11:52 Feingold wants to return to questions about Presidential power, and asks if the President can violate a constitutional statute if in bans an inherent constitutional power of the President. Alito says that the constitution trumps a statute, but the situation that Feingold describes fits precisely into Jackson's framework and is the area where the President's powers are at their lowest ebb, and to decide if the President could violate the statute would require an examination of the specific facts.

Let me answer your question directly: NO
Article 1 Section 9 Clause 2 gives him incredible powers which ARE constitutional.

I strongly dislike Russ Feingold, his arrogance, his demeanor, everything about the man. Ditto for his partner in crime, John McCain.

So far the stupidest question I've heard today was Jeffrey Tobin to Ed Gillespie on why the judge doesn't just say I'll vote for Roe V Wade to against Roe V Wade like politicians do when they run for office -- Ed Gillespie had to give Jeffrey Tobin a lesson on the difference between politics and running for office and Supreme Court Justice who is supposed to be balanced and impartial and that he's not running for office...
I sent an email to Wolf Blitzer and asked where Tobin got his license, because he needs to go back to school.

Alito should add in:
"Senator, I would vote to declare Campaign Finance Reform unconstitutional."
That would be great...

Feingold wants to go after the President. He knows that Alito will be confirmed. He is reflecting how thin skinned the Dems are in this infantile display to argue that W is just like the most useless man in America and her husband.

If my pastor quotes John McCain one more Sunday, I just might have to rededicate my membership!

Because Clinton was, so it has to happen to W. Because Dems are emotionally underdeveloped

I think we need to start a grass roots campaign to have Ted Kennedy named as a Supreme Court Justice so he can have the "honor" of sitting before his peers and the world can listen to a replay of his "stellar" history. A few of the unforgettable moments would be his dismissal from Harvard for cheating and a thorough investigation into the death of Mary Jo, for starters. No doubt there are other memorable events in his life.
Sealed bottles of water would be the only allowed refreshment to insure his safety.

Let me answer your question directly: NO Well, I am not the brightest bulb in the light, but I'm fairly certain that the Constitution isn't contradictory and is pretty specific when the framers wanted to be specific. I think roles are probably clear. The Dems just don't like them.
