And pray for America, we need it now more than ever.

I don't want to stop at Kennedy. He wouldn't have been the swing vote without the other 4 traitors.
I'm dreading the upcoming SCOTUS decision on the 2nd amendment.
Where are my manners? Thanks for the plug :-)
GOOD point, Cube...they ALL should hang!!
When is the 2nd amendment coming up, do you know?
Did you hear that some of the detainees WANT to stay at Gitmo because they're afraid of persecution or death upon their return to their countries? I say "bye bye!" That would be a LOT better solution than our spending millions in courts, right? :-)
you are MORE than welcome, by the way! xx
We once had a real president, who made two interesting statements about the judiciary. In the first he said, “In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crow. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.” Yesterday’s ruling seems to indicate that when Supreme Court justices are not accountable to anyone, when they rule against common sense with impunity without fear of repercussion, it is possible that President Jackson was correct. Later, Jackson said of the Supreme Court, “ . . . they have made their decision, not let them enforce it.”
SCOTUS does not have the power to enforce any ruling; it relies upon the good nature of both branches to comply with their determination. Criticism of Kennedy is spot on; he is an idiot who clearly ignored case law to justify a preconceived notion about the applicability of habeas corpus. We will see how this plays out . . . and ultimately it may have no effect on the retention of unlawful combatants at Gitmo. Time will tell . . . but as with the Executive and Legislative Branches of government, the people must be wary of decisions that may place them in harms way. Sadly, it is a practical impossibility to dismiss a Supreme Court justice. We are at their mercy.
FJ posted this below on the other SCOTUS article and I thought all of you who didn't see it ought to read it..it's chillingly familiar when considering the Gitmo situation and criminality in general:
FJ said...
Nietzsche, "Genealogy of Morals"
As it acquires more power, a community no longer considers the crimes of the single individual so serious, because it no longer is entitled to consider him as dangerous and unsettling for the existence of the totality as much as it did before. The wrongdoer is no longer “outlawed” and thrown out, and the common anger is no longer permitted to vent itself on him without restraint to the same extent as earlier — instead the wrongdoer from now on is carefully protected by the community against this anger, especially from that of the immediately injured person, and is taken into protective custody. The compromise with the anger of those particularly affected by the wrong doing, and thus the effort to localize the case and to avert a wider or even a general participation and unrest, the attempts to find equivalents and to settle the whole business (the compositio), above all the desire, appearing with ever-increasing clarity, to consider every crime as, in some sense or other, capable of being paid off, and thus, at least to a certain extent, to separate the criminal and his crime from each other — those are the characteristics stamped more and more clearly on the further development of criminal law.
If the power and the self-confidence of a community keep growing, the criminal law also grows constantly milder. Every weakening and deeper jeopardizing of the community brings its harsher forms of criminal law to light once again. The “creditor” has always became proportionally more humane as he has become richer. Finally the amount of his wealth even becomes measured by how much damage he can sustain without suffering from it. It would not be impossible to imagine a society with a consciousness of its own power which allowed itself the most privileged luxury which it can have — letting its criminals go without punishment. “Why should I really bother about my parasites?” it could then say. “May they live and prosper; for that I am still sufficiently strong!” . . . Justice, which started with “Everything is capable of being paid for; everything must be paid off” ends at that point, by shutting its eyes and letting the person incapable of payment go free — it ends, as every good thing on earth ends, by doing away with itself. This self-negation of justice: we know what a beautiful name it calls itself — mercy. It goes without saying that mercy remains the privilege of the most powerful man, or even better, his beyond the law.
o gosh this is horrific!
it ought to turn into a freakin' free for all come next year at this time - think of the ones about to retire and just hanging in there...
nanc..and don't think they weren't 'hangin' in there' JUST for the new lefty president to take office and replace them with more of the same, right?..to PROTECT THIS COUNTRY from decency, from adherence to the constitution (GOD FORBID), to returning to the rule of law and not just LIBERAL AGENDA.
Angel's right....horrific that it's come to this.
I'm afraid this ruling says so much more than 'just' the ruling...about us, about our ability to protect ourselves,..and I believe FJ's Nietzsche post absolutely illustrates that...
NO doubt about it. I woke up scared this morning for the first time in my life, I think....or maybe since 9/11 died down?
Scared. literally.
Instead of a dartboard:
1. Toilet paper
2. Targets for use at ranges
3. Kitty litter liners
4. Urinal screens
5. His name on cotton swabs at proctologist clinics
6. Vomit bags on airplanes
7. Tampons
8. Garbage bags
9. Biohazard containers
10. Toilet seat liners
Steve? YUCK!!!!! :-)
Don't get scared, get MAD!
Don't get mad.
Get sensible.
No offense, FJ.
Scared or sensible..who cares?
It scares me that we have a country many of whom think the SCOTUS judgment is a good idea. THAT is scary.
it's "Sensible" to try not to let it get to us. I can't make that work.........YET! I'm trying!
