8. How about this line from the Jusge - "sElection" is now out front
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 08:15 AM by autorank
""Once the House asserts exclusive jurisdiction and selects a candidate," From the article and the North County Times, Judge Yuri Hoffman.

"selects" Give me a break. We've enshrined Bush v. Gore in a way that is turly disgusting to
the founding fathers. I'm in one of the states of the founding father's and I'll tell you that when you see this or that named after Jefferson, Madison, or Mason, it does cause you to pause and think...how low we've come to have a government based on the rapacious philolosphy of the neoconservatives. That's why I reference Bruce Fein AND Al Gore. Fein was a Reagan appointee in the Justice Department and he's all over * and company calling them on their dictatorial ways.

Contemporary experts as diverse as Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and one of the foremost scholars of the conflict between the demands of national security and the Constitution, and Bruce Fein, a key player in Ronald Reagan's Justice Department, have identified the Bush Administration's wiretapping as a dangerous assault on our basic freedoms. Turley says, "What the President ordered in this case was a crime." Fein adds that Bush is claiming "more power than King George III had at the time of the Revolution, in asserting the theory that anything the President thinks is helpful to fighting the war against terrorism he can do."


Time to stand up and call them what they are - tyrants.
