Sen. Patrick Leahy points out just how extreme and dangerous are the powers of permanent detention to be bestowed on the president.
  • The existence of this proposal by the president...

    ...should be grounds for impeachment. And as much as I despise the power-crazed Republicans who dreamed it up and are now trying to ram it down our throats, if the Democrats do not have the balls to stand up--FINALLY--after 5 years of cowering and say, "Enough!" then I will never vote Democrat again. Ever.
