remember, they’re all lawyers before becoming politicians… they make laws and then they think up creative ways to circumvent them… getting rid of a law or enforcing what has already been established is not their natural inclination…. see the national debt for a good example….politicians/lawyers ought to think of their work as part of the disposal/recycle business… they are “full of it” most of the time and need to learn how to “get rid” of rather then “add to” the last guys mess…. this is what lawyers do though: make things messier….

should say “The current laws are NOT being followed…”

I tend to agree with you here. Our crises is really about the fact that our congress is not keeping it’s agreement with the american public who elected them to provide oversight. The current laws are being followed so why make more laws NOT to follow??

The Tinker Bell Law

Sorry, but this kind of crap is a waste of time. Congress needs to enforce existing violations of the law instead of trying to think up every loophole that a creative administration will dream up in the future. That’s a fool’s errand - the problem isn’t that the law is ambiguous, it’s that the administration is contemptuous of laws and the body that creates them. Every time they do one of these “let’s criminalize waterboarding again and then it will be really illegal” exercises they are playing into the adminsration’s hands.

Don’t those guys get tired of being beaten like a drum?

Just in time to prevent any new admin from doing to them what they have done to everyone else.
Why now? What’s the hurry?

I don’t like the 30 day notice. That’s 30 days of extra mischief. What’s wrong with 5 business days?

Anyway, even if Bush does sign it, it will be in disappearing ink.
