  5. AUMF != Declaration of War on Congress Tries To Strip Power From Anti-Wiretap Judge · · Score: 1
    The US is not at War. You have been fooled, along with many others, that the Iraq invasion was a result of Congress declaring war. The US Congress did absolutely no such thing.

    Just because the bush administration keeps saying 'War', does not change the reality of the fact that it is not a declared war.

    You have to be brain-dead and corrupt to legalize fascism Senator Bond. Maybe that is because you are an alcoholic, but that is no excuse to give in to the the fear-mongering of the bush administration.

    You sir, and other corrupt senators, have no clue how much damage you will be causing. No clue.

  16. Memo to: The Fourth Estate on Tim Russert Dies At 58 · · Score: 1
    PP is spot on.

    Even if you are outside of the United States of America, what happens in the United States of America can and will effect you.

    Tim Russert will be surely missed. He was a leader.

    He set The Standard when it came to investigative political journalism.

    He was prepared for every interview with whomever he met.

    He only sought Truth.

    Those of you that are mourning tonight, must look ahead.
    Tim would want that of you. Embrace your role now.
    Be prepared and dig. Dig as hard as PJ at Groklaw digs for the truth.

    Rest in Peace, Tim Russert, the Americans will expose Truth.

    I don't need any 'approval' from anyone.
