billvon 3,118 #3 April 2, 2007 > "Rule of Law Returning" ???? Of course! The US Constitution has been the biggest obstacle to the GOP "rule of law" for years. Good to see it's being systematically shredded. I am sure that once most of our rights are gone, we will all be safer under a "rule of law" presided over by a benevolent ruler.

I think it is just the oposite.

billvon 3,118 #6 April 2, 2007 >The GOP wants to rebuild and already shredded Constitution . . . . Tell me if you think the following provisions of the US Constitution/Bill of Rights should be supported or weakened. "The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." "The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury . . ." "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

I tend to fall in the group that would resolve it by leaning more in favor of freedom. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
