4. Legalizing BushCo War Crimes

I never thought I'd live to see the day this could happen in America.

I am ashamed.

[rumpel]

7. ..and giving him sole powers to "decide" without any

oversight!

How many of our population is even aware of this? How many actually care? That is the catastrophe.

18. Thank you

This is bookmarked in my international law folder.

Being a Democrat does not pardon anyone. There were 34 of them who voted Aye. I don't give two bits what becomes of them.

An act of Congress that legalizes war crimes is a war crime in itself.

ON EDIT

For the record, my Congressman voted No.

17. It was a vote on the habeas corpus amendment

If failed, and Mary Landrieu (sp?) voted against it.
