He’s real consistent that way.

And after all, Bush isn’t swarthy at all.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, SIDHE!

Happy New Year, folks. I’ve folded a couple hundred cranes today, and hopefully that’s enough to bring a little peace into each of our lives for a day or so. After that, it’s probably up to the President.
Cherish it while ya got it, gang.

Thank all of you for allowing me to be a part of your dysfunctional family in ‘05. You are, without a doubt, the dysfunctional family I never had. Keep in mind that right-wing families are perfect! And that can kind of suck sometimes.

Because he’s an American, and Americans (not, of course, including liberals) are, by definition, not dictators, terrorists, invaders, or torturers.

I found this site linking to powerline and seemingly advocating just that, if a bit tongue in cheek.

At least, I hope he’s being tongue in cheek.

Yeah, I thought not. Thanks, anyway.

They’re both lawyers, so the question is where did the writer get his law degree, in a box of Cracker Jack?

BTW, the reason the R’s haven’t started pushing for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment is that if they did, Clinton could run again, and he’d beat Bush bloody, Diebold notwithstanding.

So they’ve got to go the Military emergency/ martial law route. I would expect that to start developing in late 2007.

Yeah, that’s right, gimme my tinfoil

The final question, of course, is what would happen if the President and the Supreme Court should disagree about the constitutional scope of the President’s national security powers. The President has the right and duty to interpret and apply the Constitution to the same degree as the Supreme Court. In a situation like this one, where the President is not asking the federal courts to enforce his view of his constitutional authority through, e.g., a criminal prosecution, it may be that the President could, and should, disregard an opinion of the Supreme Court that he regards as erroneous, as Lincoln did with regard to Chief Justice Taney’s habeas corpus order during the Civil War.

Um, I thought it was the fucking JUDICIAL BRANCH of the government that interprets the laws, and the executive enforces them. Ben Franklin told me so.

Carried out to its anti-logical conclusion, why don’t we just get rid of those branches…nah, appendices of government and have the President rule over all? John Stossel would love the tax money that will save!

I think ButtBreaker is in a lower class of lawyers than the injury lawyers advertised during Maury and Jerry Springer. If that’s possible…

Fables, Brown Shirts, Whiteboy Whine,

Tweed, Boobies, Fraud’s Way…

He’s George’s alone, but luckily for you…
If you find a wingnut to love,
Only one wingnut to love,
Then he’ll be That Wingnut too…
That Wingnut!
