Should McCain get into office, he will turn his back on conservatives faster than you could ever imagine. If you’re hoping he’s going to turn all of this around, particularly with the way he feels about POW’s, torture, illegal immigrants, etc., you’re going to be sadly mistaken.

This country is so far beyond any political solution to its problems right now it’s frightful.

Now it is more important to elect McCain. All we need is two additional seats on SCOTUS and this sham of ruling can be overturned.

Really, Mike? And what does that make everyone on this site who refers to Senator Hussein, Obamessiah, Obambi, Obamarama, and Obamalamadingdong (I made the last one up)? I think Steve has the double standard call right.

BTW, when the SCOTUS finds an executive order or a Congressional law unconstitutional it is not usurping power, it is exercising its responsibility (and concommitant power) to check overreaching on the part of the Executive and Legislative branches. Without that check, we would potentially be at the mercy of mob rule by the Congress or despotism by the President.
You may disagree with the Court’s decision, but the system is operating as so brilliantly planned by the Founding Fathers. Also I note that three of the five justices in the majority were appointed by Republican presidents. Guess you need a more foolproof litmus test.

The Constitution is what it is – the law of the land. Your king Bush decided he was the law of the land; and the SCOTUS shot him (and you) down.

You are under the mis’impression that this was a 9-0 call, Fred. It was 5-4, and serious dissention in judicial interpretations. So that “law” ain’t so clear cut as you think.

BTW, laws are changed in this country all the time for various reasons. Now, with this decision, we’ll have to see if both the DTA and MCA are even in effect as Constitutional. The Supremes have taken a clear procedural path, as laid out by Congress in both those acts, and turned the due process to pure mud.

Ay…

Considering how freely you toss around personal insults, isn’t this a case of the pot calling…..

But then, when you toss out insults, it’s DIFFERENT, isn’t it?

What’s this obsession with meds, professional help etc? Could it be complete projection on your part?

Next thing You will probably hear leftwing extremists starting to demand that all the “black prisons” the US have warpri… in overseas (eh, I forgot… “unlawfull combatants” is the newspeach for those prisons, so we dont misstake them for, say blackwater soldiers who all is in it for their patriotism), should also be forced to obey pesky things like human rights and anti-torture laws….

The end of civilisation (or neocons, pretty much the same thing) is near!

P.S. Fred: You marked yourself as a fool with your “King Bush” remark.

Please seek professional help now. You think you know what Kennedy means? You think? Sir, you do not think. The Constitution is what it is – the law of the land. Your king Bush decided he was the law of the land; and the SCOTUS shot him (and you) down. We live in a democracy where you cannot change the law because you are scared silly. Please be brave – your children are watching you. They don’t want a pussy for a parent. Find your courage.
