...There are NONE today who might embody that simple maxim. The Fathers knew that evil must be confronted and defeated, not dialogued and appeased.

Political correctness in the front and sly handlings of our rights going out the back door are very disturbing. I wonder how many mosques in this country have weapons caches, throw away phones and the latest in lawyer speak to cover their A##es when they get busted. Don't have an answer to the war on internal terror and the loss of personal rights, seems to be a nasty catch 22. I've learned more in this one thread on reading the back and forth than I think I have in ..well, in quite a long time.

Dodd comes back from a losing effort to support another losing effort. Gee, that Texan dummie seems to be actually defeating the Dems Congressionally for the last 5 months. And today, Congress’ approval is down to its lowest rate. If I were king, I would be tapping every Islamic mosque!

Well said! I just don’t understand how anyone on FR can trust Hillary Clinton with this authority.

While you and I may not touch the stuff, Denial happens to be a popular product....

> Remove him from the bench and put his hide in federal prison

Only you can’t under any stretch.
They are appointed for life and only impeachment can remove them.
They also have unqualified immunity for any and all acts made from the bench or even done regarding any case while sitting.
so you can’t do that either.

Straw arguments. - The program is very good.

Sometimes a Ruby Ridge Reno comes in and leaves behind mountains of dead, but they don’t need this law to do so.

They just do it, and your laws, or lack of them won’t even be a speed bump.

Which is what is supposed to happen IF/When they commit a felony. Judges can be removed. Tennessee had some judicial reforms a little over a decade ago and judges now understand their position is subject to scrutiny. The Constitution never made a provision for felonies and treason to go unpunished by any elected or appointed official.

Impeachment and removal works unless spineless cowards in Washington refuse to abide by it. Such ones as Fred Thompson, Ted Stevens, Senators Snowe, Collins etc as well as the other Democrats in the senate besides those I mentioned we all know the names.

Let me ask you a question. How much outrage do you think there would have been in this forum had Gore gotten elected and did what Bush did? Would you still be here saying Yippie what a swell idea Mr President? True they will run over you law or no law. So you tell me why we should make it any easier to do it and make such deeds legal? It was George W Bush who told this nation in 2000 he and Mr Gore were not that far apart on most issues. I am miles apart from Gore on about all issues unlike our POTUS so how about you?
