That was some good info Kesg. Thanks for pinging me on it DoughtyOne.
Glad to do it. Later...
The government plans to ask the district judge for a stay pending the appeal. If she refuses the request, it can ask the Sixth Circuit for a stay. It would very likely grant such a request.
My pleasure.
Exactly so.
That was a limited scope ruling, and did not address the issue of Presidential war-time powers, per se.
It is now coming down to using the War Powers Act argument at the USSC, to give the Executive Branch its equal authority to adminsiter consistent with the provisions of the Constitution in the separation and equality of the three branches of government.
Without a definitive precedent, the lop-sided control being exercised by Congress (especially the blow-hard elitists in the Senate), the President will become a token figurehead position forever.
A favorable ruling on THIS issue will also go a long way on the position that can be expected on the next USSC appointment when the Democrats fillibuster, and the nuclear option is exercised.
Unfortunately, the gutless RINO's caved to the Democrats on Judicial appointments and now the time may be too short to successfully get the nuclear option ruling before GWB is out of office, and, heaven help us, if it IS ruled on that the appointment process can't be fillibustered, the Democrat President will pack the courts so badly we may NEVER return to Constitutional rights........
As I said, the RINO's lack of spine allowed the nuclear option not to be exercised last session (and blew the opportunity), and now it may be too late to test the USSC position.
6th circuit is a pretty good court. Fairly conservative.
Yes, and the stay will be put in place, while the real outcome will work through appeals to the USSC, ultimately.
In the meantime, the talking points for the Dem's have successfully been put in place, convieniently in time for use through the Nov. elections, ranting that "Bush is out of control, and America needs a change. Even the courts have ruled he has violated the Constitution...."
Yes, all that you posted is true and thanks for expanding on what I stated earlier.
You are correct, and let's hope it works out using some sorely-needed common sense, for a change.
Thanks and AMEN to the rest! :-)
