It's nice that Arlen Specter is there to slap his a$$ back. Gonzales is scarey.

That is truly chilling. He really said it! He also admitted that he hadn't read the constitution recently. It was a really scary bit of analysis. Most attemting to define a line around the smallest subset of people who are entitled to the protections of habeus corpus.
This administration really scares me sometimes

We have some scary motherf*ckers in the whitehouse at this point.
It is the conservative in me that is screaming bloody murder when I read this. These guys are more for 'big government' intruding into your private life than any liberal. |

are we sure Alberto Gonzales didn't just cross the border? is he an illegal immigrant?
The founding fathers designed the constitution to protect us from people like Gonzales, Cheney and Bush. Last edited by on-ramp; 01-19-2007 at 01:58 PM.. |

Don't worry, guys. If you aren't a Muslim, you have little chance of being locked up indefinitely.

Sounds like another lawyer picking the fly***** out of the pepper. Totally ignoring the implied and generally understood meaning of the words in question, he is technically correct. The fact that he has decided to use this tactic is somewhat reminiscent of "it depends on what 'is' is". We should not allow lawyers of any stripe to have a hand in our government, for any reason. They will be our undoing.

I'm surprised that the Fint/Reardon/Snowman junta haven't jumped in. I guess Anne Coulter hasn't published anything on this yet

![]() On the other hand, Gonzales is using the Lincoln precedent to put forward this idea. The latest law passed by Congress seems to support this withdrawal of Habeas Corpus as well, stating that anyone can be arrested by the military now and tried before a military tribunal. The Militaristic Democratic Dictatorship is almost upon us. When Hilary Clinton is elected, it will be complete. |

The current bunch really ARE facists, plain and simple. The only thing more terrifying is the Dems siezing all 3 houses of power and going on a 2nd Amendment shredding binge as a result of the stupidity of W and his merry men. ![]() And SCOTUS is even more power-grabbing then the others. Congress or the Prez would never dream of publically passing the eminent domain laws that SCOTUS has recently 're-written'. Whatever, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. |
