But of course that's just one of the many, many reasons we're all too well aware of...To MisterEC, FINALLY- I've been toying with the idea of somehow getting rid of nearly EVERY SINGLE member of Congress in one fell swoop (I should say "daydreaming about the idea of") and though I've yet to check out the sight, good on ya- we need real, concrete change, while we can still recognize our country. It's already bad enough...and just a shout out to "tokin librul", I'm a big fan of phonetic spelling. Clever.

This charge is patently absurd on its face. Then again, so is the source. If we do lose a city someday it will be done by a terrorist created by people like Bush and Gingrich the last 8 years.

It would give them the support they need to take over the world. False Flag incidents usaully start wars and movements. Many think 911 was a false flag incident. Who knows - not me.

That is why it is built into the Constitution itself. How 4 Justices could rule against Habeas just shows how their agenda is political and not the rule of law. This extra-Constitutional behavior by 4 Justices just shows what a poor job the Senate does in vetting these Justices. The lessons are clear. We must never again allow the likes of Roberts to be confirmed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is probably the most important issue American's face when deciding in November whether to elect McCain or Obama. Another political appointment to the Supreme Court would mean that American's will have voted to abolish the Constitution and the rule of law. At that point Democracy will have failed as a viable form of government. It is that desparate folks. Habeas corpus predates our founding fathers. That is why it is built into the Constitution itself.
