......how am i holding law in contempt when i argue that it should apply to all, equally?

Allowing Congress to usurp the job of the judiciary, by holding criminal proceedings, and dishing out punishments to those who aren't allowed legal protections available in court, doesn't strike me as what is meant by seperation of powers or due process...this would be the same Congress that talks about passing non-judicially reviewable statues.

Don't know why the worst case/slippery slope outcome of that sort of thing doesn't bother others, but it certainly bothers me.

actualy.. this is how it works.. there is a *REASON* why it is called Checks and Balances.

Both the Judicial and Legislative have to be in accord to boot someones ass out. Judical determines if the actions were legal or not. Then the Legislative try and impeach. However.. it is usaly the Legislative branch that brings up the issues first to the judicial branch for a review.

They both have to work together.

Civics 101 folks. They are working as they are ment to work. Legislative branch is there to be the voice of the people. it balances out the voice of the prez, and past or current prez elected yahoos in the supreme court. They are supposed to all balance each other. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers

Be warry when they ask for more executive powers... and they have the whole last 7 years.

Where to start? Well, I am glad to see you finally admitting you absolutely will not and do not think for yourself, and that you would would follow the orders of an illiterate alcoholic incompetent buffoon because by the virtue of cash and nepotism he bought..errr...fucking stole, the office of the presidency.   DA I have admittedly tried to see the rationale in some of your posts, you know, being a masochist and all, but for god's sake you can't really tell me you would drop the big one on NYC because Dubya told you to? If that monkey told me that my house was on fire and I could smell the smoke I would still wait for the fire dep't because if his mouth is moving, chances are he is lying.

Ok.. that just made me wet.... Damn.. I think I love you.

Ah, partisan bickering over which festering pile of feces is the more offensive smelling. Arguing over which candidate is better between the Democrats and Republicans is usually like arguing which side of a bridge it would be best to plummet over.

I would be a republican, if there were any.

I used to be a liberal, but I've grown more conservative with age.  I've swung over to the Republican party, but I cannot recognize it any more.

It used to abhor spending.  Now it has set records for spending, after Clinton managed the budget responsibly.

It used to believe in limited government.  Now it is expanding executive powers at a breakneck pace.

It used to be leery of foreign entanglements.  Now it has invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, and threatened North Korea and Iran.

Where did the party go?  I'd like to join it.

Hey Owner59 et at liberats:
How about the Pentagon recently revealing that it just finished transferring almost 600 Metric Tons of "yellowcake" from Iraq to Canada?  You do know what "yellowcake" is, don't you?  That's the stuff that's used to fuel nuclear power plants and/or make nuclear weapons. Since Iraq has never had any nuclear power plants or a program to build any, that leaves only two reasons why it had so much of the stuff...to make nuclear weapons or give/sell/trade it to those who want to make nuclear weapons.

I noted last night that a supply of uranium from Iraq had been successfully moved to Montreal in secrecy. If you check into this, you’ll quickly find that the uranium a) was not weapons grade and b) was well known to the UN and IAEA and was being stored legally by Saddam’s government. It was legally in Iraq according to international law. I wondered if the right wing echo chamber would use this as “proof” that the WMD claims were true after all. I got even better than I hoped, as not only do they use it that way, but they reveal how dishonest they are by the way they have done this.

Yellowcake uranium found in Iraq, Saddam’s legacy, Bush was right!

Given the Executive Branch's TSA and their Million Person Blacklist, a Congressional blacklist with ONLY 50 PEOPLE on it would be a breath of fresh air.
