"Congress and the Court are systematically stripping the presidency of war-making powers. Congress demands that the president get court approval before intercepting enemy communications (we call that intelligence gathering) and the Court demands that the president get statutory support from Congress before he can use military tribunals to try terrorists."

Now, I'm not the 'doomsday' type, but when people make statements like that, it tears me up inside.
We sincerely have lost it.
the French goalkeeper looks like a young Donald Pleasence.
It just shines dully with the low-wattage light of ignorance:
And yet, neither Congress nor the Supreme Court have any explicit constitutional authority to make these decisions. Congress can cut-off funding for the war or any aspect of it, which it has not; and the judiciary's only role in these matters is to defer to the president, who has explicit and broad authority under the Constitution as the commander-in-chief.
Today, the Court has taken a giant new step in its usurpation of explicit presidential authority. The battle against terrorism is being fought as much in our courtrooms as on the field in Iraq and other places — where the likes of the ACLU and activist judges will set policy in contravention of the Constitution.
Congress and the courts are conferring rights and privileges on terrorists. They are conferring constitutonal protections on the enemy. They are granting the enemy jurisdiction in our civilian courts. They are extending the Geneva Conventions to an enemy that is specifically excluded from those protections.
I wrote an entire book on the subject of the Supreme Court, and how it's destroying America.
Which clearly makes him an expert. I mean, a whole book! Jeepers!
And that's exactly what it's doing. In 2004, the Court said, in two cases — Rasul and Hamdi — for the first time in our history, that unlawful enemy combatants — that is, terrorists who themselves refuse to comply with the rules of law — have a legal right to access to our federal civilian courts and can file habeas corpus petitions there. That means they can ask a federal judge to determine whether their detention is proper. In the past, the Supreme Court refused to grant such access to our courts. And as I wrote at the time, this is a slippery slope. Having broken down the wall of restraint that had traditionally been recognized by the Court, there appears to be no limit anymore on the judiciary's role in second-guessing the commander-in-chief. And that's exactly what happened today.
Wow. What completely empty and baseless reasoning. Not a shred of data to support any of it. This guy would fail my Freshman English course.

Damnit, I'm gonna keep posting this
insanely easy and delicious recipe
until somebody notices.
RAINBOW TROUT STUFFED WITH SPINACH, PINE NUTS AND DILL
4 8-ounce rainbow trout,filleted,
butterflied, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher or sea salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons sweet butter
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 minced garlic clove
10 ounces spinach, cleaned
1/4 cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons chopped dill
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1: Season each fish inside and out with
salt and pepper.
2: In a large skillet, melt butter over
medium high heat. Add pine nuts and garlic
and saute until golden and fragrant, about
one minute. Add spinach and let wilt, about
2 or 3 minutes. Stir in raisins and dill,
and cook one minute more.
3: Divide spinach mixture into quarters and
stuff each fillet with filling. Tie each
fillet with kitchen string.
4: Return pan to medium heat and warm oil
until sizzling. Cook fish until skin is
golden and fish opaque, about five minutes
for first side and three minutes for
second. Remove, and remove string before serving.
5: Your tongue throws a party for your mouth.

It's a gold mine of stupid! Criminals, of course, agree to comply with the rules of law. That's why their...er...criminals.
And we have two court systems; a civilian one, and a...military one? Well, yeah, but the "civilian" one handles criminals. You know, people who refuse to obey the "rules of law." So, maybe we should send all the criminals to military tribunals, too?
damned activist Founding Fathers.
"the judiciary's only role in these matters is to defer to the president"
Excellent. So when President Hillary Clinton declares that reproductive choices are no longer subject to government scrutiny, Scalia and Thomas will stay out of it, right?
"for the first time in our history, that unlawful enemy combatants — that is, terrorists who themselves refuse to comply with the rules of law — have a legal right to access to our federal civilian courts"
Could it be because no US government ever felt the need to create the legal fiction of "enemy combatants" before?
This is not wankery - this is outright lying. Into the duck pit with him.

Even better --- Levin criticizes HamdI also. That is the Supreme Court's decision from 2004 that the President cannot detain US citizens without giving them any right to any hearing just because he says they are "enemy combatants." Note who wrote the biggest indictment of the Bush administration in Hamdi --- Justice Scalia (who was joined by Justice Stevens) who said that Bush's actions were contrary to one thousand years of history going back to the Magna Charta.

Back in a bit.
But note: If Congress decides to alter the UCMJ and override the Geneva Conventions, the President can have his military tribunals with procedures as unfair as he wants. But that would require that Congress publicly decide (1) that it no longer wanted to abide by the principle of uniformity announced in the UCMJ, (2) that it no longer required that military commissions abide by the laws of war, or, finally, (3) that Congress no longer considered the Geneva Conventions binding on the United States.

Rewrite UCMJ to exclude due process, etc., you put every one in the military under an even worse legal system than they have now. One with virtually no legal protections at all. Just to punish a few terrorists.

Our children will be paying for a lot of things, most all of which stem from our fixation on self at the expense of all else.
Back in '93 I wrote that if our children knew what they had in store for them, the ongoing result both of our actions and inaction, they'd murder us in our sleep.

So I think you may be right.

I'm just going by instinct. I really don't know much about the game. Things like speed, passing, conditioning and aggressiveness are pretty straight forward.
And the LCDR who defended Hamdan was passed over for promotion last year. The board has already met for this year; if he was passed over again, so long to his career in the Nav.
So far France looks like the best bet. Of course I have no idea what I'm saying.

I'm an England supporter, most of the time. When they deserve it and this year they sure did not( divas and bad coaching). I never expected France to get there, they played awful in the first round. But they woke up vs Togo (without Zidane) and then were magnificient vs Spain and today they dominate Brazil!.
For Zidane, who says adieu to football playing with this tournament: ALLEZ LES BLEUS!

I'm not surprised, unfortunately. But this is also why any move to alter UCMJ won't even get out of Committee. The military, starting with the JAGs, simply won't stand for it.

Someone in the comments to that linked blog post mentioned Robert Filmer's theory of patriarchal authority.

Which, given Jenna and not-Jenna, is sorta ironic.

Were they on the clearance rack?
Plum P, I tole you I was OLD. Okay, Happy Canada Day. (The day that used to be Dominion Day - us ole fokes are old cause we remember what used to be there, you know?)
Some blog-seduction from me. My response to Cox's review of Pollitt's book. I'm a fan of Katha.

i know i will get cruxified for saying this but canadian football is faster and more
fun to watch than yours
With only three downs, the CFL has to throw the ball more.
I prefer a good rushing game. That's where the running backs and the linebackers get to square off.
I've never seen A Handmaid's Tale. What channel and what time.
on MoviePix (but in Canada). Rent it, you will be fascinated. It's like Big Brother's procreation manual. And Faye Dunaway is hysterical in it and Duvall is good too.
Echidne, you really should be careful what you read and report on, you know?
Anyone who runs on/talks about "lawandorder" is not to be trusted.
Neither are men in masks.

Oh, is that the appeal? Don't mean to be too dismissive of something I haven't watched, but down here they got arena football, which is nothing but 60-59 games. I've never been remotely tempted to watch it.

My brother is actually worried that I might be arrested or something for my blog. He is fairly straight-laced though a lovely person otherwise.
i agree earl!

whew.
and it's not a political thought at all.
Does anybody think the tactic would
backfire?
steve simels
Yeah, I do. Giuliani tried that in NY after 9/11 and couldn't get away with it.
I think if there was another attack there would be enough people blaming W for fucking up homeland security that any imperial moves on his part would be shot down pretty damn fast.
There would be a lot of people wondering if the attack could have been prevented if maybe W hadn't pissed away hundreds of billions and a couple years in Iraq.
Not that the wingnuts wouldn't try to make the case. I just don't think it would work.
"House Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and other lawmakers are demanding explanations after hearing complaints that the movie "Facing the Giants" was rated PG instead of G due to religious content."
The one phrase I've seen in film rating descriptions lately that amuses me way more than it should is "Thematic materials."
Talk about a mealy-mouthed euphemism that says absolutely nothing..."thematic materials"..?? Apart from experimental dada-ist art school projects, doesn't every movie have "thematic materials"? It's a good thing I'm not a parent trying seriously trying to decide what's appropriate viewing for a child, cause that tells me exactly jack plus shit.
And DWD, I will review your book tomorrow in a post about vacation reading.
Wish me luck. I am now about to attempt wheeling a 27" teebee strapped to my luggage wheelie thingy down 4 flights of stairs. If you hear a "thump de thump thump thump CRASH!", it's just me.
Oh, and call 911. Everyone in the building seems to be away for the holiday weekend.

arena footballers hate freedom.
Blunt earned a B.A. in History from Southwest Baptist University in 1970. Two years later, he earned a M.A. in History from Southwest Missouri State University.
Blunt has been married twice. He married Roseann in May 1967, and with her had three children: Matt (the current governor of Missouri), Amy and Andrew. Amy and Andrew are lawyers and lobbyists. After divorcing Roseann, he married Abigail Perlman, a Phillip Morris lobbyist on October 18, 2003. In April, 2006, he and Abigail adopted an 18-month old baby boy from Russia, whom they named Alexander Charles Blunt.
Hmmmm. That is not really a 'Rated G' life with the divorce and remarriage and all.
I prefer to be safe, at home.

I'll bet they were made in China.
Anyone see Larry O'Donnel on Mcglaughlin last night. His was a beautiful smackdown of Tony Blankley's support of the flag burning amendment.
LSS: Larry held up a little US flag with a Made In China tag on it, then pointed out that in China you'd go to jail for burning it.

Actually, none of Scalia, Thomas or Alito endorse Yooism. Which is good, because Yoo stole his theory from Carl Schmitt, the Nazis' legal theorist.
Muuuuhahahahaaa!
Muuuhahahahaaa!
Steve, I think that the tactic could backfire, but only if we have a strong movement to push opinion in that direction. It would be nice if at least some of that would come from the Dems, but we can't leave it up to them.
It'll mean taking to the streets with flyers, protests, and whatever else we can do to sway public opinion. Maybe handing out computer discs with the truth compiled.
I think it may be time to start actions like that anyway. Lord knows we have enough dirt on BushCo to work with.
Understanding that I'm not a real pal of the current PM, nevertheless, here's the Canada Day message - and a jolly nice one it is. I'm going to go have a cup of Red Rose tea and a jammy doughnut to celebrate.
"Across the country, Canadians are joining together to commemorate our nation's birthday for the 139th time.
Our country, our way of life, did not happen by accident. We are the product of our values, a country that cherishes freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. Ours is a society characterized by hard work, generosity, and strong communities.
As Canadians we have a lot of which to be proud. And our future is a bright one - as we strive to build a country that is even better, and even more prosperous. A country that will serve as an example to people everywhere who hope for a better life and a better world.
With this in mind, I wish all Canadians an excellent Canada Day spent with families and friends."

I can just imagine him getting tremendous support for a month or so, and then the questions start about the prevention measures, or problems with the response (have they worked out those NYPD/FD radio issues yet? I bet not.).
Plum P, not in Michigan. Summer Hockey is in full swing. And then there is early fall hockey. And Regular hockey and Spring Hockey.
Muskegon, MI is a town passionate about hockey and has been for years. We have had pro hockey since 1910 I think. Home of the Zephyrs and the Lumberjacks - International League. Now we have the United Hockey League. They sort of suck, but are heavily supported.
Thanks, plum.
Happy Canada Day.
GWPDA is having afternoon tea for Canada Day. What are you doing?

yesterday on yonge st i was heading for an art supply store. this little kid at a bin of flags wanted the stars and stripes. his mother said 'you have the canadian flag at home. your father doesn't want you to have that one.'
3.2.1. out
did not happen by accident.
yes it did, you all got drunk and screwed your sisters and brothers, uncles and cousins, inbred and big eared just like prince charles
I prefer a good aerial offense!
Don't get me wrong, I love the passing game, too. However, I've always been partial to the running game.
Especially in the college ranks with the wishbone and the power I. A last millisecond pitch on an option play from a QB to a back is one of the most exciting plays in all of sport, IMHO.

Which is why US football has grotesques as players.

Women are -now- removing spare toesies to fit into shoes? That's so 1890s! Surely not, Echidne, surely?
Oh what do I know of fashion....

The old Dupont family has a mansion where all the products of incest were kept. At least the half or so that got the bad end of the genetic deal. 20 foot stone walls around it - broken glass inbedded in the top if the walls. Legend says that the glass was put there to keep them in as much as to keep folks out.

Yeah, it would depend on how close to the election it happened. If it was close enough that the questioning hadn't started yet, but not so close it looked planned, he might just get away with it.
But I doubt it.
I HATE IT WHEN NOBODY COMES TO TELL US THERE'S A NEW THREAD
it's impolite
oh but i did put a lot a maple syrup on my french toasts
yet another ignorant habit.
why, dear lord, would you eat so much sugar?
Oh yeh bad teeth and worse breath...sorry my bad I didn't mean to insult your inbred habits..

Not quite as extensive as removing a rib, tho....

"A study by the Scripps Howard News Service in February found that many of the heaviest former NFL players are dying young at an alarming rate and succumbing to ailments typically related to weight.
.....
The battle to get big has trickled down to the collegiate and high school ranks as well, where size on the line is at a premium and pressure exists to get big or ride the bench.
Nebraska's 2006 spring roster had 10 players who tipped the scales at 300 pounds or more, up from 20 years ago when the heaviest NU player weighed 285 pounds."

flory, we can take it to the bank that every bit of frigging in the rigging that can be pulled off will be.
I am afraid that the Dems are not up to the challenge. At least I've seen very little evidence that they are.
And here it is the 1st of July...
A study by the Scripps Howard News Service
As has always been the case. Folks that play football pay for it in their later years. I've got old football injuries from 35 years ago that still bother me.
Has nothing to do with being grotesque, tho.

Missed the excess weight thingie?
That's gotta be responsible for more injuries, too.
Missed the excess weight thingie?
No - I don't consider being that big 'grotesque'. I go 250 and look fine.
Also, the trend toward larger linemen is due to the passing game more so than the running game. Bigger O-linemen are harder for the defensive linemen to move and/or got off the block giving the QB more time to find the receivers.
As for more injuries, football is all about injuries. Always has been. Goes with the territory.
Why, when I hear Mark Levin's voice, do I think of Louie the Lizard from the beer commercial?
