Randi is talking about Cheney hinting at a 3rd Bush/Cheney term |
|
She said he gave a speech over the weekend where he said they were having legal advisors look into the possibility that the 22nd amendment would not apply in a time of war. I belive she said the original story was in the NY Times. Does anyone know what she's talking about and where I can find it?

5. Well, since we're not at war... |
|
...the point is moot. Congress hasn't declared war. So there. Nyah.

7. Maybe Bush has already added a secret clause to the 22nd Amendment |
|
and we just don't know about it yet. He reinterprets legislation through signing statements and court decisions through conditional addendums. Why not the U.S. Constitution, too, while he's at it?

9. If that came to pass, then the peaceful protests wouldn't be so peaceful anymore... |
|
That would be cause for an uprising.

10. I actually thought that was serious when I first read it |
|
Not that it might be so, but that Cheney might think it or try for it. I honestly think that man wants to be a dictator.
