Reply #30: A Healthy Democracy

[humbled_opinion]

What I personally think we saw unfold was a healthy democray in action. Bush made a decision to do something that he argued he had the power to do. SCOTUS took up a case and found that Bush made the wrong decision. Bush wants Congress to make a law in his favor. Congress will take the matter up and now the debate.

Debate:

1. Are we at war?
2. Are human rights being violated?
3. Define enemy combatant.
4. How do we treat/try enemy combatants?
5. Were we justified going into Iraq?


What tires me out most is when Brush says he is going to do whatever he wants because thats what America wants him to do. He invokes the will of the people argument however, when America is asked via the polls and the media if that is what they really want then the majority seem to answer no.

So in my view the only way to stop the atrocities is to take control.
