In a surprising move yesterday, Christopher Dodd (D-CT) announced that he would introduce legislation to guarantee US Constitutional Rights to enemy combatants, and would seek to repeal portions of the recently enacted Military Commissions Act.
source: "It's clear the people who perpetrated these horrendous crimes against our country and our people have no moral compass and deserve to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. But in taking away their legal rights, the rights first codified in our country's Constitution, we're taking away our own moral compass, as well."
If Dodd believes that last week's election was a mandate for this radical approach to dealing with enemy combatants, then the next two years may provide entertainment from DC not seen in a long time.

NEVER FORGET
Then DNC Chair CHRIS DODD was handed $400,000 in Communist Vietnam money by then CLINTON White House Commerce Secretary RON BROWN, after RON's return home.

What the Heck is Now Public and who is Nuke Gingrich?
Bush won't have to veto it. There is no way in hell it'll get 51 votes, even with the D's controlling the Senate.
I'm willing to bet that Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Pryor, Lincoln, Landreiu, Johnson, Webb, Casey, Baucus, Tester, and Salazar won't vote for it.
The point, though, is to MAKE them do it.
<< Dodd is a nutcase. >>
Dodd, as, in both houses, are scores, perhaps hundreds, of others, is an alcoholic.
And one must never underestimate the evil inherent in every common-garden alcoholic.
Or doubt that since 1776 alcoholics have been and continue to be responsible for almost every single act of evil ever perpetrated by the United States' Congress or signed into Law by an alcoholic president.
Of whom the most prominent recently was Lyndon Baines Johnson, whose alcoholism was the architect of and micro-managed the national disaster we call the Vietnam War.

This could come back to bite Dodd and his chums on the ass real bad. Of course the president will veto it, so I hope he does introduce the bill.

We need to focus on the misdeeds of "Jim Beam" not Chris Dodd. /s
HEY! DUmbass, if Bin
Laddie sets off a nuke in Conn. does Chris have any rights? Bet he's not stumped over that one. Go get em, Laddie!!!
Talk about giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Dodd is a piece of human debris that should be arrested and tried as a traitor.
Is there a source other than a blog for this?
This will be VETOED and dims will eat this vote in 2008! Bank on it!!!
LLS
Any bets on whether W vetoes anything at all?
