Ahh, thanks for that. So, your Congress, Supreme Court and an overwhelming majority of your citizenry are calling for armed pilots and George Bush is denying them this right?

Interesting. I didn't know Bush the present was that powerful- maybe I should go out and join the Democratic Party and oppose him.

BTW, what is "occupied ga"? At first I thought you were talking about Georgia, but your English is very good. You wouldn't be talking about the United States Georgia would you? But look, Cynthia McKinney is bound to be voted out of office and Georgia won't be occupied by socialists any more and then you will have to explain your name in the future. I was born and reared in Griffin btw.

We like Bush (King George II?) a LOT here in Great Britain. He is a strong leader and it is no wonder why the lefties dislike him so much. I suppose you're right- he has it within his authority to pass a constitutional ammendment and a law (written in stone too) that airline pilots will be armed and has not done so. It's a pity the Americans, when they thought up the Constitution, didn't devise a system of checks and balances where the Congress could make a law when the need arose-- then you wouldn't be so mad at the President, then the Congress would share at least some of the blame. But since you don't have a system like that- it must be ALL Dubya's fault and you are right to call him names.

I don't know about the supremes, but the citizens and Congress is calling for armed pilots. Bill passed out of the house yesterday overwhelminginly in favor of arming the pilots.

He's not supposed to be, but Congress has been abdicating it's authority to the president for decades

Yep, Georgia in the USA - occupied by yankees, liberals and home grown scalawags

But look, Cynthia McKinney is bound to be voted out of office and Georgia won't be occupied by socialists any more

Oh would that it were true, but I suspect that McKinney won't be voted out of office. She is black, and her supporters are mostly black, ad that's the main reason that they vote for her. Also her supporters include the terminally envious, and Mckinney is perpetually voting to stick it to the high achievers, but this is another topic and I'm rambling

Actually it is a wonder why the lefties dislike him. He has been following a redistributionist policy that would have made Ralph Nader proud.

...written in stone too) that airline pilots will be armed and has not done so.

He through his transportation agency has blocked the arming of the pilots administratively - convenient fiction that when some bureaucrat wants to make a law they just say that the authority was granted under Congress under existing laws

My, sarcasm. The constitution is only valid to the extent that it is followed. If the government doesn't follow the constitution, then there are no checks and vbalances, and believe me they don't follow the constitution.
