A Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

As we read on this site yesterday, Kevin R.C. Gutzman has just released The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution. For what my opinion is worth, this is one of the most important books of the past 25 years. There is absolutely nothing like it, anywhere. The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution is not another of the toothless and forgettable laments about the death of the Constitution at the hands of activist judges that we read from time to time from the right-wing pundit class, though of course Gutzman decries both of these things. This is a far more sweeping, much more fundamentally devastating indictment of the Supreme Court, of the "legal training" that ...

Judge wannabes refuse to endorse constitution Questionnaire sought confirmation of support for state law of the land None of the 19 candidates currently seeking appointment to fill a vacancy in the Idaho Supreme Court, was willing to confirm support for a series of statements drawn directly from the state's constitution, according to the Idaho Values Alliance. The pro-family organization sent the candidates for the important judicial post a routine questionnaire asking whether they agreed or disagreed with a list of statements. For example, Question 1 asked whether the candidates would agree with the statement: "The Founders of the state of Idaho were grateful to God for ...

Ex-Constitution by Kevin R. C. Gutzman by Kevin R. C. Gutzman DIGG THIS Psst. I have news for you: the Constitution you live under has an extremely attenuated relationship to the one Thomas Jefferson swore to administer 206 years ago. In significant respects, the current American federal system is in fact the polar opposite of the one he knew and loved. How is it that questions such as whether abortion is allowed and when, whether homosexuals may marry each other and where, what penalties may be imposed on convicted criminals and when, and who received Florida’s electoral votes in the election of 2000 have been and continue to be decided by federal judges? The short answer is that ...

Court Rules in Favor of Enemy Combatant By ZINIE CHEN SAMPSON Associated Press Writer RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The Bush administration cannot legally detain a U.S. resident it suspects of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent without charging him, a divided federal appeals court ruled Monday. "To sanction such presidential authority to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain civilians, even if the President calls them 'enemy combatants,' would have disastrous consequences for the constitution - and the country," the court panel said. In the 2-1 decision, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel found that the federal Military Commissions Act doesn't strip ...
Man Labeled "Enemy Combatant" Wins Court Case

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush lacks the power to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain a Qatari national and suspected al Qaeda operative who is the only person being held in the United States as an "enemy combatant," a U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday. In a major setback for the Bush's policies in the war on terrorism adopted after the September 11 attacks, the appellate panel ruled the government's evidence afforded no basis to treat Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri as an "enemy combatant" and ordered his release from military custody.
Olbermann guest: Suspending habeas corpus has made us less safe

Keith Olbermann reported Thursday on the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act of 2007, calling it "a historical restoration project, the reconstruction of one of the cornerstones of American democracy." The Military Commissions Act, passed last year by the Republican Congress, stripped away the fundamental Constitutional right of habeas corpus. Now the Senate Judiciary Committee, in voting for the Restoration Act, has taken the first step in restoring it. Olbermann asked constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley about the argument by supporters of the Military Commissions Act that habeas corpus has been suspended before in times of war without destroying the Republic. Turley ...

Rigged Debates And Jailed Reporters

America's political king-makers may not have absolute control, but they do have effective control. Much of the manipulation of public perception comes through the establishment media, who serve as the self-appointed sponsors of presidential debates. When a candidate like Rep. Ron Paul, with millions of grass-root supporters, threatens to break through they sideline him as "second tier," limit his camera time, and suppress the overwhelming public support on post-debate web polls. When even that fails to work, we see them arrest reporters outside the debate arena who dare ask 9/11 conspiracy questions of the mainstream candidates. The media used to be able to get away with ...

The Oklahoma City Bombing: 30 Unanswered Questions

Despite Timothy McVeigh's guilty verdict, numerous unanswered questions about the murderous Oklahoma City bombing remain. Indeed, there are so many unanswered questions, it is amazing that the prosecution was able to secure a conviction at all. So pull up a front-row seat for the McVeigh lynching, folks, and contemplate a few of the contradictions in the official account of the OKC bombing before it all gets flushed down the memory hole. 1. If the bombing of the Alfred E. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City was a terrorist reprisal for the Federal massacre of the Branch Davidians at Waco, why were no BATF or FBI agents injured? Why was EVERY BADGE-CARRYING FEDERAL AGENT absent ...

Terror rendition prisons 'did exist' Last Modified: 07 Jun 2007 By: Jonathan Miller Secret prisons run by the CIA did exist in Europe to facilitate the worldwide kidnap and torture of terror suspects according to an official investigation. Dick Marty, the author of a report for the Council of Europe, told Channel 4's Dispatches programme - 'we can now confirm that there were secret CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.' The governments of both countries have vigorously denied any involvement. But investigators found that the facilities were run by CIA operatives reporting directly to the offices of the country's presidents. Suspicions 'right all along' ...

The Texas Congressman joined Tucker Carlson for an eight minute interview. Watch the video below. "They should have a tamper-proof I.D. card.

The Judiciary Committee voted 11-8 to send the proposal to the full Senate for debate, with Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania the lone Republican joining the Democratic majority. Congress last year revoked the rights of foreign terrorism suspects labeled "enemy combatants" to challenge their detention by the United States. The Bush administration said it was ...

Now, this 10 megabyte document is there for you to read any time you want. Send your Thank You cards to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. On a government website yesterday, we learned – and I quote – “The Handbook is an essential document for understanding and complying with the National Firearms Act.” Well, aren’t we some lucky people.

The Prison is the War Crime No "Unlawful" Enemy Combatants at Guantanamo By MARJORIE COHN In 2002, Donald Rumsfeld famously called the detainees at Guantánamo "the worst of the worst." General Richard B. Myers, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned they were "very dangerous people who would gnaw hydraulic lines in the back of a C-17 to bring it down." These claims were designed to justify locking up hundreds of men and boys for years in small cages like animals. George W. Bush lost no time establishing military commissions to try the very "worst of the worst" for war crimes. But four and a half years later, the Supreme Court ...

The ageing former leader of the CIA's "Secret Army" in Laos was in an American prison last night, accused of mounting a coup against his and Washington's old Communist enemy. General Vang Pao, 77, and nine other people were arrested in dawn raids by more than 200 federal agents in dawn raids across California. The detentions were the culmination of 'Operation Tarnished Eagle', a six-month investigation into an attempt to bring down Laos' Communist government. According to prosecutors Vang Pao and his co-conspirators planned to spend almost USD 10 million (pounds 5 million) on weaponry including assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, Stinger surface-to-air ...

Don't We Have a Constitution, Not a King? By Marjorie Cohn, AlterNet Posted on June 1, 2007, Printed on June 6, 2007 http://www.alternet.org/story/52801/ As the nation focused on whether Congress would exercise its constitutional duty to cut funding for the war, Bush quietly issued an unconstitutional bombshell that went virtually unnoticed by the corporate media. The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007, would place all governmental power in the hands of the President and effectively abolish the checks and balances in the Constitution. If a "catastrophic emergency" -- which could include a terrorist attack or a natural ...
