The citizens of this country are struglling to keep even basic constitutional rights under this Administration.

Impeach Bush/Cheney on ground of treason!!!

Yanni?

Front page stuff? Charge him or appeal the District Court's ruling or send him to a civilian court or release him and see what he does.

Finally, after years of abuse, the courts are declaring Bush a constitution breaking blockhead. About time.

[tuckerndfw]

Imagine that, the president cannot legally order people held without charges or trials.

Seems like that is in that "quaint, outdated document" (Gonzales's decription of the US Constitution) or that "********* piece of paper" (Bush description of US Constitution) somewhere.

Too bad the courts are about 5 years too late. But, better late than never, I suppose. Unless you are one of those who killed himself after being tortured by Bush and his thugs.

"To sanction such presidential authority to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain civilians, even if the President calls them 'enemy combatants,' would have disastrous consequences for the constitution %u2014 and the country," the court said in its opinion.


Ahhhh ... just amazing.

An entity of the American government has once again stood to defend the great Constitution of the United States of America.

And now we must identify everyone involved in the subversion of our Constitution, from Dictator Bush down, and justly accuse and try them for high treason according to the rules and laws set forth in our Constitution.

No, they won't be denied the rights they attempted to deny to all others, because this is America. Despite all the evil they have done, we will show the world that America once again stands for the rule of law, even when dealing with one of the most despicable forms of life imaginable, traitors to their own country and people.
ST


"Republicans are in a unique historical position. They are the first group of people raised on this land, who call themselves Americans, that openly proclaim the virtues of torture, secret prisons, extra judicial abduction, universal surveillance, and dictatorial government."

That's why Gonzales needs to go.

[omega39-2009]

Haven't they heard? Gonzales says the Constitution doesn't guarantee anyone the right of Habeas Corpus.

When the most conservative court in the country tells you you've gone too far, its time to re-read the constitution instead of Karl Rove's play book.
