ROHRABACHER: Well, I'll tell you something, if a nuclear weapon goes off in Washington, DC, or New York or Los Angeles, it'll burn the Constitution as it does. So I'm very happy we have a president that's going to wiretap people's communication with people overseas to make sure that they're not plotting to blow up one of our cities.
Mr. Rohrbacker doesn't need to worry about the Constitution -- he just set fire to it, in public, then wiped his ass with the unburnt pieces.

LA PAZ (AFP) - Bolivia remained calm on the eve of a hotly contested election that could choose the country's first indigenous president and sharply alter its political and economic landscape.
As one of the candidates took the day off to climb an Andean peak and another played racquetball, 50,000 soldiers and police officers were being mobilized to ensure that Sunday's vote proceeds peacefully.
None of the three presidential contenders was expected to gain an absolute majority in the voting, putting the focus on Congress, which will have to choose between the two leading vote-getters.

Radioactive material more than 50,000 times safe levels has been uncovered at a chemical factory in the Chechen capital Grozny, threatening a "catastrophic situation" to the local population, according to the prosecutor general.
Russian television said the radiation detected at the plant in Grozny's south-western outskirts was about half the level recorded at the Chernobyl plant after the 1986 explosion. The prosecutor said the plant management was taking no steps to remove radioactive material or restrict access to the factory, and a criminal investigation had been opened.

and after you've made that decision, why is it counterproductive to get a warrent? what extreme circumstance is there that outweighs the constitution?
i hope it isn't just trivial disregard of thew law. because that would be wrong.

bob barr on gay rights:
he hates gays, but is consistent on limits on federal power.
NEWSWEEK: You authored the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, but you’ve come out against an amendment to the constitution banning same-sex marriage. Why is that?
Bob Barr: Because I believe very strongly in federalism and that is that the federal government should not be stepping in and dictating social policy to the states. The Defense of Marriage Act was crafted very narrowly. Despite very strong pressure to make it a proactive piece of legislation, I crafted it very narrowly simply to define marriage for federal-law purposes and to make sure that states were protected to make up their own mind. And I continue to believe that that is the best policy.

Later in the article, Rohrabacher claimed that:
•Taliban leaders are "not terrorists or revolutionaries."
•Media reports documenting the Taliban’s harsh, radical beliefs were "nonsense."
•The Taliban would develop a "disciplined, moral society" that did not harbor terrorists.
That hack isn't known to be a moron of the highest order for nothing. No wonder he finds Boosh inspiring. Heh.

It was thinking like this that got Barr booted from elected office. The Repubs would not support him anymore because he did stand for Constitutional rights and right to privacy.
There were a couple of others swept away during that purge, but I can't recall one as vocal about it as Barr is.

What's wrong with it is several-fold. One, it's bad policy for our government to be spying on American citizens through the National Security Agency. Secondly, it's bad to be spying on Americans without court oversight. And thirdly, it's bad to be spying on Americans apparently in violation of federal laws against doing it without court order.
Two questions: Who is this man? And what has he done to Bob Barr??

Some of you have been wondering whether AnnieAngel and friends are "parody" trolls. If by parody troll you mean that she doesn't actually believe what she is saying then, yes she doesn't believe a word of what she is saying. In fact, I don't think that she's even a she. More likely "she's" a seventeen-year-old boy with time to kill on a Saturday afternoon.
But she's not really a parody troll because you aren't supposed to be in on the joke. The joke is in getting responses. She is a classic troll. Post something over the top and watch people respond.
So YHBT. YHL. HAND.
I can say all of this with supreme confidence because as someone used to read Pandagon's comments, I remember this guy* who is part of the little ring of blogs that includes annieangel and shoelimpy. These are probably all from the same kid or from a group of friends (apparently from Tampa Bay) who like to troll blogs.
One thing about liberals: they are so insipidly moronic and incapable of rational thinking, that they are unable to actually debate the intellectual merits of conservative positions. Seeing as this is the case, the only, and I mean the only resort they have left is to try to attack the character of the conservatives they are debating. This despite the fact that we all know liberals are degenerate, homosexual, lying, atheistical, thieving, embezzling, drunk, stoned, whore-mongering, unpratiotic dead-heads. Where in the hell do they get the hutzpah to challenge the morality and character of conservatives? I mean really, it's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of, beside the fact that liberals exist in the first place.

Pay no attention to the fact that shiites comprise 70% of iraq (and 70% turned out to vote) meaning that only 21% of the population of sunni's voted... Now what are the chances that this 70% turnout voted STRONGLY in favor of the sunni's?
It's gonna make the voting fraud of the 40s, 50s and 60s in the south seem like child play.

I'm still waiting for the Summer's Eve commercial where, when the young woman asks her mom if she ever gets that "not so-fresh feeling", Mom responds by saying, "HELL yes, sometimes I feel like I've got a ROAD KILL between my legs!!"

On October 29, 1971, Duane was leaving a birthday party for Linda Oakley at the Big House in Macon, GA. He swerved to avoid a flatbed truck that had pulled out in front of him from the oncoming lane and his bike went down on him as he tried to avoid the truck. The accident site is near the corner of Hillcrest and Bartlett. He died 2 hours later on the operating table. The rest the information in your question is incorrect. The album name Eat a Peach came from a quote Duane gave during a radio interview. The DJ asked him if he did anything in terms of protest. Duane said, "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace."

Bob Barr has been a card-carrying ACLUer for years now. I think he joined right after 9/11.
And Rohrabacher was also one of the goons who helped pimp the bogus anti-Clinton fauxgate known as "Chinagate". That is, when he wasn't busy cuddling up to the Taliban.
I despise Barr, but I can grudgingly respect him, because Barr will put country over party (or even himself) on occasion. But Rohrabacher is a totally amoral sack of shit, and spends damned near every hour of every day proving it. My biggest hope right now is that he gets sucked into the burgeoning Cunningham scandal -- you know that clown has got to have dirty fingers.

Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet
Sexy boys smiled in dismay
She took out four twenties, 'cause she liked brown figures
Everybody screamed for a day
Oh, babe, I'm on fire and, you know that I admire your body
Why don't we slip away - hey
Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin'
She la la la this way - hey
Oh sha la la la la - sha la la la - hey
Baby, come on, let's slip away
Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle
Call out the National Guard
She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her knees
From off of the formica topped board
And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly
Out of this world

At this moment, there are many more unprincipled conservatives active in the public sphere, largely because "unprincipled" pays better....
And the principled ones are too busy washing the feet of the poor to write letter to the editor, comment on the internet, call in to talk shows?
I say bullshit. Most self-identified "Conservatives" never believed half of what they spouted, Conservatism was just a mask for monumental self-centeredness. If only 1 in 4 of them actually believed what they said they did during the 90s, we'd be hearing a lot more dissent from the right.

Shinobi: Yeah. The Republicans loved Barr when he was calling for Clinton's impeachment. When he actually started sounding and acting like a Constitutional scholar -- not so much.
Same thing happened with Illinois' last Republican governor. The IL GOP were cool with his corruption and thievery -- it was his decision to end the death penalty that cheesed them off.
And in appointed office, just look at the fate of Tom "Enron" White, Bush's original Secretary of the Army. Bush had no problems at all with White's heading a division of Enron known for its "illusory profits". But when White and Shinseki both loudly opposed Bush's plan to invade Iraq, their days in the Pentagon were numbered.
See, Republicans nowadays are never punished by their peers for doing the wrong thing. It's only when they do the RIGHT things that they get into trouble with their fellow party members.

phoenix woman: did you see this story of the screenplay rohrabacher wrote. some choice dialogue is excerpted in the article. how do these fucking idiots get so far and influential in life. damn:
And now, the plot thickens
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's screenplay is getting buzz, but not what he had in mind. Excerpts reveal the action behind a tangled adventure.
By Robert W. Welkos
Times Staff Writer
December 11, 2005
This is Southern California, where everybody has a screenplay, so why should a U.S. congressman be any different?
However, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's nearly 30-year-old script for a buddy action-adventure flick called "Baja" might have languished obscurely in its own special development hell if not for a sudden burst of unwelcome attention to the alleged con man who optioned the film — little-known producer Joseph Medawar.
After striking a deal with Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) in late 2003, Medawar found himself with the kind of access that would help him pitch another Hollywood project — a TV series about the Department of Homeland Security. The congressman helped introduce Medawar in 2004 to at least five Republican congressmen and staff members at the House of Representatives' Homeland Security Committee, as well as officials in federal law enforcement agencies who briefed Medawar and his crew on the inner workings of the federal government.
Medawar was arrested in September and has pleaded not guilty to a 23-count indictment accusing him of defrauding dozens of people — many of them Orange County and South Los Angeles churchgoers — by selling $5.5 million of stock in his production company, Steeple Enterprises, and spending most of the investors' money on a lavish lifestyle. Rohrabacher, for his part, has said he did nothing improper by introducing Medawar to folks in Washington.

As I said on the previous thread: I can't wait until January 2009 when President Hillary Clinton has these extra-constitutional powers.
No doubt the Freepi will stand on principal and approve.
It's a tricky topic with significant gray areas; do you adhere to the letter of the law no matter what, do you serve your country and protect its citizens no matter what, or do you strike a balance, and if so where and with what rationale?
The problem with the Constitution is that it was written at a time when they couldn't even imagine what today's world would be like, so what they wrote doesn't take modern issues into account. Ask yourself honestly; if the Founding Fathers had been able to see into the future, would they have written the Constitution the same way?
New better than to ever mention it, though. I just grinned and bore it.
There's the chemistry thing too. I always enjoyed oral sex, but qualitatively the gustatory experience differed. I assumed it was simple chemistry. That is, if you were compatible she tasted... well, good (you reading this Annie?) A bad taste was likely a sign of a certain incompatiblity.

Also I work in a teaching hospital, and when I am on the Mother/Baby Unit floor, I can easily distinguish the characteristic of women in labor/childbirth.
To me, none of this is unpleasant - just distinctive.
That would include the testosterone "moments".
I'm sorta funky that way, though. I like the smell of most humans, as long as they are clean. I don;t mean deoderized and perfumed over - just reguilarly bathed, clean folks.

For the Chimp who would be dictator:
You're a mean one, Mr. Chimp.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Chimp.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, Mr. Chimp.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Chimp.
I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
You're a vile one, Mr. Chimp.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Chimp.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile.
You're a foul one, Mr. Chimp.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Chimp.
The three words that best describe you,are, and I quote:
"Stink. Stank. Stunk."
You're a rotter, Mr. Chimp.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Chimp.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, Mr. Chimp.
With a nauseous super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Chimp.
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce.

It's a tricky topic with significant gray areas; do you adhere to the letter of the law no matter what, do you serve your country and protect its citizens no matter what, or do you strike a balance, and if so where and with what rationale?
Its simple. The law does not prohibit them from eavesdropping on people in the interests of National Security. There is a court available where they can go and secretly and quickly get a warrant to do so. They can even start eavesdropping without a warrant so long as they go to the court within three days.
Instead Bush decided that the laws don't apply to him and this administration.
There is no "gray area" here.

Secondly, it's bad to be spying on Americans without court oversight. And thirdly, it's bad to be spying on Americans apparently in violation of federal laws against doing it without court order."
And yet you still have asshats like Assrocket saying that what Bush has done is totally legal. Fucks like him will defend anything Bush does, and lie about it. Assert that it is legal, and it becomes so. It no longer even matters what was done - the only thing that matters is that it was Bush who did it.

Only people who communicate with foreigners should be considered potential terrorists. Real patriotic Americans only communicate with other patriotic Americans, all of whom live within the US. It's those naturalized US "citizens" we have to watch with connections overseas.

Scroll to Sec 314 "Technical Ammendments"
There is, at present, a 72 hour window in which the feds can do WHATEVER they wish WITHOUT A WARRANT before an application for such a warrant must be lodged with FISA.
This renders all arguments relating to the inconvenience of getting warrants when there are only 'minutes to act' or the 'ticking bomb' excuse mute. The arguments do not deserve to be heard.
Prior to 01 the feds had a 24 hour window. Please note that a 72 hour window is actually much more - DOJ can use procedural motions to delay an actual hearing on the warrant for at least another 24 hours.

Great idea. I'm sure those people would be thrilled. Then, one day, one would say something a bit too controversial. So-and-so would hear it and tell another. Soon, the one would be getting a visit from the authorities. One would, of course, be a little nervous and begin to sweat. *I didn't do anything wrong* one would say.
The sweat would be an admission of guilt, and the one would be roughly trotted off for more *questioning*.

There is going to be a criminal investigation of who was responsible in the intelligence agencies, in the Congress, in the staffs for leaking this material to the New York Times. This is a far more serious violation — in the President’s own words — than the Valerie Plame leak. He has got to follow this up with a justice department investigation and I would guess down the road, we are facing again the possibility of those reporters for the New York Times being brought before a grand jury to explain who leaked to them. My view is the Democratic party on Capital Hill many of them were clearly informed. They may try to investigate this, but I tell you that’s not the investigation that folks should not be worried about in this town, this day.

His douchebaggery is eternal.
Terry C. Feminazi Moonbat |
12.17.05 - 8:52 pm | #
This morning Pat Buchanan and Democratic Strategist Julian Epstein appeared on MSNBC to discuss President Bush approving domestic spying. Once again, I agree with Buchanan. It is imperative to our national security that we [as a country] do all that is possible to prevent terrorism. As an average citizen who is not involved in any terrorist activities, I wouldn’t mind being “spied” on — if that’s what you want to call it. If you are not a terrorist, why do you care? It makes me wonder why it is that liberals are upset about this ..

Even more stunning is the trolls, freepers, and the rest of Bush's fellaters thinking there's nothing wrong with it, that it's a great thing.
Awww, hell. They know everything about this Constitution shredding mess is wrong. They just have the worng admin in place to contest it. Do you really think they'd defend Kerry if he went 'round the bend and pulled this shit? Spare me.
It's only a few who support this. And those few are fighting for their very existence.
This is a far more serious violation — in the President’s own words — than the Valerie Plame leak.
You know that covert CIA agent who was working on stopping nuclear weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists?

doug, the pen scanner was a DocuPen. But I'd rather, if it's at all possible, somehow attach an old Logitech 256 ScanMan. The pen scanners - I've got a QuickLink and it's fine for what it is - but the stuff I need to copy really tends to be A4 with multiple scribbles that convey significant information. It's not just text, in other words, in this particular case a true image is actually preferable. A 'copy'.

I care because everyone who speaks against the policies of the Bush administration is labelled a terrorist.
Of course, the majority of the country thinks Bush is an asshole. They can't lock us all up, and making an example of a few will only fuel the fire.

I have had that experience myself - though with persons of your gender, not mine.
And, in everyday relationships that have nothing to do with sexual attraction/repulsion, I find myself feeling positively or nbegatively towards people whose personal odor I dislike.
I love, for example, to sniff deeply and pleasurably of my son, my dtr in law, my g'kids, Mr Deere, my kitties, mt two best friends in all the world. Their "essences" are sweet drugs to me.
Others...not so much. And, some, I want to get away from as quickly and as far away as possible.

And if the media had put as much effort into the surreal Bush presidency as they did Clinton's blowjob, we'd be even closer to impeachment.

Hecate --
When I entered (in 1975) we had five cats (all fixed females) -- Fang was eldest (& biggest) -- she & her two sisters (Bags & # 3 Cat) were all black half Siamese & talked up a storm -- Emma was a malnourished & brain damaged gray & white cat who constantly shed -- Magnificat (probably the best Abbey Cat Name) was also all black -- Fang bullied the others mercilously, especially Emma -- Fang lived into her twenties -- we all said that it was because she refused to die because she knew she was going to cat hell!
BTW -- she died of a stroke (as did Magnificat), Bags of lung cancer (I told her to cut back from two packs a day), #3 Cat was run over (she had bad arthritus & some of us suspected suicide), Emma of Cat leukemia
Finally -- for thise who don't know "Magnificat" is the name of the canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary recorded in St. Luke's Gospel, the name coming from the first word in the Latin translation -- viz. "My soul magnifies the Lord" -- which the monks chant every evening at Vespers

We've all seen those endless Texas Hold 'em poker shows on TV. I think we're now at that "all in" point with the Bush administration and their minions.
With all this bluster the Bushistas are betting everything that another terrorist attack will vindicate their actions and reinvigorate his power base and demonstrate what pussies his critics are.
They're justing waiting for the cards to be flipped. We'll see who wins.

We are all guilty of something. Not stopping at stop signs, jay walking, or whatever. We are all guilty of something. The problem comes when someone with an attitude, grudge, agenda and power can prosecute anyone for those petty crimes. We all end up being afraid. It is very much Orwellian. It has nothing to do with making anyone any safer. It is about unrestricted control. It must stop. We have already seen how out of control it is with the people already detained without any charges

Butterscotch Brownies
Melt in a saucepan 1/4 cup butter. Stir into it until dissolved, 1 cup brown sugar. Cool slightly. Then, beat in, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Sift then measure 1/2 cup bread flour. Resift with 1 teaspoon baking powerder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir these ingredients into the butter misture. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch pan. Bake in a moderate oven 350F for about 30 minutes. Cut into bars.
Watch the cooking time - these can get too hard pretty fast. They don't rise particularly - the brown sugar makes them chewy. One saucepan, one bowl for the flour. Easy!
A POTUS who violates the Constitution he's sworn to uphold, destroys the federal budget and goes to war on phony reasons is what happens when you allow a cretin to steal a presidential election.

You know, we never walked much at EschaCon I (or should it be EschaCon1 -- we have to decide since we are now going to have a EschaCon II or Eschaton 2, as the case may be) -- we need to take some walks!
I hope it meets in Chicago since I like Chicago & it is close which increases my likelihood of getting there (I am expected to attend the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 2006 -- it meets every three years -- there will be big fights about gay & lesbian issues -- we won't back down but it will be ugly -- if there are any praying types here, prayers will be appreciated -- early June 2006)

Jeez, ya see that commercial for McDonalds with Ronald McD crowd surfing?
ADvertising is ridiculous- a damn portfolio contest for agencies. I've been in creative meetings with people coming up with the most horse-shit ideas- then trying to justify their cool idea to the client who wants results more than coolness.
Which is more illegal - lying about a blowjob or spying on thousands of American citizens without a court order?
I can't even find anything brazen enough to compare with promising to continue the illegal spying, and with accusing those who leaked the information of working against US interests while the creep who leaked a CIA agent's identity still works for the White House and has a security clearance.
Three more years of this? Give me a break! How much more does Congress need to see to realize that this President is out of control?

Goodnight sweet Moonbats. Here's a poem for the trolls.
LITANY AGAINST FEAR
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup almonds or macadamia nuts, toasted
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Sift together first 4 ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light in color. Beat in zest and lemon juice. Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg mixture. Add nuts. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Do not overwork dough.
Divide the dough in half, shaping into 2 logs. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Cut logs into 1/2-inch slices. Return to baking sheet and cook until toasted, about 20 to 30 minutes.

I went to a Donocos game once and in the parking lot of Arrowhead I saw a guy with a home-made T-shirt that said "Fuck the Bronocs" and his kid (12 max) had a shirt that said "Denver Sucks". Really classy (but funny as hell, especially after tailgating for a couple of hours).

Faris admitted that upon returning to the US from Pakistan in April 2002, he researched "gas cutters" and the Brooklyn Bridge on the internet.
Between April 2002 and March 2003, he sent several coded messages through another person to a long-time friend in Pakistan, indicating he had been unsuccessful in his attempts to obtain the necessary equipment.
Faris admitted to travelling to New York City in late 2002 to examine the bridge and said he realised the plot to destroy it by severing the cables was unlikely to succeed because of its security and structure.
In early 2003, he sent a message that "the weather is too hot" - a coded message meant to convey that the bridge plot was unlikely to succeed, the officials said.
This is what I got when I googled brooklyn bridge+plot.
Doesn't seem to me like they're super secret wire tap saved the brooklyn bridge after all.

NEW BEDFORD -- A senior at UMass Dartmouth was visited by federal agents two months ago, after he requested a copy of Mao Tse-Tung's tome on Communism called "The Little Red Book."
Two history professors at UMass Dartmouth, Brian Glyn Williams and Robert Pontbriand, said the student told them he requested the book through the UMass Dartmouth library's interlibrary loan program.
The student, who was completing a research paper on Communism for Professor Pontbriand's class on fascism and totalitarianism, filled out a form for the request, leaving his name, address, phone number and Social Security number. He was later visited at his parents' home in New Bedford by two agents of the Department of Homeland Security, the professors said.
The professors said the student was told by the agents that the book is on a "watch list," and that his background, which included significant time abroad, triggered them to investigate the student further. http://www.southcoasttoday.com/d...05/

I still think it was body armor. Either way we will never know since it relates to Chimp's security which is super duper top secret.

Sorry haven't read the thread so this probably repeats comments above.
Barr (?!?!?) makes a very good solid case, but, as quoted, he left out an overwhelmingly strong argument against Bush. Under the FISAct, it is perfectly possible to wiretap without delay.
For example in the blowtorch the Brooklyn Bridge investigation, the illegal NSA wiretap was competing for band width with a perfectly legal FBI wiretap based on a warrant. A case for the clearly illegal program must be based on the claim, not that wiretaps can be good, but that existing legal restrictions make it necessary to break the law.
Since in 2002, at the time the illegal program was authorised, the FISA court had never ever ever denied an application for a warrant (see Josh Marshall http://tinyurl.com/bxxrn) and since the FISA allows for an emergency procedure so that there are no delays while the court considers, it is very very hard to make this case. The law had not imposed any practical restrictions on wire taps at the time that Bush ordered his subordinates to break it.

The Botlon intercepts have to do with monitoring Oil for Food, damage control of Bush contributors who so participated and probably were given some kind of job on payroll to invoke Executive Privilege and the usual disclosure protection awarded Ken lay and the Energy Task force.
Also the Botlon intercepts have to with the attempt to smear the British diplomat who was deep into the Downing Memos.George Galloway was a whistle blower on the war premise fraud.
See also John Conyer's Committee hearing regarding the Downing memos.
There is no love, truth, love or honesty in the press. Is that so fucking HARD?
OK. Is there not amazing apathy for vac and dangeriously ceepy folks?

I very much disliked Bob Barr back in the day, but I have seen him stand up for civil liberties now and not long after 9/11, when he was one of the very few doing so. I don't agree with a lot of his politics, but I have to give him a round of applause for taking on the idiot in the White House over this issue.

Can't believe no one has made the "setting the Barr low" joke. I mean, come on, saying "the president shouldn't violate the consitution" is nice and all, but seems to be pretty much the minimum for running a democratic system.

I know Rohrabacher is one of the wingnuttiest purveyors of wingnuttery in the land, but I'd also bet dollars to donuts that this riff about
"well, unfortunately the Bill of Rights must be set aside until Total Victory in the war against Eurasia, er I mean the 'War on Terror', has been achieved" is more or less the official party line among the Bill Frist/Rick Santorum/Trent Lott/Sam Brownback/etc axis of evil.
Obviously we already knew that re their positions on Guantanamo, torture, etc. but THE FAT IS ON THE FIRE now, people. It's official: these bastards don't give a shit about the United States Constitution. The fact that Bash apologists like Arlon Spector and Bob Barr find these crimes "troubling" only goes to underline just how bad things are.
Anyone who sides with the Little Dictator on this one is clearly an outright enemy of the Constitution and must be driven from office. If not, what's left of the American Republic is in deep deep deeeeeep trouble.

"Well, I'll tell you something, if a nuclear weapon goes off in Washington, DC, or New York or Los Angeles, it'll burn the Constitution as it does..."
And why would that be?
It's like the Bush administration learning from Katrina that we better be ready to declare martial law, we should turn hurricane relief over to the military...
These people are looking for reasons to declare martial law and throw out the Constitution.
So they can never be held culpable for their crimes. And so they can reign as untaxed masters of oil and the earth.

There are people who would like to detonate a nuclear weapon in an American city.
Many of them are business partners and contractors of the United States Government.
