		<description>Thats oddly similar to my opinion of Bush&#039;s Adm.

 I don&#039;t have to agree with it and don&#039;t like it.

 Is there a list of Bush being told NO to issue and his authority?  He doesn&#039;t hear it near as much as I do. 

 Must be in Bush&#039;s Project for a New Century&#039;s constitution where only wealthy have rights and can&#039;t be told NO......</description>

		<description>According to McCorpse, &quot;These are unlawful combatants.&quot;
Most, if not all, of the detainees have not been charged yet, have not been afforded a prompt, fair trial, and consequently, have not been convicted.

It would appear that McCain has designated himself as a self-appointed judge and jury and has already rendered his verdict.

McSlime has provided us with an important sneak preview regarding the manner in which he would manage the Oval Office.</description>

McCain is dangerous, unbalanced, confused, ignorant, opportunistic, untruthful, corrupt, old, and just plain nasty. If Obama can’t beat him, I will give up. I will leave, or set myself on fire outside the McCain inauguration. Because that will mean that the American people are just too gullible and stupid to deserve the government we have fought for all these years. And four current members of the supreme court are radical enemies of our way of life. Any supposed Democrat who votes for McCain votes against the constitution and against freedom.

&lt;strong&gt;Q U E S T I O N:&lt;/strong&gt;
If the President of the USA, upon signing bills into laws, makes sure to NOT faithful ensure they ARE lawfully executed(defined as being Constitutionally sound/passing muster), is it legal? If later, the SCOTUS decides that aspects of this law ARE unconstitutional, then did the law pass the muster? Did the president fulfill his Constitutional Duty? And if not, what should the remedy be... 

... The president id due to &quot;retire&quot; January 20, 2009. Upon &quot;retirement&quot; he receives a lifetime of benefits that includes a guaranteed salary and SS protection, heath coverage and diplomatic status. This is essentially a &quot;Gold Watch&quot; handed to him as an award for a heck of a job.

I say, &quot;Melt that &#039;Gold Watch&#039; down and use it as the necessary &#039;stimulus&#039; America needs.&quot;

Does George W(orst) Bush deserve such a hefty severance package... ? This is why Impeachment is NECESSARY! Sure he MIGHT get arrested 10 years from now, a-la Milosevic style in Paraguay, however what message does this send to future presidents... ?

		<description>Alejandro in #10:

If the 2nd Amendment can give me the right to hand a pair of Bear Arms on the wall, the 9th can be read as retaining *people*, not &quot;rights&quot;. :)

All joking aside, the 14th Amendment is probably more appropriate:

&quot;No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...&quot;

No mention of Citizenship.</description>

		<description>Slightly off topic. but, the subject reminded me.

Has anyone offered a reason why Bin Laden has not been tried, in absentia, on charges related to 9/11? It&#039;s becoming quite clear that the government is stalling because it can&#039;t build cases against &quot;internees&quot; and actual trials would expose same. Would it not be reasonable to conclude that Bushco is afraid they can&#039;t even build a case against the arch criminal? Is that the big secret at the heart of their web of lies?</description>

		<description>It struck me when reading excerpts of Scalia&#039;s dissent, that perhaps Scalia didn&#039;t know that the constitution was written DIRECTLY AFTER A WAR. Perhaps Scalia thought that the people who wrote the constitution didn&#039;t know what it was like to fight for the survival of their country against a power who believed in a strong leader government. Perhaps Scalia doesn&#039;t know that those who wrote the constitution were WELL FAMILIAR with a system where the leader (or King) could do anything they wanted. So if Scalia thought the writers of the constitution didn&#039;t know anything about it, he feels free to dismiss what they actually wrote about seperation of powers and rights of individuals. Perhaps Scalia believes that his own experiences using angry words in speeches to conservative think tanks make him better qualified to judge the meaning of freedom than those who just fought to attain it (at the &quot;cost of American lives&quot;).

Or, perhaps Scalia believes the British won the revolution and we live in a monarchy, hard to tell from his rulings...</description>
