I agree with what you posted. I have a copy of the Constitution on DVD sitting in back of me and have read it. People would be surprised at the vast powers a president has in the name of national defense or in times of war. Lew

Any President

What does it say about a lower that life piece of human scum that starts that war based on LIES. Bush needs to meet the same fate as Saddam.... Hey maybe they could have a private corner in HELL? Sieg Heil Bush!!

Again...

Quote the section of the Constitution of the United States where it says the President can "override" the law.

HE CAN''T.

[lewiston14]

Go back and read it again except this time read all of it.

Argghh! Not being able to use sonar is going to make us more vulnerable to a terrorist attack! Let Bush do whatever he wants so that we are safe from the terrorists. Be afraid. Hide underneath the covers. Vote Republican. Yippee!

Jim1348:

I''ve read the Constitution many times. Have you? Please refer me to the section that says the President is above the law or where he can "override" what the courts have ruled.

Let me give you a hint: there isn''t one and he can''t.

Your not going to like this but all the note has to say is

%u201CIn the better interest of The United States national defense and as the commander and chief of the United States armed forces following my Constitutional duty to fulfill the obligations specified in the Constitution I must %u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u201D

You can fill in the blank

[Jim1900]

jumkey,

The President, whether it is W. or otherwise, has a constitutional duty to fulfill the obligations specified in the Constitution. Why don''t you read it some time?

[Marie Zarankevich]

Has anyone else noticed that when George W. Bush is interviewed, his first response is to act surprised that the rest of America is still there, awaiting his answers ("Oh, YOU people!")? He gets this puzzled look on his face, as if responding to questions was not on his agenda, and now he must indulge this person. That has creeped me out on more than one occasion. mz

[jumkey]

Bush''s has a Constitutional duties to harm marine life?

Bush has a Constitutional duty to follow the law - that''s it pal. And the law says the Navy can''t do those sonar tests. If he orders the Navy to do otherwise he has broken the law and violated his Constitutional duty.

What a sad state America is in where we have to argue that the President isn''t above the law. Do you think you''re above the law jim1348? How about your neighbors? Friends? co-workers? I''ll bet the answer is "no" - and yet you argue the President is and more frighteningly you argue George Bush is.
