Comments on: Mukasey To Congress: You Say It First

By Refusing To Say Waterboarding Is Torture, Justice Nominee Puts the Ball In Congress' Court

[abbe91]

"Actually, the reason for having the Congress pass a law is just to show that they willing to say "No" to any torture at all. It doesn''''t really have to be water boarding, it could be impaling people or giving people electric shocks or drilling their teeth or any other torture. They just need to pick one thing they are willing to actually vote to oppose.

As long as they don''''t give immunity and maybe even if they do we can still get people for war crimes later without their help - maybe they should be included.

I''d rather think the point is to have existing laws enforced. There is a procedure for that purpose. It''s called impeachment. Impeach these "roaches" before they carry through another 9/11-Northwoods to murder any amount of Americans, as somebody said before.

Let them pass a law or be held as liars and scum.

Even better, pass the law, and make it retroactive back to Vietnam, when it was last prosecuted by the US army as such, then Bush looses his loophole to claim "we only did it when it was legal"...

If it cannot be made retroactive, then it is better not to make a new law, just rely on the existing body of law, that has prosecuted this action in the past.

Waterboarding would fall under cruel and unusual punishment.

U.S. Constitution, Eighth Amendment: forbids excessive bail or fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.

But let''s re-invent the wheel for those too dense to understand.

Give SRP a dime for his thoughts and what do you get ?
Change.

Before calling "lefties" nazis, he should go and check whom Hitler was friend with ... Prescott Bush, for example.

According to "newthink" retroactive laws may be possible these days. :(

It was easier for the National Enquirer to find headlines in the 1990s.

Just in -

DEMOCRATS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DENY COLBERT A PLACE ON THE BALLOT...

Hmmmm, Stephen Colbert is actually in their court. But I guess they wanted to make room for his even more dumb twin - the Ga-ye Naziboy, Keith Olber-MANN.

After all, Olber-MANN is more obnoxious and he has MoveOn.Org support - sorry, Stevie, but you just don''t.

That''s the gratitude of your fellow Lefties for your own stupidity. They''d prefer an even frootier bozo than you.

Abbe, like all brain dead Nazis - would let a roach carry through a plan to murder any amount of Americans instead of waterboarding.

Why?

Because this is the nature of how stupid the Left Fascists really are. They cry about the Patriot Act? Yet not a one is in prison. They scream about freedom of expression, yet THEY try to deny others, including that obnoxious Ron Paul clown who is really on THEIR side, his. They scream Fascist and Sieg Heil when it comes to Bush - yet they are among the most sickening, repugnant Anti-Semites to ever grace a blog. If I were called a Hitler Lover, and really wasn''t - I''d be outraged. But methinks these Lefties really wish Der Fuhrer was back, just as they wish for a Bin Laden victory.

Scum - cowards and traitors - that''s all they are.

Thanks, Abbe, and you too Loser-man, Iceboy aka LastDance, Randy BoBS, and dweebil among others, including Tucker rhymes with F and FeelJihadi to constantly verifying what I''ve said:

IF LEFTISTS HAD BRAINS THEY''D BE REPUBLICANS. AND AMERICANS, NOT NAZI COWARDS.
