Thursday, April 26, 2007 - Bush Once Again Tries To Defy Constitution

William A. Glaberson in the New York Times today :

The Justice Department has asked a federal appeals court to impose tighter restrictions on the hundreds of lawyers who represent detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and the request has become a central issue in a new legal battle over the administrations detention policies.

Saying that visits by civilian lawyers and attorney-client mail have caused "intractable problems and threats to security at Guantánamo," a Justice Department filing proposes new limits on the lawyers contact with their clients and access to evidence in their cases that would replace more expansive rules that have governed them since they began visiting Guantánamo detainees in large numbers in 2004.

The filing says the lawyers have caused unrest among the detainees and have improperly served as a conduit to the news media, assertions that have drawn angry responses from some of the lawyers.

The dispute is the latest and perhaps the most significant clash over the role of lawyers for the detainees. "There is no right on the part of counsel to access to detained aliens on a secure military base in a foreign country," the Justice Department filing argued.

What a convenient argument, given that Guantanamos location was chosen in the first place so the "Justice" Department could deny detainees their rights underU.S. Law. All I can say is Bush is totally nausiating and disgusting in how he circumvents and tries to redefine our nations constitution, Americans should be outraged, I know I am!

No, it is not Congress' duty to do what they are doing. There is only one Commander-in-Chief, not 535. The only Constitutional authority they have here is to either fund or defund, not to micromanage a war, that was never our Founding Fathers intention.

If Bush lied, then so did a whole host of other people as well, you will see just a sample of that list on my Post 'Will The "Real Liar" Please Stand Up?' I noticed you had nothing to say about that one.

Yes, I have been busy lately, been a rough 2 weeks. You have achieved no victory, just from the simple fact that you are a liberal, because liberals own defeat, they do not like victory, as evidenced by their current Iraq War stance.

I thought it funny what you have found to get riled up about lately - Chocolate, and the rights of Club Gitmo detainees. Typical liberal, always taking the anti-American side on an issue. If Club Gitmo were closed down, which is the typical liberal belief, would you want one of these terrorist suspects living next door to you? These are very dangerous people who want nothing but to kill Americans, why are you so worried about their civil rights? We are in a war with these people, captured suspects have traditionally never been granted due process, Constitutional rights, access to our courts, etc. The Geneva Convention doesn't even apply to these people, because they have no uniform and owe no allegiance to any one country. If we do lose this war, which is what you Democrats want, then the blame will be squarely laid at their feet. I agree 100% with what Rudy said this week about the Dems not understanding the full scope of the threat we face with these terrorists, and if a Democrat gets elected in 2008 then we will get hit again.

What is so hypocritical about my Pro-Life position?

I don't mind being on your friends list, nor do I mind you being on mine. I am not afraid to defend my positions. If you are, however, and do not want me there anymore, then I will leave that up to you.
