Pre-crime lives.

Screw this I'm moving to China.

Only a few days ago I suggested Obama would rework not reject the 'Citizens for Guantanamo' act.

"A appropriate legal regime for pre-crime"

So now there is a fourth power in the Legal structure.

Amazing to see Obama drink from the non-existant Alqueda cup with as much gusto as Bush the younger.

Somebody want to get the lights? I'm pretty sure America is over.

I'll get the door and put the cat out.

I'm still getting my head around this brain-fuck.

Obama is doing away with Judicial oversight of putting people in Custody after being charged with 'Terrorist' activities and leaving the length of Custody to be determined by those Agencies that sought Custody.

This has the odour of the 'Big lie' about it, make a proposal so outrageous and beyond the scope of usual understanding that nobody really believes it to be true and thus the Legislation passes without the full rigour of usual Public scrutiny.

Obama was playing a artful fake in this speech by drawing attention to the failings of Bush the younger, not normally done so that while the Audience was distracted by this breach of protocol he slips the 'Big lie' in and nobody really notices, except for Maddow.

She reminds me of the last Monks of the Christian early history, so close they came, by virtue of small numbers, to the extinction of a concept.

Look guys, communists always go this way in the end. No real surprises except the dupes who elected him. Although not really surprised by that either, all that anti-Bush stuff was a bunch of liars lying.

But he said he was going to put the door back up. In fact he was elected expressly for that purpose, according to every Obama voter I talked to.

He didn't do that did he?

...after Cheney shot off the hinges.

those meetings between him and Jooliar where obviously productive... how to distract the media and conversation from the vast quantities of turdlike legislation and economic problems....

throw gay marriage on the conservative/progressive bushfire!

obama whimped out and only did so via foreign aid.. our mob did a deliberately ineffective "conscious vote" buahahaha..

interesting times.

I think the time for laughing at the guy that got ate by the shark is past, what with us all in the same sinking lifeboat.

Mr Perfect, you might want to work on being more amenable to the USG party line. Saying unpopular things could get dangerous with this sort of thing going on.

I know, I know, it's for Muzzies only. Most treacherous animal on the planet is a politician saying " trust me", though.

Codification of this practice is the last step in normalisation of this practice.

Yeah, but back then, it was ad hoc, unofficial policy made up by operators in theater as they had to, with a small and specific group of people being subjected to the process.

Now, it's deliberate and officially sanctioned, made up by demonstrably corrupt politicians as they feel like it, targeting potentially anybody on the planet

Things are so very much better now.

McCain is a foolish gadfly in the Senate who is notorious for not reading legislation while being vocally incontinent. He is abusive towards his staff and verbally abusive towards his wife. It repulses me that he holds a Senate seat and it shouldn't be surprising that when the chips are down, Mr.McCain would show the smallness of his being.
