Poll question: Will SCOTUS Overturn Torture/Get Out Of Jail Free Bill?

1. Anyone who says yes is deluding themselves

Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy will vote to uphold the bill. Just you watch.

5. I'm fooling myself, I guess.

It's a no brainer.

They may wait until Chimp is out of office to review it (They'll never let a Dem have these evil powers) but it will be overturned.

9. I don't know about Kennedy.

This may be too much for him to overlook.

:shrug:

12. Hey, he voted for Bush v. Gore

I hope he's happy.

2. 6 votes in 5 seconds.

Damn! :wow:

[Virginia Dare]

3. I'm still putting my faith in the Founding Fathers...

and I do think that we can squeak this one by. The law is on our side.

I'm just a cock-eyed optomist today, I guess I'm trying counter-balance all the doom and gloom here today (totally warranted by the way).

11. The Founding Fathers in a squeaker.

My guess (naive hope?), too.

4. If They Don't We'll Have to Have a Civil War

no joke....

[Jacobin]

6. Funny. Last time habeas corpus was suspended was during the Civil War

No joke.

7. 13-11 No.

:scared:

8. Nope, I knew that our Judicial Checks and Balances were weakened

when Roberts was confirmed. However, I knew that once Alito was confirmed, all bets are off with regard to The Supreme Court functioning as a balance to our newly acknowledged dictatorial "Unitary Executive" Branch.

We are true f**ked. If the Democratic Senators would of at least filibustered ONE DAMN thing that this wannabe King has wanted, I'd have a modicum of hope. I'm left hopeless this week. America, as The Great Democratic Experience, is truly f**ked.

Hunker down fellow Americans, this will be a long winter of our discontent, i.e., we ain't seen nothing yet and it's all bad. :(

Absolute Republican Rule for decades to come ... and the world can only watch in horror of the thugs who will continue to rule our beloved Country. :scared: :nuke:

10. 14-13 No.

13. Who the hell thinks this is going to be overturned?

This bill is the law of the land until at least 2008, IMHO.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. See #5.

It's not when, it's if.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. 23-14 No.
