What an idiot. The Pubs are winning big on this issue. Americans want to win the war not conduct criminal investigations of terrorists. We don't want judges on battlefields.

The President has the power under the Constitution.
Why should Specter get a ruling when the President already has he power to protect us under the Constitition? Specter must be in bed with the other Demorats on the Committee.

I wonder if the President will sign or veto that legislation.
