1. Lies, lies, lies all that Specter has
There is a difference between Foreign Intelligence and spying on Americans.

23. I love the contrast
.....but then again, Feingold makes all of the pukes look like silly school children that are attempting to debate a professor.

and not enough on what dimson has done.

6. I don't envy Specter being drafted to do this.
And, given that he actually has respect for the Senate, it must also turn his stomach.

How do these guys sleep at night.

56. Specter was drafted to do it because if he speaks on it he can't betray
the repubs. Otherwise he would have sat there and then voted in favor of the censure. They got him up there because they had to remind him he's still under the control of the Family.

(OK, so I still harbor naive dreams of Specter's turning on the admin... I know, I know...)

I've seen him on PBS defending our Constitution.

But he's squarely in the Thug's pocket.

32. He is.
snip>
Specter studied at universities before and after serving in the United States Air Force from 1951 to 1953. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Pennsylvania in 1951 and from Yale Law School in 1956. He passed the Pennsylvania Bar in 1956.

He soon became a prominent lawyer in Philadelphia and became active in politics, beginning his political life as a Democrat. He worked with the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy. As a chief counsel for the commission, he authored the controversial "single bullet theory".

He eventually became a Republican and scored an upset by winning a race for District Attorney in heavily Democratic Philadelphia running on an anti-corruption platform against the Democratic machine. His slogan, deemed "brilliant" by Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, was "We need these guys to watch those guys." He briefly represented the "unicorn killer," Ira Einhorn, who remained at large for years after Specter successfully argued his bond should be reduced to $40,000. Specter dropped Einhorn as a client just before his run for DA.

This animation was originally created to honor Italy's 60th anniversary of liberation from Mussolini's fascist government. It moved me, and I hope it'll move you, too. Enjoy!

76. That's EXACTLY what they do - they force the steam out of any serious
debate or issue as a matter of strategy - keep the public bored.

Too bad it works. Dems can blister them on any issue, but media downplays it and spins it against the Dems to protect the Bushboy.

30. Specter's actually defining the Constitutional crisis Russ alluded to
He's trying to make a case based on "inherent authority" for the Prez, as Commander-in-Chief. Bush brought this to the fore, no one else, in a grab at unaccountable Constitutional power. They (R's) may be drawing a line they may come to regret.

68. Thanks for clarifying the point in Specter's ramblings
Maybe that's why this is sounding so roundabout, because they have to travel a circuitous route to arrive at that, like liars have to do.
Russ just had to lay it out clearly, point by point, because he was speaking the truth.

He said at first that Bush exercised his constitutional authority and now he's saying they screwed up. He's basically flying by the seat of his pants. I think he agrees with Russ and that's why he's so flustered.

I mean, it's not like they didn't have a day to come up with something half-way decent--anything--to respond with.

But I guess it takes longer than a day to figure out how to defend the indefensible.

55. wellgee Senator Spector
Why the hell do we have laws? Why the hell does the congress even need to questiona a damn thing, if the president (in this case a dumbassed, stupid, powerhungry insane idiot) can do what he likes and the hell with you, Mr. Spector, and the hell with the congress and the hell with the Constitution and the laws of the United States.

Yup, the idiot, so responsible for utter devastation world wide, is, according to you, hyou bloviating idiot, can DO WHAT HE LIKES.

SHUT THE HELL UP Spector. You are licking his boots. You are bending over and you are making it all up with your ridiculous argument


The prsident broke the law, sir. HE broke the law. He needs to be held accountable for BREAKING THE LAW. SIR!

When this happens, what do Y OU do? Attempt to change the law--in order to9 cover up this arrogant display of contempt, not only for the constitution but for the congress, (yes that is you, you boot licking buddy in crime) and most of all, for the AMERICAN PEOPLE

67. Geez, stumbled upon Tweety and saw 2 Republican shills. What else is new..
I hope people stop speaking in support of that show. Tweety is an unabashed supporter of everything Republican and a Dem basher at the same time.

... folk answered - told them they should all be in the Senate Chamber supporting Feingold as what he is doing is among the most important actions in the history of the Republic - the young person taking the message actually seemed stunned ....

From what he has said he seems to believe that the president
has no restraints on his behavior and can tear up the
constitutionn at will.

112. Some one help me. The republican argument is that the constitution
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 05:17 PM by izzybeans
gives Pretzel boy inherent power in article II. But I'm looking for it in article II as we speak. Where is it? And what could they possibly interpret in this manner? Nothing about article II gives him authority on these matters. All that applies to this issue is "unreasonable search and seizures".

Are they banking on folks never reading the constitution? Or are they actually interpreting something?

This is the closest article II comes to anything of the sort. YOu'll note that the constitution gives no authority over citizens of the U.S. other than to grant reprieves and pardons for Offenses against the U.S. except impeachment: which means only after the judicial branch has passed judgment. There is no such thing as "inherent power".

Article 2 - The Executive Branch
Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

150. President Putsch is claiming that because IWR authorized
"all necessary force", that gives him the right to conduct illegal domestic wiretaps.

It all adds up when you think about it. Force? Wiretaps. Get the picture? :silly:

151. So they've made two contradictory arguments.

Spector went with Article II gives president inherent war powers. I guess when that doesn't work confuse the words force and wiretaps in the resolution. Just dotting i.'s when I bring this up with my favorite republican in-law.

152. The myth that a preponderance of worthless arguments
somehow add up to a strong one.

Ideological convictions aside, the caliber of the work coming out of the AGs office is atrocious. Walk into any district court and you'll see argument that puts it to shame. Gonzales would get TROUNCED in private practice.
