LIZ CHENEY FAILS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT 'NATIONAL SECURITY" MEANS
"CHENEY: There’s this big piece in the Wall Street Journal this morning that says that it was a number of different concepts for ways that we could capture or kill al Qaeda leaders in the days after 9/11. I am really surprised that the Democrats decide that that’s what they want to fight over. I mean, if they want to go to the American people and say that they disagree with the notion that we ought to be capturing and killing al Qaeda leaders, I think it’s just going to prove to the American people one more time why they can’t trust the Democrats with our national security."

Well, politics surely never enter into decisions made amongst nine people, all with knowledege bases, histories, experiences and sets of clerks.
And politics certainly don't come into play when conservative judges make decisions.
Y'know, this whole demonization of 'politics' is way the hell past due for a reconsideration. When people get together to do something, politics are always involved. Churches. Research science departments. Economics. Courts. All of it. Political institutions, for better or worse. The pretense, of course, is that 'objective' clarity of observation and thought allows one to eschew 'politics' in favor of a solution unsullied by human frailty.
No point in denying it, looking for an 'objectivity' that doesn't exist, or pretending one can find it...

INVESTIGATING CRIMINALS IS TOO PARTISAN FOR SUNDAY MORNING HACK-FEST
"ROBERTS: I must say, I have very mixed minds about this. Because on the one hand, the whole idea of a prosecution gets Washington into that kind of horrible slog where everybody hates each other and the poison just gets very thick.
DONALDSON: Unlike at the moment, right?
ROBERTS: Well, no, it hasn’t been as bad lately as it was in the last 16 years.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And it seems like they’re trying to avoid at least in the design of this, criminalizing of policy.
ROBERTS: And just the whole atmosphere of getting that way again. On the other hand, the rule of law is terribly important. And we have to have it -- you know, we cannot operate in this country without the rule of law.
DONALDSON: So which hand do you come down on?
ROBERTS: I’d probably come down on the rule of law.'
Time for a Special Prosecutor..
Holder Considers Criminal Probe of Bush Administration
Attorney General Eric Holder is considering whether to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration’s interrogation practices involving the CIA. Newsweek reports Holder has become increasingly troubled after reviewing the Bush administration’s interrogation policies. He reportedly told one associate that what he saw in the reports about the treatment of prisoners at the CIA’s black sites “turned my stomach.” Holder is expected to make a decision in the coming weeks and has already discussed several potential candidates to serve as special prosecutor. Holder is considering the probe despite opposition from President Obama, who resisted an effort by congressional Democrats to establish a “truth commission.” Obama has said the nation should be "looking forward and not backwards.” Holder told Newsweek, “I hope that whatever decision I make would not have a negative impact on the President’s agenda. But that can’t be a part of my decision.”

R. Nicholas Burns and foreign policy analyst Kenneth Pollack argued that diplomacy has produced results. Before the debate, 34 percent of the audience agreed with the motion, 33 percent were against the motion, and 35 percent were undecided. After the debate, 35 percent of the audience agreed with the motion, 59 percent were against the motion, and only six percent were undecided

Politics aside, does it strike anyone else as odd that someone would think it's a good idea to have a stranger poke a poorly supported infant with a pointy object?
And you really can't put politics aside, b/c you know in these peoples' minds, it makes sense to have Sarah stab a baby because she's the champion of pro-lifeitude!
There is no good reason to for any Republican - or any Senator who values the Constitution and the role of judges to, in the words of Chief Justice John Roberts, “call balls and strikes” as an umpire - to vote to confirm Judge Sotomayor given her very public pronouncements on the role of activists judges and her quite apparent penchant for ruling on issues of race with a personal or policy purpose in mind rather than basing her decision on the law and believing her race and sex make her a better judge.
The world is watching, yes. But, conservatives who believe the Republican Party has lost its way in recent years are watching this hearing particularly closely… to see whether Republicans are on the right road - whether they have an ounce of core beliefs that can serve to provide backbone and a will to fight.
This is an easy test. Let’s see if they pass it.

There is a game of distractions being played in Washington, D.C. right now. It is both intentional and designed to minimize conservative strengths.
We must not play the game as the left would have us play it.
Here is how the game is played.
The President pushes cap and trade to the Senate while also advancing socialized healthcare.
As those balls advance, the Attorney General makes rumblings about prosecuting individuals who engaged in enhanced interrogation techniques.
While conservatives get distracted by the Attorney General, the administration claims Dick Cheney refused to disclose a CIA program and the Democrats will investigate.
Tomorrow Sonya Sotomayor begins her confirmation hearings.
By throwing all of these balls around, the left hopes to distract the right. Our natural inclination is to be distracted by the shiny national security balls. Don't let it happen. Focus on the balls that matter.
wow Ron Fournier is a utter jackass.
He's right up there with that wingnut that used to work for Laura Bush who has a column in the LA Times.
The difference being, that guy is just treading water until a buyout. Fournier's the "bureau chief"...
Blood tests show that many survivors of the 1918 flu pandemic seem to have immunity to the current swine flu, but not to the seasonal flu that hits every year.
Those were findings from a study by a top University of Wisconsin flu researcher that was released Monday and will be published in the journal Nature.
Well, the brilliance of Judge Sotomayor's nomination is eclipsed only by Chimpy's nomination of Harriet Meirs to the High Court.
Palin melted down (see today's NYT story). Everything else is smoke and mirrors.
...Here comes Kyl. Barf bag at the ready....
She will run as a third-party candidate. Be still my heart. She will burn the Thugs to the ground and get First D00d to piss on the ashes.
Wow. If she goes through with it, it'd make Buchanan in '92 the prologue to a fantastic, epic disaster.
Can anyone explain common law to the conservative jerks of this country?

I think the Republicans have locked up the vote of people who think the only reason they can't get a job is because they're white. That is, losers with a victim complex.

No, no, no.

That's the story and we're sticking to it, there's really no need to verify either of those claims.
This country has more than enough wealth to provide food, shelter, and basic health care to every inhabitant of it.
Our problem is distribution of these fundamental needs of humans.
We have mental cases who cannot bear to live without knowing that others are suffering from want for these basic needs.
you guys have more people with ZERO health care than there are people in Canada. If you throw in the underinsured you have more people without adequate health care than the populations of New-Zealand, Australia and Canada combined. All trading partners

olexicon, mike sass
Sure are a lot of democracies out there whose people could undo their socialized or single-payer systems. Funny how that never happens.
Harriet Meirs nomination to the High Court spooked all the Winger hangers on who hadn't been spooked by the Terry Schiavo debacle, and the fact that Chimpy unleashed his military on a country that never threatened us.
We have mental cases who cannot bear to live without knowing that others are suffering from want for these basic needs.
Oh yes, those liberal 'empathizers."
SOCIAL, political and racial commentators and activists for years have told us that justice in this country unjustly favors wealthy white Americans, those who can buy their way out of serious problems. And I've never doubted that.
And so I was kind of thinking and hoping that late last week, when that kind of justice shifted to favor a black American, that some significant, albeit perverse, progress had been made -- and, fair being fair, those same voices would make a lot of media-delivered noise in response. Fat chance.
Early on the morning of March 14 of this year, Donte Stallworth, two weeks after signing a $35 million free-agent deal to play wide receiver for the Browns, was driving his Bentley in Miami Beach when he struck and killed Mario Reyes, 59. Stallworth, previously entered in the NFL's substance abuse program, was charged with DUI and manslaughter.
Stallworth pleaded guilty, reached a financial settlement with Reyes' family and was sentenced to 30 days in a Miami jail. On Friday, he was released after serving 24 days. Not bad, huh? Some minor skin rashes last longer.
But neither those political, social and racial commentators and activists nor their cooperative, obedient enablers in the media seemed interested in this story. But just imagine . . .
Imagine if Stallworth had been a white pro athlete, his dead victim black, and Stallworth had escaped with a cash settlement and 24 days of three hots and a cot in the local lockup.
Imagine the outraged noise the Rev. Al Sharpton would have made -- and he'd have been right -- about perverted justice. Imagine the noise the media, from CNN to ESPN, would have made. There would have been televised town meetings, protest rallies and demands to remove the district attorney.
So here was an opportunity to clearly and loudly note that significant progress has been made: In America, people of privilege, black and white, now can get away with manslaughter.
But nothing. Opportunity lost. Maybe, because the story didn't meet with activists' preordained agendas, it was ignored. And maybe, because the media just don't have the stomachs for reporting impolitic truths, it made small news. But, geez, if it's equality under the law we demand, well, progress is progress.
I think we should encourage her.
Amen. I can never understand the people who want to ignore her. I want her front and center every damn day, in terms of strategery and sheer entertaiment

and the fact that Chimpy unleashed his military on a country that never threatened us.
The military was never "his" to unleash.
It belongs to us. He got ahold of the keys and drove it into a ditch.
He's fucked up the Army for a generation. Much better job of fucking it up than McNamara managed to do.
Also, it's pretty good for our economy to have a lot of people sick, unhealthy, and dying prematurely.

Only if the Commander in Chief is allowed by Congress to do so. Even in war, the Commander in Chief has restrictions on him. Unless he's "Führer and Chancellor" of course...
However it's long been established that the concept of checks and balances are "quaint". Sort of like the Geneva Conventions.

it is possible he had 6 days of pretrial confinement that reduced the 30 number.
