Are Republicans Concerned about the Scenario they are Setting Up for a Potential Bill/Hillary Presidency?

Question

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.

Answer 1

Great point, they should be careful what they ask for when it comes to government accountability. Any Administration has the potential for abuse of power, no matter the party they hail from. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Just a side note to wingshooter:
Maybe you could figure out why she's not in jail if you bothered to check into that b.s. you keep posting about the Black Panthers. It was debunked a long time ago. The truth might help when it comes to your question.

Answer 2

Follow the law, whatever it is. And apply it evenly.

I just want the same rules to apply to all.

I don't believe any executive has to hand over everything to the Congress . . . just as the Congress doesn't have to hand over everything to the President.

I don't have all the details on this case, or the law. So let the process work itself out.

If Hillary Clinton has this power too, I won't like it. But the remedy is not to vote for her, not to take the power away from all presidents.

I wouldn't want her to appoint judges either, but I think any president does have that power.

Answer 3

I'm not really worried about Hillary getting elected. I don't see it happening. but I do have a few questions for ALL of the politicians currently serving in an elected office...not just Republicans.

Answer 4

Gee, unanswerable executive branch. Kind of sounds like totalitarianism (dictatorship) doen't it?

Answer 5

No, but I am not sure why Hiliray isn't in prison!
Conveniently Forgotten Facts. -- Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers
decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die.

Rackley was suspected of disloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair.
Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among
other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing
Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put
a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river
about 25 miles north of New Haven Connecticut.

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black
Panthers? In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the
Killers was still in jail. The shooter,Warren Kimbro, managed to get a
scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He
later became an assistant dean at an eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't
that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's
head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant
College dean! Only in America !

Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the water
for Mr. Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a
California School Board.

How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it
was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of
the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale
University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers
during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan
Lee.

Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He is
not a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the United
States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none
other than Bill Clinton.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other notable
Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now
an assistant college dean? No, neither!

The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale
University at the time. She is now known as the "smartest woman in the
world." She is none other than the Democratic Senator from the state of
New York ----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham
Clinton .

Answer 6

I find all of the damp panties at the thought of Bill the Molester
back as President hilarious..

Clinton is not President anymore..get your facts straight please..besides he cannot argue before the Supreme Court anyway..he is a felon and disbarred.

Answer 7

they don't care. they know their time is up. watching this campaign is like watching the harlem globetrotters. you never actually think the opposition is going to win. sure it's funny to watch, but the outcome is never in doubt. hillary can't loose if she's lives until '08

Answer 8

I think the current President is more worried about criminal charges than precedent at this point.
That '100 years of single party rule' plan seems to be crumbling fast. All cronied up and no place to go...

Answer 9

concerned?..naw...scared to death of what would happen to our country?...oh heck yes+
