Daschle: Gonzales Trying to "Rewrite History" by Blaming Congress for Ashcroft Spying Crisis By Spencer Ackerman - July 24, 2007, 6:05 PM Tom Daschle, the former Senate Democratic leader who received briefings on the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance programs, says Alberto Gonzales isn't telling the truth about what Senate and House leaders were told in March 2004 about the program's utility and legality. In testimony today to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gonzales attempted to give "context" for his infamous hospital trip to a convalescent John Ashcroft on March 10, 2004, after acting attorney general James Comey refused to authorize the ...

Cheney may have been consulted in Scooter Libby deliberations, White House admits Michael Roston Published: Tuesday July 3, 2007 In a White House press conference on Tuesday morning, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow appeared to suggest that Vice President Dick Cheney's views may have been considered by President George W. Bush as he deliberated on whether to commute or pardon the conviction of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. "Everybody had an opportunity to share their views," Snow said in the Tuesday morning press conference. Snow later clouded up his statement that the Vice President had been involved in the deliberations. "I'm sure that the Vice ...

Senator stumps Gonzales over authority granted to Cheney to intervene in Justice probes Michael Roston Published: Tuesday July 24, 2007 During Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing, a freshman Democratic Senator stumped Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on how Vice President Dick Cheney, his chief of staff, and counsel, had been granted authority parallel with the President on intervening in pending matters at the Justice Department. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) questioned the Attorney General about the independence of the Justice Department and communications with the White House on pending cases or investigations. He then pointed to a May 4, 2006 memorandum ...

Are You A Practicing Communist? Many Americans pride themselves as being relentless anti-Communists. A lot of people think of the communists as the bad guys and the cause of our troubles and that of the rest of the world's. This bad guy must look really bad and we should spot him easily in a crowd. Let's examine what a communist really is. Communism is a way of life that is contrary to most teaching of the Holy Bible and that of the common people, as our beloved country the 50 united States of America was founded to be. In 1848, Karl Marx wrote the ten (10) planks of the Communist Manifesto. It is the foundation of what communist ideology is all about. A true communist or ...

jurisprudenceThe Torture Two-StepBush's new torture order and its loopholes.By Phillip CarterPosted Monday, July 23, 2007, at 5:13 PM ETIn an executive order signed and published Friday afternoon, President Bush purported to end the reign of torture. The order clearly forbids "torture" and "cruel, inhuman or degrading" treatment." Except that it all depends on what the definition of torture is. The order does nothing to repudiate earlier interpretations of the Bush administration, which narrowed "torture's" scope to allow coercive interrogation techniques including sleep deprivation, water boarding, and extraordinary rendition, among others. ...

President Bush Tells Congress, Because I Said So: Ann Woolner By Ann Woolner George W. Bush, president of the United States July 24 (Bloomberg) -- The beauty of the White House's latest claim about executive privilege is its simplicity. All President George W. Bush has to do is utter those two words and his underlings can ignore congressional subpoenas without fear of jail. Why? Because the president says so. Who decides whether the claim is constitutional or bogus? He does. Who can challenge it? Nobody. No check. No balance. No way to bring in a judge. See? Simple. Of course, it's not so popular with Congress. To ``block that claim from being litigated is an ...

Bush's EO - One Step Closer To Full-Blown Tyranny By Stephen Lendman 7-23-7 George Bush's Continuing War on the First Amendment On July 17, George Bush issued another of his many presidential "one-man" decrees titled "Executive Order: Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq." More than any other chief executive in the nation's history, this President abuses this practice egregiously as another example of his contempt for the law. Economist and journalist Ferdinand Lundberg (1905 - 1995) wrote in his extremely important and revealing book "Cracks in the Constitution:" The US Constitution "nowhere ...
I Was Gagged By The Patriot Act While The Attorney General Was Free To Tell Falsehoods About It

When the USA Patriot Act was being reauthorized in 2005, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales claimed that not one single abuse of the "national security letters" provision had been reported. It must be his poor memory that caused Mr. Gonzales to tell Congress that no abuse had been reported. What else would explain why he did not mention the reports that described abuses and mismanagement of NSLs - which we now discover were in his possession before his testimony? I was one of four library colleagues who challenged an NSL in the courts around the time of its reauthorization. We were under a gag order because of the nondisclosure provision of the NSL section of the Patriot Act. ...

Bush has done it again: issued an Executive Order that gives him unprecedented power. On May 9, he designated himself, and not Congress or the Supreme Court, as the insurer of the Constitution in the event of a national emergency. And on July 17, he issued another Executive Order giving the Secretary of the Treasury the authority to freeze the assets of any person opposing Bush’s Iraq policy who may have committed an act of violence, or even posed “a significant risk of committing” such an act, or “assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, logistical, or technical support” for others committing such acts. These acts that are now verboten would have ...

Don't think 'cause we have iPhones and drive Navigators and run our air conditioners 'round the clock that we're immune from history's all-powerful undertow. We are not. We will join the parade of nations who succumbed to the intoxicating effects of their own poetry, who allowed their loins to trump their minds, who permitted hubris and greed to relentlessly infect its population, and their collective egos to swell until the outer skin blistered and popped and oozed life itself, puddling onto the sooty ground that was once ...

Bush hits 25% approval by mgris [Subscribe] Mon Jul 23, 2007 at 02:51:58 PM PDT George W Bush's approval ratings just hit 25% in the latest American Research Group poll. It's not just his practically complete disapproval by Democrats that hurts Bush. The disapproval by Independents and Republicans is growing. The ranks will continue to punish Bush as scandals grow and the public is informed of Bush's crimes. If you don't think there is room for growth in Bush's disapproval ratings, remember: we are in a country where very recently, 41% of the public were convinced, just last month, that "Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, ...

When executive Privilege Becomes Executive Disdain
Post Date: 2007-07-22 22:38:17 by Brian S

The Bush administration, which has been pushing presidential power to new extremes, is reportedly developing an even more dangerous new theory of executive privilege. It says that if Congress holds White House officials in contempt for withholding important evidence in the U.S. attorney scandal, the Justice Department simply will not pursue the charges. This stance tears at the fabric of the Constitution and upends the rule of law. Congress has a constitutional right to investigate the purge of nine U.S. attorneys last year. And there is no doubt that the investigation has unearthed improprieties: Several administration officials have already admitted illegal or improper actions involving ...

Embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales made a surprise appearance Friday on Justice Vision -- an internal videoconferencing feed of the Department of Justice -- to assure employees that he would not step down from his post after his department was found taking political considerations into account during its hiring procedures. "From my perspective, there are two options available in light of these allegations. I could walk away, as some have demanded, or I could devote my time, effort, and energy to fix the problems," he said. "Since I've never been one to quit, I've decided that the best course of action was to remain here and fix the problems. That is exactly ...

Willful or outrageous acts of personal abuse done to humiliate or degrade someone in a way so serious that any reasonable person would "deem the acts to be beyond the bounds of human decency, such as sexual or sexually indecent acts undertaken for the purpose of humiliation, forcing the individual to perform sexual acts or to pose sexually, threatening the individual with sexual mutilation."

Mention the President, Lose a Case? Defense motion to ban George W. Bush's name at trial defeated Apparently President George W. Bush is now so unpopular that some lawyers believe the mere mention of his name in front of a jury could tip the scales against them. Attorneys Michael P. Laffey and Robert P. DiDomenicis of Holsten & Associates in Media, Pa., are defending Upper Darby Township, Pa., in a civil rights suit brought by Harold Lischner, an 82-year-old doctor who claims he was falsely arrested for displaying an anti-war sign at a Bush campaign event in September 2003. With the case set to go to trial on July 23, the defense lawyers recently filed a flurry of ...

As you read this, please refer back to the post I did on "There is no Constitution." This post is a very good tool to begin going forward and understanding what has actually happened to America. Historical Outline 1st: Martial Law is declared by President Lincoln on April 24th, 1863, with General Orders No. 100; under martial law authority, Congress and President Lincoln institute continuous martial law by ordering the states (people) either conscribe troops and or provide money in support of the North or be recognized as enemies of the nation; this martial law Act of Congress is still in effect today. This martial law authority gives the President (with or without Congress) the ...

US Constitution and the Founding Scoundrels Posted By: GnoseBob Date: Thursday, 14 July 2005, 2:32 p.m. Unfortunately the original Confederate constitution was patterned after the 1787 US Constitution which itself was a repudiation of the whole revolutionary war effort against British dominance. Constitutions are quite unnecessary unless a people surrender all their sovereignty to a government in which case restraints are seemingly necessary to keep that government from ending the people's liberties. The primary mistake with any government is to rely on the democratic process, for by one's vote one surrenders one's sovereignty to those for whom one votes. Any government, and ...
