Arator, your boy Pat would have simply bashed on his selected sections of the Constitution, so your words about tyranny ring as hollow as the space between your ears.

Regretfully, you are right. Pat Buchanan has praised Dubya's unconstitutional and Soviet-style secret military tribunals and gushed over Son of Spookdaddy, calling him a "war leader in the highest Western tradition". As such, he has proven himself as faithless to our founding principles and constitution as Dubya is. Consequently, while I still agree with much of what Pat has to say, I find him no longer fit to be president and will no longer support him should he seek that office again.

I see the facts elude you yet again. Tribunals have been found to be constitutional by the Supreme Court on two occassions, and Congress a long, long time ago gave the president authority to declare them. I personally would like to see changes to those laws, but that does not change the fact that Bush is acting in a constitutional manner in declaring tribunals.

Any other misinformation you wish to add to the thread?
