Federal courts cannot rule on matters concerning the executive branch. Only the unitary executive can determine which laws apply to the executive branch. If anyone wants to dispute this they are completely welcome to do so. In a court. Which they contend has no juristiction over them. Get it? This is such bullshit! There is no law or ruling that Bush will not ignore. How do you enforce a ruling on someone who contols the military? Ask the people of Pakistan.

They will cover neither in depth. The corporate masters of the MSM will pull the plug on these stories shortly and all Repub candidates will receive their orders to say no more about it. As for the Dems? They will be shouted down by the likes of Tweedy and Orally each time they try to bring this up. One or two shouts should be enough to shut them up on it permanently. They are all sooooo delicate, don't cha know. No, these stories will dissappear within a week and we'll be back to John Edwards hair and Hillary's cleavage. Kinda tough to get to the truth when every news outlet in the country is run by rabid Neocon conservative(read corrupt) Republikans.

They're bad people and must be killed so that the multi-national oil corps can steal their oil and enslave their population. It's the American way.

it really is just about the money. The U.S. now has an all-war economy. If not for weapons and weapon systems, the U.S. would be in a recession. It's good to build your country on the backs of dead Iraqis, yes?

gay? Mike Huckster is gay. Just look at him. I guess it's the compensation thing. They look for the most tough-talking bunch around to prop up their manliness. They act overly authoritarian to prop up their manliness. It's really wierd. About the Dumond thing, Republicans don't care as long as the victim was a Democrat. I seriously doubt that this will even ruffle their feathers. They are a bloodthirsty lot and as soon kill someone as look at them. To prop up their manliness.

It's obvious that the entire Democratic leadership and most of the Democratic members of congress are in on the crime. Whether they are being intimidated or are participating willingly, they are activly and knowingly enabling this CRIMINAL Republican party to rape and pillage the United States. They will call for investigations and then do nothing. They will cover for their Republican collegues on all fronts. The Dems, especially Pelosi, are just as criminal as Bush and Cheney if not more so. Face it, we, the people, are at the mercy of an army of theives not seen since Gengis Khan. We are literally at war with our own government. And we have lost. Welcome to the United Police State of America where everybody gets their own personal Gov-Cam to keep an eye on them so they will be 'safe'. RIP America.

Bush doesn't care about the military. He doesn't care about this country. The only thing I really hope he cares about right now is staying out of prison because that is where he and every other Republican in this country belong. So it doesn't matter what the military thinks or what ANYONE thinks. Bush is King and congress is impotent. We are at the 'mercy' of a madman. A madman with nukes.

is who COULD NOT beat any of the Rethuglican criminals?

they let you write this article. Everytime I try to use the 'J' word or the 'I' word in comments on most blogs, I get shut down. Hope you don't lose your job over this article.

waterboarding of each candidate to find out what they REALLY think about all this religion stuff. I wonder how long The Huckster could hold out before abandoning christ and all his teachings? After all, according to the president's spokesmodel, it's safe and legal. According to Kit Bond, it even sounds like it could be fun! So let's get 'em all in front of a TV camera and find out the 'truth'. Oh, and here's a new slogan for the Republicans come election time:

Torture Works-Vote Republican.

How can a person who can't even control her campaign contol the country? Hillary=Bush.

between the jackels and the lambs. Guess which one will be dining on our flesh? Thanks, Nancy, you do such a 'heck' of a job, you should be heading FEMA. Disgraceful.

I realize that civilization as we know it will end if Barry Bonds is convicted of anything. Joan, this is the longest article I have seen from you in a long time. Why is this so important? Why is Darfur not important? Why is Harry Reid's violation of his oath of office not important? Joan, I guess you're just another hack. How sad.

It can be bought and sold. It can be marketed. It can be molded to fit a narrative. That is the trouble with truth. Besides, now that GWB has made truth unfashionable, the Republican that can lie best and most and be the most blatant about it will surely win the nom. You see, Republicans can't handle the truth. Correction, Republicans fear the truth. It's the one thing that would land them at The Hague. Sometimes I really wish we had an opposition party.

You are a patriot. I don't know if we can win this war against the Republican machine but just knowing that you're calling them on their bullshit gives me hope. Happy New Year.
