No matter what you say you can not decide when to obey the Constitution and when not to! It is the law of the land and that is it! Tossing out the laws of this country is not only wrong,it is criminal.ANYONE who believes otherwise needs to go to China and see how they like that!

In fact, I didn''t see anybody stop''n them at all.

"New rules for a new f8ckin ballgame. Delay and Rove didn''''t play nice and cared not for any rule that hindered them."

I didn''t see anybody stop''n them before we committed to a war.

[cockapoo11]

Are you telling me that this whole war? This whole nazi injustice? Is because you didn''t like someone?

New rules for a new f8ckin ballgame. Delay and Rove didn''t play nice and cared not for any rule that hindered them.

"Is that the federalism you''''re talking about?"

Thats representation. You''ll meet all kind ''round here, jack. How you respect or disrespect it is yer business.

[cockapoo11]

When are you gonna stop sing''n yer song, liberal? And come back down here.. to reality?

[apprxam]

Its based on the notion that most politics is local

Cockapoo


Of course it it.....remember, Tom Delay began the process of giving Texas to local RepubliCon in the mid ninties by threatening and, later on, using federal resources, namely, Customs and Border Patrol aircraft, satellite and RADAR, to secure the "STATE LEGISLATURE OF TEXAS to convene because the missing Democrats didn''t make the session possible due to having no quorum.

Is that the federalism you''re talking about?

[cockapoo11]

''The Geneva Convention''?

[cockapoo11]

What do ya call all that stuff ya see on teevee with all them cops swarming around wouldbe suspects? Club''n them and shyyt? Civility?

[apprxam]

Hey, the FAKERS lost tonight and altough I hate the Celtics (They''re just green Red Sux, to me.) I''m glad they''re leading the series.

Goodnight, everybody. I have to go to WalMart to get some cheap OJ and sandwich stuff.

...PIRATES, that is...

The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution states, in pertinent part, that all "persons" are to be accorded due process of law. It does not say all citizens. To me that means that anyone should have the right to challenge their incarceration. This is particularly true considering the events that led to the incarceration of many of these men,i.e., many of the accusers are offered sums of money they could never make in their lifetime. Most are poor. Some use this as an opportunity as revenge against personal enemies. Others do it just for the money. The result is predictable: many innocent men are arrested.

[cockapoo11]

Federalism is more complex than that. Its based on the notion that most politics is local. And democrats who are fighting it are trying to get people to accept the fact that the federal government knows their local business. And they can''t. Like healthcare and the economy. Instead? Federalists manage foreign affairs, and leave the local politics to the local politicians.

Torture, rape, mass-murder, illegal detention, U.S. Treasury plunder, fake war, yellow stenographer "journalism"...all brought to you by the greedy priats of Exxon-Mobil.

In high school, it were democrats who told on ya all the time to the teacher. They''re people who got about as much courage as Bill Clinton has bonnner control.

[apprxam]

Exactly, Incog, the opened ended nature of an undefinable term gave them the leeway and license to run roughshod over the constitution.

Scalia, the textualist, ignores his own principle of "original intent" everytime ginores, support or indemifies the administration''s contempt of law and selfserving agenda.

As for war, no declaration of war in the United States since FDR. Desert Shield, Bush-Forty-One was well underway before congressional support was gained.

[cockapoo11]

Courage stopped stopping Cheney and Bush. Or lack there of. Something the democrats are famous for.

[cockapoo11]

Well, ya shouldn''t murder people. I''d say thats pretty closed.

[apprxam]

I agree, Baja, but the first principle of protection from the state was usurped by Cheney, Rove and Delay''s breaking down the columns of federalism. Checks and Balances, and along with the failure of the press(the fourth estate)to think outside of their selfish desire to drum up controversey, war and domestic conflict to sell papers, the walls to stop Cheney/Bush was nulified.
