This is too funny except for the fact that Obama DOJ lawyers are the ones arguing it. Link at sig.

Very interesting information. I'm wondering how it translates into action. Do most of those people have any idea they could be detained without charges? Would that matter? Don't get me wrong, I think it's hopeful there are significant numbers of people that feel that way, I just don't know where it gets us. Seems the government has made a habit of ignoring the "will" of the people. Probably because they know they can get away with it.

can we call it the "unitary executive" yet? I think the problem here is that Obama and his team know that only a fairly small percentage of people follow these issues and can be easily disregarded. I imagine a lot of people are just worried about having a job at this point.

they're coming to get us. He's just trying to keep us safe. Right? What about the meteors? I want action on protection from meteors since you are more likely to be killed by one than by a terrorist.

Obama blocks access to WH visitor logs. This whole "transparency" thing is going down the shitter. WTF? Story at sig.

You can crawl back under your bed and crap your pants now. Oooh scary brown people on the loose.

Because of course that is more likely than being killed by a "terrorist." Maybe I'll play the lottery, the odds are probably better.

You got NOBBY right in the nuts. Beautiful.

I really want to believe in Obama as well. However, the things he is saying and doing lead me in another direction. I'll reserve my final judgment until election day 2012 but at this point I'm not particularly hopeful.

You really are off the rails. You so desperately want to believe that Obama is good and gracious that you can't even hear the words that he spoke. You remind me of the Kevin Bacon character in Animal House who is running around screaming "All is well" while mayhem ensues. Good luck with that.

Yeah, I didn't see one either. So basically American citizens can be "indefinitely detained" if decreed to be "too dangerous." Remind me again who makes the decree? Oh right, the King....er I mean President. Anyone been watching the Tudors? King Henry the 8th all over again. Great.

spelled his name wrong again! It's gonna get ugly. ;-)

That is their frickin' job. By releasing pictures, somehow this will magically put them in more danger? Bullshit.

I think the the part to focus on here is "crimes." If I rob a bank I don't think they are going to let bygones be bygones. Do you?

Who you calling out of line buddy? Don't make me come over there wherever there is located. Because I will, really. OK, not really. But I have to admit calling him that name was a way of expressing my exasperation. I should just stop replying probably. Point taken.

I would push for prosecution of whoever violates the law. Unlike Republicans who thing it's only illegal if Democrats do it. Classic! As for name calling, if the moniker fits....

It's still about the law dickhead. Why do you have such disregard for the law?

It's not "unpopular opinions" it's the law. Remember that? It started getting seriously disregarded about.....2001. What a coincidence. Say, where you been hidin'? Trollin' elsewhere with your nonsensical comments I guess.

When are you going to stop repressing your sexuality and just come out of the closet? Just do it already. I'm betting you'll like it. ALOT!

Yeah, that's the ticket!

At least with Herpes you might get a kiss before being screwed.

National Bullshit News I think fits perfectly well there. Bravo!

Damned Jedi mind tricks! Nobody told me Obama was Jedi too. Seriously though how the hell does this happen? It really is like they've been programmed. Scary shit.

Very Tinfoilyish! I like it though! You ever see that show connections on PBS? Maybe no one has made the connections yet.

It was a great show for awhile. At first I liked it for the medicine then just for the character drama. RIP.

See article at sig. Oh right, can't trust that Nobel prize winning economist can we because he's a fucking "liberal" right?

The deficits under Reagan were huge. Get a clue and see link at sig.

bizarro-world? Up is down, black is white. Stop this fucking thing I wanna' get off.

Is that the only way you know how to argue, by demonizing the other side? That's just fucking lame.

You're new(ish) here, right? Great fun isn't it?

This article is pretty saddening. Although I guess this is just an extension of watching wars on CNN. Link at sig.

In sentencing the nazi criminals to death he states "if certain acts of violations of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them....to pass these defendants a poisoned chalice is to put it to our own lips as well." Eloquent. However, the wording of the "crimes" was crafted to exclude war crimes clearly committed by the US and it's allies. Admiral Doenitz successfully used the argument that we had done it too and therefore were not crimes. He was acquitted on many of the charges. History is fun! Too bad nobody can remember it.

Otherwise these trolls seem to be breeding like.....

Out loud even. Let's see, I served in the Air Force during Grenada so does that qualify me to speak? Probably not. Hmmmph.
