Hmmm... But that would include the GOP and all those that vote for them, wouldn't it
Hey Francisco, whazzup?
You're not supposed to notice that, didn't you get the pamphlet last week?
The term of the War Powers act is almost expired, if I'm not mistaken (it was a 90 day authority, wasn't it, before Congress had to make a formal declaration), and still we have no declaration of War. Yet, ask any NeoCon why they are so quiveringly ecstatic to suspend Constitutional liberties, and they will chatter "Cuz we're at war buddy!".
Hmm, strange, I'm still waiting for the declaration.What I'm not waiting for, since the NeoCons are so eager to provide them, are closed borders, warrantless searches, secret tribunals, warrantless wiretaps and warrantless email interception. They also seem to be able to provide Federalized airport workers and a "bailout" of billions of dollars to businesses which were already failing prior to 9/11. Now what was it called, when government supported and propped up businesses, what was that system called again?
But hey, its all ok if GW does it, right? I mean, this doesn't set a precedent now, does it? Nahhh, say it ain't so.
Revenge against the terrorists? You bet! Do it hard, do it fast, and don't give them a kiss to warm up. But do it the right way, stop pretending that GW is some kind of emperor who is under no constraint to follow the Constitution. If we are at war, Congress needs to declare it, period.
