The parade of ego's will compete with Independence Day parades.
That SCOTUS ruling may turn out to be a good thing, if it pushes Congress to create an offical, workable process for dealing with those detainees.
Durbin reminds me of Daschle..full of it ...hope he
gts the ame fate as Tommike..Hahahahah...Jake
"guidelines that the supreme court set"...The almighty Supreme Court hath spoken..you better obey, you other branches of government!
The president needs to make a request of Congress while they are on recess. Left to themselves, the senate will probably screw it up. Dems like Durbin and Reid will try to spin this into "an unprecedented power grab by the executive that goes way beyond the findings of the supreme court". The president really doesn't have to ask for all that much, only that he wants Congress to codify the authority he (and the congress) thought he had already been granted.
I don't know who wrote the headline but:
There is nothing in the article to indicate any action, fast or slow, by Congress or the Senate.
There is nothing in the article that indicates Frist's potential action, the only one mentioned other than Specter's, is fast. Well, maybe fast for a politician trying not to offend anyone.
I don't trust anything Specter does so anything he does may be worse than doing nothing.
Perhaps the bill should include a work release program so that these "innocent bystanders to the war" could do gardening for Teddy Kennedy, light housekeeping for Nancy Pelosi and wash the windows at Hillary's Chapaqua mansion. Certainly some Congressional offices need the floors waxed.
