Dammit, Roger!
Normally I find Roger Hedgecock to be superior to Rush when he substitutes.
Today he's missing the point badly, and I'm sure intentionally.
On the question of giving citizens immunity from enemy lawsuits, which is being pushed by the heroic Peter King, Hedgecock is strictly blaming the Dems in Congress for obstructing the law.
In almost the same breath, Hedgecock knocks Congress for trying to pull us out of Iraq, saying CORRECTLY that Congress isn't supposed to run the war.
Yes, the executive is supposed to run the war.
So why in the hell isn't the executive protecting citizens from enemy lawsuits? Bush could enforce this by executive order.
Instead (breaking news just this moment) he has IMPOSED THE GENEVA CONVENTION ON OUR INTERROGATION OF TERRORISTS BY EXECUTIVE ORDER.
Well, anyone with half a brain can no longer wonder about it. Bush is on the other side. He enthusiastically prosecutes our soldiers and border guards when they dare to do their job; he allows the enemy to use courts against Americans; and he orders our interrogators to stand down. He uses up our treasury and our military in an effort to accomplish a goal that no rational human believes to be possible.
How much more evidence do we need? ¶ 10:50 AM
