Don't worry, let the President deal with them.

What is worse, if the federal courts support the president's initial detention decision, ordinary Americans would be required to defend themselves before a military tribunal without the constitutional guarantees provided in criminal trials.

We're losing all our rights. Now they can grab anyone, anywhere, anytime, for any reason they choose.

Scary stuff

Sounds almost as bad as the mental health industry trash who just broke their own laws to keep my daughter locked up for eight and a half months without even making any pretense of respecting any of her rights. Her crime, of course, was not sucking hard enough on their feminist a**holes. She was tough, it took them that long to break her spirit and get her on her knees.

If our president shows any less respect for human rights and freedom, we'll have to start calling him "George Butch."

O, that way madness lies; let me shun that;
No more of that.

I know the second and fifth amendments in part. But I'm not American, so why should I give a stuff? About the amendments, and whether America is going to hell in a handbasket?

Rome.

Britain.

Now America.

First this is not a law.

Second the wording is long and complex on most bills so it will be made very clear
what person could be detained.

No American citizen on US soil is going to be detained without proper due process.
That means a trial.

Bush is an idiot, but would you rather have the muslims or North Koreans in charge?

No, but couldn't you aim for something a little higher? Hell, I'd say even Bush Sr was probably better...

What did the article have to do with us? I didn't see anything in there on autism or aspergers.

Well, I and Bazza get to be the Leaders of the Parties in Australia.

I'll take Labour, and he'll take the coalition....
