. .endowed with certain inalienable, UNENFORCEABLE, rights

[pat_k]

The War Criminals Protection Act of 2006 has ONE goal -- to protect the War Criminals in the Executive Branch from prosecution for the the war crimes they have committed (and continue to commit).

To that end, the bill seeks to gut U.S. Code of any avenue through which they could be prosecuted, even going so far as to strip our courts of the ability to examine their actions. It is a transparent attempt to escape the consequences that their actions would demand in any civilized society. Their attempt to escape prosecution demonstrates their consciousness of guilt.

The so-called "definition problem" is nothing compared to this part (page 79 of http://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/nkk/documents/MilitaryCommissions.pdf">Bush's version):

(b) RIGHTS NOT JUDICIALLY ENFORCEABLE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—No person in any habeas action or any other action may invoke the Geneva Conventions or any protocols thereto as a source of rights, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose in any court of the United or its States or territories.

So, now it's:

. . .We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable, UNENFORCEABLE, Rights.

2. "The War Crimes Protection Act of 2006" excellent name nm

3. Meant "War Criminals Protection Act." (just edited)

"Criminals" personalizes it in a way that is more effective.

It would go a long way to killing this thing if we can insert the name into the noise machine.

4. Agreed! War Criminals Protection Act of 2006 nm
