Restoring the "Rule of Law"

May 21, 2009

President Obama said three words today repeatedly that were avoided like a plague during the Bush Administration:

RULE OF LAW

Finally someone gets it. Finally, we have a President that takes his oath to uphold the Constitution seriously.
Thank God. And not a moment too soon.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

    Hi: With compliments to Bernie Madoff
    Into the Ocean
    You teach people
    how to treat you,
    when you don’t care
    if you rip them off,
    you get ripped off,
    eventually,
    tit for tat
    on the big karmic spin,
    sorry bout that,
    if it isn’t one tit
    it’s another,
    isn’t it,
    don’t much matter
    what level you’re at,
    water seeks its own,
    into the ocean,
    bye and bye.

    Skip,
    Can you have Liz Cheney water boarded to get her confession that her father is actually a frightened little man who was trustd with much power and he went to far. And that water boarding is not simply “enhanced interrogation.
    Because if W/B is not torture then cutting off limbs and coterizing the open wound(s) is just enhanced interrogation as well. Maybe pulling pulling eye balls out is “enhanced interrogation too.
    Have it done, OK?
    Or is it that one must be a Bush Adm official to be able to torture?

    This is Alex from Close Up this past week. Some of the people on the trip waited outside the National Archives and actually got to see him walk out to his limo after the speech! I was jealous.
    But yes, thank god this is happening.

    I say lets keep the Cheney/Bush concept of the “rule of law”. We could then ship them all off to Guantanamo indefinately without the expense of costly trials and that messy thing called unfabricated evidence.
