President Bush and First Lady Laura are on their way to Latin America for a four-day trip with visits to Mexico, Peru and El Salvador. In a stop-over in El Paso, TX, Bush spoke to a crowd about increasing security at our nation's borders. He also visited a local customs inspection area. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!
Exactly, at least for the time he has left in the senate.
you believe in everything i am against. you believe in a police-state.
and all we can talk about is Afghanistan, "VICTORY". It is cock-roach infested nation; it always was, it is; and it will always be. and you call it victory about BILLIONS OF OUR DOLLARS within a nation that will keep us there forever. you call it "VICTORY" when Americans are fighting a war in far off nations that have little to do with America.
why not beg BUSH to create new statehood for Afghanistan?
Everybody, LISTEN UP! GWB is NOT going to sign an unconstitutional CFR bill for a technical reason. Any law passed by both houses of Congress enjoys the presumption of constitutionality unless and until it's ruled unconstituional by the one and only branch of government empowered by the Constitution to interpret the Constitution, and that is the SCOTUS -- it's not the president, politicians, or citizens, PERIOD!
In other words, the CFR is, at the present time, constitutional, and it will remain so unless and until the Supremes declare that it's not.
GWB has promised to sign a CFR bill if the "constitutional problems" with it were resolved. Congress did that simply by passing it, so be patient, and let the system work.
So how will "the system work?" Somebody with standing has to run the gauntlet challenging the CFR's constitutionality all the way up to the SCOTUS. It has to accept the case, and that's at its discretion. The earliest, in practicality, a decision would be reached is about a year away.
Meanwhile, the 2002 elections will have come and gone and the GIANT trap the Dems and traitors have laid for GWB will be completely avoided and turned against them. Having nothing to offer, they will suffer massivly in the election, then guess what? Solid majorities in both houses of Congress will be behind an increasingly conservative legislative agenda sponsored by the White House and from within.
To repeat, the CFR is now constitutional, and GWB has promised to support one that is. That it's constitutional only due to a technicality is irrelevant. GWB cannot, and no chief executive should, usurp the powers of the other two branches of government to do their jobs.
GWB has been misunderestimated again, and several of you have been sucked into being disappointed by what you perceive as betrayal. It is, however, an absolutely brilliant move by GWB, so calm down, and don't break the faith!
Thank you for clearning that up for any newcomers. Buck, you do know, don't you, that people have actually SEEN your posts on FR? I'll gladly disassociate myself from your hang dog attitude.
I'm PROUD to say I do not agree with anything you agree with.....including your unappeasable attitude.
I'd particularly like to disassociate myself from that ridiculous statement.
