Habeas Corpus has died in America and no one seems to care. Instead its still the Foley mess which at this point since Foley has resigned and Hasert has more or less successfully dodged it is no longer relevant. Call me crazy but some guy wanting to diddle boys of legal age (therefore not illegal) versus ending a nearly 1000 year tradition that a cornerstone of American values and everyone goes for the sex story. Yes, it sucks that Republicans continue to cover the truth no matter the cost, but compared to ending habeas, it should barely be the blip on the radar.
But really, even in this country full of ADDers who have to have everything no matter handed in two sentence soundbites and please hold the complication, but sheesh, its two different stories how hard is it to track and report both? Apparently to hard. My Congress disgusts me, the President disgusts me, and the American people not caring disgusts me.
In either case, congrats to Bush for getting what he wants - the uber president. Seriously why bother with Congress now? They are not even relevant anymore except to pretend they are doing something useful while allowing Bush to wipe his ass with the Constitution. The so-called flame of democracy that America use to represent has been extinguished and no one even cares. The battle was won without a fight, security is sacrosanct, freedom irrelevant.
The surest ways to lose what freedoms that remain is the continued apathy America is demonstrating. In this way, the terrorists have surely won the war.
Every President since FDR both Repuplican and Democrat both has increased or strecthed
ReplyDeletePresidential Power in the Executive brance.
The founding father's tried to prevent this usurping power by putting a system of checks and balances and splitting the government into three branches. Obviously it's failed.
