well, let me ask you - what are you going to say if he has to violate the supreme court - because there is a 50/50 chance this case will be upheld.

can the supreme court issue an unconstitutional decision? what are they, infallible? OK you say, then its up to Congress to get involved. But look at the Gitmo decision, the SCOTUS had laws passed by congress specifically to curb their involvement with certain types of cases - they simply sidestep them. the SCOTUS essentially amended the Geneva treaties, where did they get the consitutional power to do that?

so what do you do next? impeach those justices? its not going to happen.

do you see now why the left, above all else, seeks to control the judicial branch of government? its the most powerful branch, the most arbitrary, with the fewest (if any) checks and balances.

I would favor Bush's impeachment at that juncture. He is not above the law. He has, in fact, taken an oath to uphold the laws and abide by the laws. I expect him to honor that oath.

I do agree that the SC is a mess.

The political situation in the US is heartbreaking. There is nothing but us-vs-them, with very little common sense shown on either side. The SWAT-style invasions for most any reason are just plain uncalled for. I am concerned very much about these situations. They are more important than terrorism.

I favor isolationism and gun-boat diplomacy where natural resources are concerned. I'd rather see all Islamics driven from this Nation ... and a Constitutional Ammendment to overlook Islam as a religion if necessary.
