Look back. How long ago was the expression "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition" posted. Why do you think my posts are so aggressively blunt on the liar and scumbag president? Nothing new here including outright attempts to restrict the right of Habeas Corpus. But then warnings of this effort were quoted direct from George Jr's own speech. Do you for one minute think anything I was posting is based in emotion? Read the appropriate excerpt from his speech as posted in The Cellar with warnings about this bill:
Has the Bush Doctrine failed? on 7 Sept 2006.
Quote:
Third, I'm asking that Congress make it clear that captured terrorists cannot use the Geneva Conventions as a basis to sue our personnel in courts, in U.S. courts. The men and women who protect us should not have to fear lawsuits filed by terrorists because they're doing their jobs.

Exact quote from George Jr's speech. He spins it so that you don't notice - they want to take away provisions of the Geneva Convention third article. They want to eliminate the right of Habeas Corpus - a fundamental American principle of law - to some people to make torture and other violations of the Geneva Convention legal in the US.
There is nothing exaggerated in my repeated references to a lying and mental midget president. And I was totally surprised back in early September how many here simply approved (by their silence) of this bill.
Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition. Warning of this bill, including the Supreme Court decision that created this bill, were also posted in:
Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone
Well, at least this thread tells me that some don't approve of torture and violations of the Geneva Convention. There are some in The Cellar who do approve of both. We have exchanged words - bluntly - as a result.
Headsplice - by the time the unconstitutionality of this bill arrives in the Supreme Court, the court will be changed. In the Hamdan case, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia all opposed the 29 Jun decisions that demanded George Jr admit to torture, secret prisions in foreign nations, kidnapping, and no rights of Habeas Corpus.
PA has two senators. Spectre has strongly opposed what this administration is doing to basic American principles of law. Santorum - who will be reelected this November - strongly supports these new restrictions on American freedoms. Santorum approves of torture and hopes you will reelect him. He therefore will contribute to changing the Supreme Court so that this bill - to eliminate the right of Habeas Corpus for some - will remain law.
Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition. Does my repeated reference to that expression make any sense yet? Are you beginning to understand why my posts of this administration have become so acidic over the years? Why did I never in over ten years not post so acidic? Why was I almost the only one here to see George Jr was lying even about those aluminum tubes? This president is not a decent or honest man.
