JUST DISBAR THE MENTAL MIDGET DECIDER IN THIEF, THEN!!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

On CNN just now, Ted Kennedy said, "the American Bar Association says Bush broke the law" when asked if he supports the Feingold Censure Resolution. Why not simply disbar the crook?

[3waygeek]

1. Bush isn't a lawyer n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

11. that's unbelievable

I thought ALL modern presidents had a law degree except Ray-gun. No wonder he has no grasp of the law or Constitution.

[TheDebbieDee]

2. They can't disbar *, he's not a lawyer!

[Jane Austin]

6. He couldn't get into the University of Texas Law School, so he

went to graduate business school instead.

"My" Longhorns, indeed.

Bugger off, you sorry imposter.

[napi21]

3. You CAN'T! He's not a lawyer, and not a member of the bar!

Teddy must have been funnin again!

[begley]

5. Depends on which 'bar'

glug glug.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. no ted only said the ABA had said he broke the law...

I jumped to the next conclusion, not Ted.

[Avalux]

4. Bwahaha! Bush wasn't smart enough for law school -

he's not a lawyer. He applied to UT law school and they said no way. :D

[Jack Rabbit]

9. So he became a Harvard MBA

That and the state of corporate America doesn't say a lot for the Harvard Business School.

[Avalux]

15. Harvard Business School had to take him -

one word: Daddy. :eyes:

[Jacobin]

17. It's called "Legacy Admissions"

They let in the dimwitted sons and daughters of alumni that are generous to the school

[Ecumenist]

7. Ummm, Bush isn't lawyer

the bar he needs to be disbarred from is the open bar because he's acting more and more like a sloppy drunk.

[katinmn]

8. Why not just impeach him?

If any of us committed a crime against the nation, we would have been in jail long ago.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. why not try him as a war criminal for crimes against humanity?

and hang his sorry ass.

10. Ask The United Methodist Church to Excommunicate Bush!

Sweet Victory: United Methodist Church Calls For Withdrawal

It's one thing when former high-ranking members of your own Administration come out against your war. It's another thing when two-thirds of the country calls the invasion and occupation a mistake. It's really something when your own church issues a statement urging you to pull out the troops now.

Last week, the United Methodist Church Board of Church and Society--the social action committee of the church that both President Bush and Vice President Cheney belong to--resoundingly passed a resolution calling for withdrawal with only two 'no' votes and one abstention.

"As people of faith, we raise our voice in protest against the tragedy of the unjust war in Iraq," the statement read. "Thousands of lives have been lost and hundreds of billions of dollars wasted in a war the United States initiated and should never have fought.... We grieve for all those whose lives have been lost or destroyed in this needless and avoidable tragedy. Military families have suffered undue hardship from prolonged troop rotations in Iraq and loss of loved ones. It is time to bring them home."

The board also issued a strong statement against torture, urging Congress to create an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate detention and interrogation practices at Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan.


"It is my hope and prayer that our statement against the war in Iraq will be heard loud and clear by our fellow United Methodists, President Bush and Vice President Cheney," said Jim Winkler, General Secretary of the UMC's Board of Church and Society. "Conservative and liberal board members worked together to craft a strong statement calling for the troops to come home and for those responsible for leading us into this disastrous war to be held accountable."

14. you need to start a thread with this post IanDB1

damn good stuff!

[katinmn]

16. I agree. The Methodists have it right.

[kineneb]

19. I've always wondered why that church.

The U.Meth. folks I know are all quite to the Left. Kind, gentle folks who like music in their services. I think they should throw him out; I'm not even sure there is excommunication in the church- at least I have never heard of it being used.

[Neil Lisst]

18. it's disreputable but not disbarable

[smoochpooch]

20. Bush Administration doesn't care for the ABA anyway,

The ABA has provided the White House with ratings of "not qualified", "qualified", and "very qualified" for all nominees to the Supreme Court for decades. Then, the Bush White House told the ABA that they would no longer need their recommendations, presumably because they didn't appreciate their credentials on matters of law. The ABA sent them the ratings anyway. By the way, all this happened way before the Harriet Myers nomination, which shows Bush knew his nominees would not withstand serious scrutiny.
