New use for US Constitution: wiping Beloved Leaders Ass

Apparently that's what the 1600 Crew thinks that document is good for. The Supreme Court is going to be hearing this case, and now more than ever it's time to block Roberts and any other nutcase nominees that Preznit Legally Insane is going to make.

A federal appeals court ruled today that the president can indefinitely detain a U.S. citizen captured on U.S. soil in the absence of criminal charges, holding that such authority is vital to protect the nation from terrorist attacks.
...
Attorneys for Padilla and a host of civil liberties organizations blasted the detention as illegal and said it could lead to the military being allowed to hold anyone, from protesters to people who check out what the government considers the wrong books from the library.
The protections that the Founding Fathers wrote about and wrote into the Constitution were not just random thoughts they happened to scribble between leisurely lunches in 18th Century America. These fascists, and yes, that's what they are truly want to make Incurious George a tin-pot dictator who needs one-year paid of vacation for every four years "on the job" and I use that phrase loosely. [Four Hundred Thousand Dollars for being on vacation alone, and still wrecking the country.]

The reputation, as I understand it, of that Circuit Court in Richmond is that it's just slightly to the left of the SS Tribunals in Nuremberg during WWII, so this does not surprise me. But the fact that they could so blithely just wrap the Constitution around a toilet-paper roll and overnight it to the 1600 Crew sort of defies belief. Any judge from that court nominated by Fearful Leader to the O'Connor spot better get filibustered right out of the gate; they obviously have never read the Constitution, much less believe in it. So how could they interpret it?

We have already seen the direct result of an OJT-appointee in high public office, we don't need another one right now, thanks.

So now it isn't George W. Bush, it's to be King George W. Bush because he now has the power to imprison anyone without judicial review.

Mike,
I was going to vent a bit on the 1600 Crew's Constitution bashing but after seeing your RIP for NOLA I just want to say that the people of New Orleans aren't giving in to that vile lot pulling the strings in Washington, DC, and you must not, either. Maybe that bloody Chimp will never really understand what it is to fight from the heart and soul for something, but the people down in NOLA and MI and around the country do or are starting to. To keep with Jo's French history, Victor Hugo said that no army can stop an idea whose time has come. I hope the idea in this country finally is that this 1600 Crew must go. And I think a lot of the impetus is the goal to rebuild NOLA, not Hastert's house, and that they realise the Shrub world view is fatally limited.

Martial Law in NOLA> Sticking guns in people's face. no hearings. habeus Coprus supended in emergency state. Want to be a re-iteration of that was part of the no peek appropriations vote?

Jo when i saw those copters being swarmed for food it looked like a scene from Saigon... I was just a few years old at the time. But seeing it forever since it was like deja vu.

I spent 24 years in a blue suit defending the US Constitution. Our Constitution, to my mind, is an act of genius, the most wonderful flower to grow in the Age of Reason. And now this current President chooses to, as has been stated, wipe his ass with it. What's the old saying about absolute power. This 4th Circuit Court decision is beyond obscene. How did we get to this point?
