Orcs yet hope
I'm as pleased as anybody that the gross Constitutional whackery of Military Tribunals is being confronted. But I cannot support a whole-hog trend towards praising military lawyers (JAGs) or the military justice system. In the current confrontation - with one exception that I will discuss below - JAGs confronting the Commission's minions (and even ...

Re: Why are liberals always so afraid of actual Americans?
Your examples were perfect for the ''original'' interpretation arguement as they were both addressed legally by use of the amendment process.

Re: See no evil, through a veil
Ms Schmidt, you propose a false dichotomy with biased terminology intended to elevate your moral and intellectual position. 'Free vs oppressive system' is such an example. As I have mentioned elsewhere here on the Fray, true ''freedom'' is beyond human reach- it is a utopic ideal. It would arguably be more accurate to call the matter of wearing ...

HA HA! You only wish he'd quit!!!
My grandfather always told me when I was a little girl and wanted to give up; WINNERS NEVER QUIT AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN! I watch Hillary like I do Bush …. I don’t anymore. I use to be a supporter of hers, but she is not a good example for our children in my opinion. I've grown so sick of Hillary Clinton's little fits and attacks. She acts like ...

The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .
. . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

Ron Paul
Kudos to Ron Paul! Even though he won't be the Republican Nominee, He is a breath of fresh air in this year's election. He expresses what all Americans should believe in and support. Follow the constitution!

Re: Who is Ron, Really
Hi Max, Dr. Paul is an humble man who believes that government works best when it follows the Constitution. Over his past 30 years in public office, he has never voted for a tax increase, so he is not in favor of taxing the people. He has always voted for a balanced budget, so he's for lower government spending and living within our means. ...

On Day One
Obama's history as a Constitutional Law professor has been the fundamental basis for my championing of his candidacy since before he was a candidate. I really couldn't care less if it makes me seem partisan to anyone with whom I interact-- the facts, insofar as I am able to ascertain them, are that the rabid partisanship of Team Bush has run ...

Change the Constitution....
....so it is in accordance with G_d's will? Mike Huckabee apparently thinks so. Occasional Faith-Based poster Archaeopteryx links to this story. Anyway, to follow up on a story Arch recently posted, Huckabee told a Michigan audience last Monday: I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot ...

Huckabee and the Constitution
''I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,'' Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. ''But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's ...
