How is the use of "executive privlege" (a theoretical power at best) any excuse to not follow the laws of the land? Since one of GWB's major campaign platforms was that he was a man of the people, should he not be subjected to the same standards of law as the rest of us?

This seems to be an egregious abuse of power on his part. I'm sure I will get people on here flaming the boards because they blindly follow the GOP, regardless of the legality of their actions, but how can any Republican back this action?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

We have broken both aspects of this. We strip free exercise of religion out of schools and courthouses while at the same time several states have "marriage amendments" to their consitutions that are based only on religious beliefs. How does this make any sense?

It was Kennedy's bill when it had a chance of passing.

Don't get me wrong, Bush supported it enthusiastically and deserves the further loss of aproval. But it was Kennedy and McCain that cobbled it together behind closed doors and introduced it.

A Constitutional Showdown is looming over Executive powers. Bush/Cheney are trying to make the Executive branch practically unanswerable to anyone. This could have far reaching implications for a Democratic Presidency combined with a Democratic majority in Congress. I hope you Republicans are ready for this storm that may hit you in the not-too-distant future.

I was previously criticized for having too negative an outlook on our future. I do believe there still is hope, we haven't gone past the point of no return. But are cons living in a fool's paradise?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_virtues

and the virtues outline good behavior guidelines

therefore by logical progression, those that besmirch, slander and defame "liberalism", are agents of evil acting against the desires of God - correct?

OK, a courthouse in New Orleans is being sued by the ACLU into having a painting of Jesus taken down:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286495,00.html

Now, the debate is this: The painting shows quotes from Jesus about judging people properly. So, since this is technically not a religious image, why should it be taken down? If it were a picture of George Washington with the same quotes, there would be no controversy.

According to the government, it is just a picture of a man with quotes about the judicial system on it. So why should it be taken down?

Some may argue for "Separation of Church and State", but as the painting shows no religious quotes, I don't see how this is an issue.

American democracy is respected for its strength of values in global peace and universal brotherhood. and some of the great leaders maintained that spirit in the past. Truly, it is in the hands of the enlightened electorate to seek and ensure that past glory and leadership.

Mindless Cons start criticizing Bush now when weeks earlier they defended him to the death...

The mindless lemming Cons have responded in synch to the directions of their brainwashers : Coulter, Hannity, Rush etc etc...

It's like watching a bunch of retards attempt synchronized swimming.

I look at questions on yahoo answers, and many of them are bashing bush, hardly anyone gives him a thumbs up. If so many people hate bush, why did they reelect him.
