Or, if you are an originalist, just white American males.
With property.
Lovely, that would make him a sociopath then. He’s needs to be institutionalized as he’s a danger to himself or others.
I’d go with sociopathic cunt myself.
No – cunts are both useful and give pleasure.
Well, the Supreme Court has made its decision.
Now let them enforce it.
Bush to the genocidal monster Andrew Jackson. An apt comparison. Except Andrew Jackson wasn’t dumb as bag of rocks.
Because the majority of Americans either don’t care or actively approve of it.
What makes you think he doesn’t ? I have no problem imagining Bush watching torture scenes in the Oval Office, complete with surround sound, while he smirks at his victims in satisfaction. Probably masturbating.
The result will be simple - Gitmo will close and future prisoners will no longer be kept on anything approximating US soil. The case hinged on the fact that Gitmo is effectively America. All they have to do is keep the prisoners in Iraqi and Afghani locations and the rights are gone.
And this is an example of American’s delusion that their system is working.
I have a problem with imagining it. shudder Thanks for that lovely image. :eek:
Seriously, though, I don’t think he’s gleeful-I think he just doesn’t give a shit. Which to my mind, makes him even worse.
As I’ve discovered recently, the average American doesn’t believe in inalienable rights for Muslim Americans, that’s for sure.
The article didn’t mention it, and no one here has talked about it - could someone tell me if this ties in with the Patriot Act at all? I’m not sure I understand the difference between the Military Commissions Act of 2006 and the Patriot Act.
No.
They are different pieces of legislation. They are not directly related.
I see you’re not quite aware of Weirddave’s political erm…leanings.
Makes Papa Doc a toddler by comparison.
Just out of curiosity, what did the dissenters in this case say? Did they have any actual law to back them up?
(I know I can read the ruling, but not being lawyer, I can’t understand the merits, or lack thereof, of legal arguments.)
The Bush Administration has brought up three versions of laws designed to combat terrorism. All three have been either modified/struck down/or altered. Today’s decision is just the latest of the three.
The final resolution of today’s decision will be resolved under a new administration. McCain has signaled he supports the current Bush version of the law that was struck down today. Obama has signaled he supports the views of the five justices who reversed the law(thank Og).
Stay tuned.
Bush, then, is a Sociopathic Ann Coulter, which is neither.
I can’t wait for January, so we can get rid of him and that smirky asshole Cheney.
Seven years’ delay, that’s what.
The Supreme Court did its job.
Now let Congress do theirs.
If it fails, let McCain be one of the toadies to vote against impeachment.
It will not backfire, Democrats. Now is the time.
