Obama Expected To Shift Policy On Torture, Gitmo And Other Controversial Measures

The media thinks they deserve it without regard for proof, the people follow like a herd of cows, and the reality is that America needs to stand on the constitution always and forever, black or white.

A really big FABRICATION only you and a handful of others believe is more like it.

Berg would need to file a new appeal as the District Judge still has a final decision on the record that has not been overturned. To date is had not even gotten the sufficient interest in a legal sense of Judges at either appellate level to actually review the legal principles used by the District Judge in his opinion. At this point in time the person that "got it right" is the District Judge.

Posted by misha128 at 02:54 PM : Jan 13

Oh the justices are plenty interested in it...

Posted by TexHillGirl at 02:58 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Interested and interested in a legal sense are two different things entirely. In interested in a legal sense to me means they actually want to hear arguments to elevate the status of any final decision above the level it was affirmed (district or appellate) to a national standard -- whether they agree or disagree with the District Judge''s opinion.

Guess what dems? your in for another reagan or bush when obama is done. know why? all the liberal hatred, anger, lothing, disgust i have read here is what brought reagan in after carters failed pres. would have thought you would learn by now to not only talk the talk but walk the walk. love, kindness, openness, understanding is what liberal preach however its FAR DIFFERENT THEN WHAT YOU POST. I might be narrow minded but i dont pertend to be anything else.

It''s going to be interesting to see how steadfastly Obama stands on his campaign pledges once he''s being briefed daily by the Secret Service on all the c.rap and potential c.rap happening hour by hour that he wasn''t priviledged to be part of as a Senator.

[misha128-2009]

No dear, read up...you know not what you''''re speaking about...


Posted by TexHillGirl at 02:49 PM : Jan 13, 2009

My source was correct in asserting without a guarantee a pattern of denial on Monday after a Friday conference as we all know the court does what is sees as it''s duty on it''s own schedule. Then the denial that matches the reported pattern is announced in the usual way. I do not claim to have been right because I really did not choose either outcome. However the source that pointed out the pattern to me is looking very credible and experienced as a court observer now now.

[takebackusa]

takebackusa - you are of the mistaken perception that Christians are faultless because they are perfect.

Not so, they profess openly that only one individual has been born on earth which meets that criteria.

Sure, Christians use the ten commandments as rules to live by, but forgiveness is possible for all if the request is contrite.


Posted by Speakinup21 at 02:52 PM : Jan 13, 2009

I wasn''t attacking Christianity. Sorry if I came across that way. This was for Rowdy, who tells everyone on here about the married preacher of her church she has been having an affair with for years. I was just wondering how she can be so critical of other preachers considering what she is doing. I was trying to point out her hypocricy.

PS...they were only 529 votes on it...several abstentions and absences...

Posted by TexHillGirl at 02:47 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Assuming that was your intent I won''t argue the 539 -- but the rest of your assertion is pure fantasy. The IF and HOW the war was waged are the critical issues and the administration alone controlled the HOW, excluding possibly some foreigners like the Brits, maybe.

[misha128-2009]

Yeah, too bad isn''''t it Misha, his case is still up for the 16th...and the denial of the writ simply means the district court judge will now have to receive Berg''''s amicus brief...and will have to rule on it...and if he denies it, it will be sent right back up to SCOTUS...

And the wheels of justice just keep turning...

Posted by TexHillGirl at 02:40 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Unless the Supreme Court requires the district judge to review his decision, which would of course require that they actually hear the case instead of declining to hear it, The District judge has already made his final decision. Gee that fantasy universe of yours is really strange.

[entropod]

It is rare in history for a human being to cede illicit power willingly, and if Obama does so he will join a small but elite group of individuals who literally changed history by simply doing what was right.

Let us hope for our nation that he can resist the urge to hold the power of the ring for himself.

And let us hope for our nation that Bush, Cheney, and all there accomplices are justly tried for high treason against The United States of America, and crimes against humanity. And if found guilty, spend the rest of their lives behind prison bars.

A far gentler fate than they delivered to the millions of their victims.

What do you think the Authorization to use Military Force was -- the authorization to take action in concurrence with the UN authorization I mentioned. My statement still stands that the execution of the war tactics, strategies and use of interrogation techniques and other actions are still the sole responsibility of the Executive. More simply the Congress gets consulted about whether or not to wage war, the President and the executive branch executes the war -- remember the there are not 538 Generals in Congress comments.

Posted by misha128 at 02:30 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Like we said, Misha, it''''s going to be a crowded courtroom with all 529 Congresswomen and man, Clinton/Gore/Biden/Bush/Cheney, Tony Blair and several other heads of state that have voting rights at the UN...plus all their cabinets and staff...

Posted by TexHillGirl at 02:37 PM : Jan 13, 2009

Perhaps you need your glasses -- the executive branch waged the war and all issues I have heard about being litigated have to do with HOW the war was waged and not IF the war was waged (Congress and the UN approved the IF and not the HOW). Try reading the paragraph again -- you may eventually understand.

PS there are 538 members of Congress, just for the record.

SCOTUS commented on Rowdy''s favorite case yesterday, the one that was supposed to be set for conference again on Jan 16th.

No. 08-570
Title:
Philip J. Berg, Petitioner
v.
Barack Obama, et al.
Docketed: October 31, 2008


Jan 12 2009 Petition DENIED.

Next executive order is to replace Halliburton/KBR in Iraq and Afghanistan with a fair bid contract - then indict Halliburton for corrupt practices.

We''ve seen the All American Church Going Family, Texas Style.

It normally involves one husband and one-hundred wives, average age, thirteen.

One thing Obama can say about his former church, The ATF or FBI never saw fit to improve it by emptying it or burning it down.

[misha128-2009]

The decision to take action was in essence ratified by the world with UN authorization which is what the Congress also approved. Again when specific actions are questioned the administration will be the ones called upon to answer those questions.

next fabrication?? ---

Hmmmm so the dem''''s have been sleeping for the last five years?


War powers ACT 1973

CONSULTATION
SEC. 3.
The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities or into situation where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.

Why were you so miserable? I''''''''ve been just as happy and content the last 8 years as I have under any other president.

LOL Say ROWDY have you found the MONTH that Trickle Down was NOT running the nation into the red yet? Oh that''s right, you could care less about the rest of us, YOU did alright! Never mind! God were do creatures like this come from??
