OK, Art. Put up. What part of the Constitution is no longer intact?

Article One.

Commentary on the News Hour last night indicated that since the
Congress is charged with regulation of the armed forces, Bush usurped
that power by trying to dictate how prisoners would be treated.
Ooops.

What part of Commander-in-Chief escapes you? Pick up a book on
Constitutional Law and you'll find that the "regulation of the armed
forces" applies to how the members of the force shall be governed and
treated. This is handled through the Uniform Code of Military Justice,
which is still in force. You may even note its application against the
criminals of Abu Ghraib.

The legal experts they had said that most of the documents released by
the White House dealt with how to twist the law so as to avoid being
charged with felonies. Disgusting.

Not "legal experts" but democrats in the Congress in an election year.
As I recall, it was your favorite president and fellatee who debated
what the meaning of "is" is. What legal experts? What documents? What
law? Who charged? The current occupant of the White House has not been
charged with any felonies. Harder to say that about his predecessor.

Bush is the worst president -ever- and he has to go.

"So let it be written, so let it be done..." Walt has spoken. QED.

Broaden your scope, Walt. Stop mouthing sound bites. Avoid repetition
of the last thing you've heard. Don't continually repost the same
single view that supports your contention. Get out of the house more.
And, stop posting news stories from 2000--a lot has happened since
then, and they weren't that important even when they were current.
