Mr. Speaker, may I address the
claims made by the Honorable Sen. Nutman?
Perhaps, Mr. Speaker, this is why the also Esteemed Sen. Nelson voted for the entire bill?
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, would it not be reasonable to pass a rule blocking amendments to the DAB that don't have anyfuckingthing to do with it in the future?
That would make it soooo much easier for our Republican House and Filibuster-loving Republicans in the Senate to go back to their honored tradition of doing nothing.
scariest part in all of that?
Rep. Allen West, a tea party Republican from South Florida, said he supports the changes and ticked off the names of recent terrorist suspects caught in the United States. On Wednesday he was named to the panel that will negotiate with the Senate. "There's more of this coming," West said, "and we've got to get serious about understanding that we're being infiltrated right here in our own country."of course Herr West would think that.. so much for that whole 'tea party' huh West.
Look, while I do not share nutty's problem with the killing of an American citizen, if he/she falls under the same type of 'american' as al-Awlaki did.. By giving Obama this power, we also give it to Newt if he becomes president.. or Palin, if she runs next time..
The 'fear' of Osama had done more damage to this country than Osama did himself.. it has to stop somewhere.. it will never stop with a GOP'er in charge, it will only increase because the selling of fear is their bread and butter.. so it has to be stopped by Obama, not amended or veto'd because he doesn't want the hassle of filling out a 'waiver'.. it shouldn't even get that far..
I am surprised at McCain for backing this.. one would think he would be against indefinite military detentions..
