I have been holding my tongue on that ...sm
It is interesting though. These were Bush, Reagan, Ford and Clinton appointees that made this decision (5-3). And I see where the right is upset, but to me it is pivotal that they followed the law and not beliefs and I'll tell you why.
Charles Lane, writer for the Washington Times wrote (see link below), *Brushing aside administration pleas not to second-guess the commander in chief during wartime, a five-justice majority ruled that the commissions, which were outlined by Bush in a military order on Nov. 13, 2001, ***were neither authorized by federal law nor required by military necessity, and ran afoul of the Geneva Conventions.*** As a result, no military commission can try Salim Ahmed Hamdan, the former aide to Osama bin Laden whose case was before the justices, or anyone else, unless the president does one of two things he has resisted doing for more than four years: operate the commissions by the rules of regular military courts-martial, or ask Congress for specific permission to proceed differently.*
Looking at it this way, *Bush* NOT the Supreme Court, has held this up for four years when he could have done the prior one or two things. No president can just willy nilly make up things as he goes without going through the proper channels. This case is no different. Checks and balances is taught in elementary nowadays. I predict as he ways he will, he will get with Congress and they will collectively make a decision on something that will bring the POWs to justice (wishful thinking).
Do I want to see bin Laden's assistant, or any other war criminals walk? No, especially not the perpetrators in the 9-11 attacks. That's something I do not want to see come of this decision, but we must respect our own democracy in seeking justice.
This is just my opinion of what I understand is going on with the decision. If anyone can shed some more light on it I'd appreciate it. Have a good holiday weekend!
lol....I like how she sticks her tongue out at the end.

Did you stick your tongue out at me too?

Tongue firmly in cheek, please
Okay, I just checked out the website and have come to the conclusion that the whole thing is indeed a joke. Somebody's got WAAAY too much time on their hands (funny if you read it in the right frame of mind, scary if you take it seriously).
Sometimes comments are made tongue in cheek....
like Obama saying (in response to comment about Bill Clinton being the first "black President:" he would have to see Clinton dance to see if he was really a "brotha." Imagine the bruhaha if Rush Limbaugh said that.
That being said...again I invite people to check out Obama's church and his pastor. The pastor has made several racist comments, not only about whites in general, but Jews in particular. Jesse Jackson has as well. There are a host of black racists out there. The pastor is a great admirer of Louis Farrakhan (the pastor). They don't come much more racist than Louis Farrakhan.
And, frankly...Rush Limbaugh is not running for President. Barack Hussein Obama IS.
I would think his ties to racism would worry a person much more than a talk show host.
Many times I think Rush Limbaugh is over the top; however, he is also very astute and makes some very good points...if he did not, liberals would not hate him to the degree they hate him. The same people who decry him laud people on the other side...but I guess as long as it is conservatives being made fun of vs liberals...that is acceptable? Sigh. Sometimes the truth pinches...sometimes it downright hurts.
The only thing sam exercises is forked tongue
su
Tongue firmly in cheek during that post....
after we have all been regaled here about why we should not be judgmental and be more open-minded like Barry from Chicago and the Europeans...LOL...well, the worm is turning it looks like. More power to him...at least he walks the walk as well as talks the talk. More than I can say for Barry from Chicago. lol. ;-)
I'm pretty sure that Pope post was tongue in cheek.
not biting....go away your snide little tongue in check post.....nm
Ever heard of tongue in cheek? Am adding comments
meant as a spoof, OT. Were I serious about this, then it would not be a case of tongue in cheek...rather foot in mouth.
Tongue in cheek political parody meant to mock
is generally not meant to be taken as fact. Those among us who actually stop and think before we post pretty much know this. BTW, please take your foot out of your mouth. It's not a pretty sight.
I'll bite, how many?
Okay, I'll bite
Why not be just plain old everyday American? I'm curious how you know the human race originated in Africa? Some might disagree with you. Me? I don't know, don't care either since I wasn't there.
As for me, I call myself an American, an American-Mutt if you prefer. As for race........I'm Caucasian....no better or worse than you African-Americans or Negros. Technically I guess I'm Irish-German-Cherokee Indian-American. I've never seen Ireland or Germany but I frequent the Cherokee Nation..........particularly their casinos.LOL
Sorry...this fish won't bite!
:p
Okay, I'll bite
Do you have any information on this program where everyone can attend a university for free? Where does the money come from. I am not being argumentative, just curious.
but i dont even bite!
i promise
You deduced a lot from a 4-second sound bite!
I'm sure your opinions are not soley based on that one sound bite, and the assertion that shoulder rubbing is *groping.*
I'll tell ya what's pathetic it's the fact that the liberals think that Middle East situation disintegrated during the Bush administration. The Middle East has been unstable for years, eons in fact.
This is ridiculous but I'll bite
You state that an opinion is not bashing.
I think you are mentally ill. That is my opinion.
I think you and your friends are playground bullies with the maturity of my 5-year-old. That is my opinion.
I think the far-right Republican party has an agenda which will destroy this country. That is my opinion.
Hey, that's not bashing right? Just an opinion, right?
End of story. You guys don't play fair and what's more, you are truly nasty people. Just an opinion!!!!
Okay, I'll bite. What Republicans? sm
Read it word for word and didn't see the word Republican one time.
I love this sound bite
My husband had me listen to it. It's a riot. (It's political that's why it's here).

okay - Kaydie - I bite - what was your post?
I am white - but I have a black husband, 4 biracial stepchildren, 2 biracial grandchildren, 2 black brother-in-laws, and 4 biracial nieces and nephews. So I am definitely not racist, but sometimes I say things that get taken that way.
I am an Obama supporter at this point, but it is most definitely not because he is a black man. I was really sitting on the fence to be honest until McCain picked Palin - and I am sorry, but I just cannot see her in charge of this country and anything good coming out of that...
Karma will always comes back and bite you in the behind.

People like me? I'm sorry but what does probite mean? Bite a pro? really ? nm

Dear Righties: Bite me.
I wish I could attach a sound bite of applause
Thank you so much. Nothing more than an ignor@ant person that does not have the facts correct.
Poster sounds like a bitter (r)epublican upset at the (d)emocrats pick.
OK, I'll bite. What insurance companies and when?
Insurance companies have ALWAYS been a for profit idea. So they need to collect premiums from people who ARE NOT sick to cover the thousands they pay out for someone else who IS sick. So how is this going to work? Like I said, if this becomes a reality, I for one am going to immediately drop my coverage until such time as I need it. Unless their other healthy customers are stupid, they are going to do the same. So then the only people who will be paying insurance premiums are the ones who are also using their policies to fund their heart transplants, chemotherapy, whatever. Take a guess what their premiums are going to be.
Wanting to see W and his party bite the dust
half (and probably more like 60%) of Americans seem to share. By your (il-)logic, that makes them all jihadists? At least 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died behind W's war of lies. We are making air strikes into 2 other soverign nations in the midst of a tanking republican presidential campaign. Ever hear of a war of attrition...the kind that wears down a nation from the inside because of the economic drain it places on its population? From where I sit, W played right into the hands the terrorist dealt. Continuation of such saber-rattling imperialism makes terrorist predictions a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Bombing countries into democracy, illegal occupations, kangaroo trials and lynching of leaders who do not bend to US will which fail to follow their OWN rule of law, military presence in defiance of overwhelming popular mandates that seek to take back control of their own country, flagrant disregard for human rights, clandestine interrogations, torture and humiliation of POWs not afforded the benefit of a trial, selective stateside vote suppression that overwhelming favors the party that is on its way out and the litany of other such violations of our historic basic principles make a MOCKERY of our own claims to be the greatest democracy on the face of the earth.
Live by example. It's simple. If we are not able to live up to and be accountable for our own basic tenants, we will self-destruct with or without any help from FUTURE leaders.
sound bite from barbara bush's remarks
Here is the sound bite from Barbara Bush (it actually was on The Drudge Report!)
Here's the clip. Let them try and spin it however they want. Her callous words cannot be denied. These are heartless group of elitists:
