Since you seem to have nothing but insults for anyone postulating any position other than the one you agree with, then maybe you should change your screen name to 'nobrains'.

It seems to fit better since 'civility' is obviously not your 'forte'.

After 911 you would think that people would know better... Oh well maybe after 50,000 dead in the next failure. But by then it will be a Democrat that gets the glory and believe me when Democrats converge to wage war they will trample all over the Constitution and guess what... MSM & Liberals won't bat an eyelash... The programming in America is blame Bush... Blame Bush.... Blame the only true hero after 911 who's policies kept this country from falling into the abyss. Everyone forgets 911...
As I Remember the attacks were geared at crushing our economy and sending the country into depression... Terrorists failed and only put us on the offensive thanks to a gutsy President that cares more about taking care of the people in this country then he does about what people say about him... If I remember right that is the definiation of a true Hero!!

"so called purist conservatives failed to support the party and became RINOS by default"

Excellent point. Astute!

Way to strip away the bs perspectives and reveal the stark truth.

"Crap like this is going to put all of us in danger, even those of you who think Bush is a RINO."

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and follows a policy of never confronting its political enemies head on, its a duck. Even Ali couldn't rope-a-dope all the time.

Proving my point. Bush just stood up to the press, the democrats, and the "cut and runners" of his own party at a press conference in Jordan this morning.

It isn't the President's job to give you sound bites where you can high five your pals over an insult he gave to a democrat. That is how Bill CLinton governed. It is undignified and accomplishes nothing.

So, I will simply point out that the point of this article was the judge's abysmal decision, and all YOU are concerned about is calling Bush a RINO.

"nd all YOU are concerned about is calling Bush a RINO."

No, what I'm concerned with is assuring we don't repeat the mistakes that lead to our being ousted into the wilderness. Prime reason for our defeat was RINOs, who by not confronting Dems head on gutted the resolve of our party and it's ability to persuade the populace of conservative positions.

Why don't you go cry along with Chafee, he was Bush's boy, and yours too apparently.

In the words of Andrew Jackson, "They have made their decision, now let them enforce it". If the court (any court) makes stupid decisions, they should be ignored.

You continue to demonstrate one of the reasons why we lost those swing voters. Do you think your belligerent attitude is going to win converts?

Pfft. Swagger around with your "principles" all you want. We lost the election and I doubt that you will ever realize why. (Hint: it wasn't the conservatives and it wasn't the liberals. Chew on that for a while.)

Vagueness seems to be a good reason. The judge may actually not be a monster, and it might just be easily corrected.

Maybe so. Still, I shudder at the ease with which our anointed blackrobed druid class have become accustomed to overturning laws hammered out in the give and take of Congress, the representatives of a nominally free people.

Agreed...we should be careful who we allow to set the guidelines for determining terrorist groups.
I'd opine that if the empirical data available suggests the group has been involved with terrorist type activities, then it's a terrorist group.
If it walks like a duck, it ain't a frog.

Hmmm, what a minute, that's bordering on common sense.
OMG, what was I thinking. Sorry, I must have been caught up in the moment.

It won't happen again.

Neither is the Executive branch supposed to legislate.

I'm with you you in this. The same people defending this now will scream bloody mudrer when a dem president designates the NRA or some such as a terrorist group. I remember seeing a FBI flier during the clinton administration saying one of the signs to watch for a terrorist was carrying a copy of the constitution around. So i'm guessing these so called conservatives defending this will find themselves singing a different toon when a designation is something they don't agree with

"Neither is the Executive branch supposed to legislate."

The Executive Order that is the subject of this article is within the pervue of the duties of Commander in Chief. This is not a legislative matter, it is a lead the war matter and, therefore, is part of the job description of the President of the US, not a part of the job description of Congress.

I noted on an earlier reply that you said Congress approves and funds plans. If that is the case, you can enumerate the plans that they have passed and the plans they have declined to pass. You will not be able to do that, because Congress does not pass plans, they fund the military programs or do not fund the military programs.

It is true they are given updates every 60 days, but they do not vote on individual plans.

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

This is talking about money. It is not talking about leading a war. That is the job of the President and is explicitly spelled out in Article II Section 2.

"Ignorance of the Constitution is a requirement to get a judgeship under Dem presidents."

Obviously.
