1. Anyone who says yes is deluding themselves

Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy will vote to uphold the bill. Just you watch.

5. I'm fooling myself, I guess.

It's a no brainer.

They may wait until Chimp is out of office to review it (They'll never let a Dem have these evil powers) but it will be overturned.

9. I don't know about Kennedy.

This may be too much for him to overlook.

:shrug:

12. Hey, he voted for Bush v. Gore

I hope he's happy.

2. 6 votes in 5 seconds.

Damn! :wow:

[Virginia Dare]

3. I'm still putting my faith in the Founding Fathers...

and I do think that we can squeak this one by. The law is on our side.

I'm just a cock-eyed optomist today, I guess I'm trying counter-balance all the doom and gloom here today (totally warranted by the way).

11. The Founding Fathers in a squeaker.

My guess (naive hope?), too.

4. If They Don't We'll Have to Have a Civil War

no joke....

[Jacobin]

6. Funny. Last time habeas corpus was suspended was during the Civil War

No joke.

7. 13-11 No.

:scared:

8. Nope, I knew that our Judicial Checks and Balances were weakened

when Roberts was confirmed. However, I knew that once Alito was confirmed, all bets are off with regard to The Supreme Court functioning as a balance to our newly acknowledged dictatorial "Unitary Executive" Branch.

We are true f**ked. If the Democratic Senators would of at least filibustered ONE DAMN thing that this wannabe King has wanted, I'd have a modicum of hope. I'm left hopeless this week. America, as The Great Democratic Experience, is truly f**ked.

Hunker down fellow Americans, this will be a long winter of our discontent, i.e., we ain't seen nothing yet and it's all bad. :(

Absolute Republican Rule for decades to come ... and the world can only watch in horror of the thugs who will continue to rule our beloved Country. :scared: :nuke:

10. 14-13 No.

:scared:

[rockymountaindem]

13. Who the hell thinks this is going to be overturned?

This bill is the law of the land until at least 2008, IMHO.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. See #5.

It's not when, it's if.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. 23-14 No.

:scared:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

16. 25-17
