"The Constitution is not a suicide pact - if it becomes one, then YES ditch it!"

And there we have it folks the first honest "Constitution, who needs it".

Needless to say I disagree, but I applaud you honesty.

You're welcome - I shall not return the favor in some macabre admiration that less than 1 million will die.

It is the courts who are ditching the constitution or more correctly interpreting it as a suicide pact.

GWB isn't el presidente for life and is subject to impeachment by Congress should they feel he is in fact abusing his powers under the guise of national security.

Plain and simple, the courts should butt out, because we elect our leaders and can remove them and replace them at will. Once again, the courts are gathering power and authority to themselves and inserting themselves into politics as representatives and protectors of our rights.

It's bull squeeze. From the very beginning the courts should have shoved this question back at congress, saying the courts have no jurisdiction and if congress wants to do something about it, then congress should get busy.

I am praying that Scalia gets a clue and a dose of humility.
