that county jail, invalids tossed out of wheelchairs or yanked out of the driver's seat of their handicapped vehicle, SWAT teams busting through family front doors to abduct a child after terrorizing the family, everyone gets their butts tasered for no reason -- and several die from it, teens threatened by out-of-control pig with an extreme bad attitude and steriod-like power trip, and cops all over America deliberately trained to scornfully treat "civilians" like dirt. But all atrocities are forgiven under the Dept of Homeland Insecurity big stick whipping on Americans.
And el busho tries to force a super-sized spy "law" -the misnamed PROTECT America Act- which would give busho and its mafia dons & donettes retroactive immunity from crimes they've been committing since Day 1.
The USA is sick. Too much Pure Evil infest our Constitution system. Time to clean house and rid it of lawbreaking vermin. No mercy. - markadamsjdmba, on 02/29/2008, -0/+8Without the rule of law, there is tyranny and oppression.
