Wishful thinking on the part of Bush's opponents here.

I think you're being optimistic, shots. I'll say more when I hear it myself.
You should note that the first issue in the case is a jurisdictional one.

I looked for the transcript but the site indicates it might be 10 days before it will be posted. The audio was not on Courttv either I had hoped to get at least a portion so I could show my points.

Also I was not being optimistic, I was just giving my opinion as I saw it.

This isn't about Bush, this is about consolidation and centralization of power into the hands of a tiny few. Why is this such a grand idea to you?

When are we going to get up the courage to "just say no" to dictatorship?
General strike, general boycott, secondary boycott, shut everything down.
That's how European leaders get told what their people want : the people say so, in a way that is undeniable and immediately hits the leaders in their pocketbooks.

Then what would you do if Osama was caught? How would you put him on trial?

It has to be an Islamic law instead of a U.S. law right? People be mad you know. After all we are giving a trial of a Muslim person, a foreign person. Is Osama a soldier or a civilian?

BTW, Congress has the power to curtail any powers, that is not granted to him in the constitution, from the president. Since they haven't done so yet, it must mean he doesn't really have any more now than the day he took the presidential oath in 2001.

BTW, the Supreme Court has the power to decide on matters of constitutionality and its been that way for a long time.

Don't you believe that the Supreme Court would've ruled against President Bush by now if they were to find any of his actions unconstitutional?
Abuse of presidential powers would've been looked into a long time ago if any allegations were true.
What President Bush is doing, no matter how unpopular it is with his opponents, are well within the boundaries of all existing laws. If it were not so, we'd more than likely know about it.
