Judicial Accountability and Constitutional Issues
Constitution Supreme Clause

With their victories in November, Republicans not only extended their
control over the White House, but aggressively expanded their hold over
both the Senate and the House of Representatives. As a result, the
Washington Republicans are now in the best position they have ever been
to pursue and put in place their extremist agenda -- an agenda that will
place the needs of the special interests over the desires of the average
American for a government that creates opportunity, fairness, and
security.
Here are a few of the ways they're planning to threaten our basic
rights:
Shifting the tax burden to working families. They'll call it "reform,"
but they've got only one thing in mind: shifting the tax burden from the
wealthiest Americans onto the backs of the lower- and middle-class
taxpayers. They're already floating ideas like a national sales tax that
will make average families pay more.
Undermining Social Security. The Bush administration is gearing up to
reintroduce its disastrous plan to undermine the retirement security of
every single American. Their plan ensures a guaranteed benefit cut for
all Americans and creates a new debt of one trillion dollars for our
children and grandchildren.
Packing the Supreme Court with extremists. This is the greatest danger
to our fundamental constitutional rights that will affect all our lives
for decades to come. A Supreme Court retirement could come at any
moment, and three or more justices could retire over the course of
Bush's term. If Bush nominates extremist judges to the nation's highest
court for lifetime appointments -- as he has done with the lower courts
-- all the rights we hold dear will be at risk.
The Democratic Party will be there to fight all of these battles. And
we're depending on your help to win them. It is up to us to protect our
values from the Republicans' attacks. They want to take a narrow
election victory and cast it into a broad mandate for an extreme agenda.
In the coming weeks and months, we'll be telling you about what we're
doing to win these fights, and how you are the key to helping us win.
Thank you,
Doug, Jesse, Nancy, Morra, and Eric

And so the blunder continues. Did Rumsfeld bring any armor with him
when he made his surprise photo opportunity trip to the troops in Iraq?
Or just more body bags? For this Vietnam like quagmire, so similar to
McNamara and his blunders, excuses. rifles recalls and such... They
just void their conscience...they are "Plantation boys"..".yes men" as
they are called...widow makers... and let the soldiers die in stupid
repetitious ambushes.
So predictable every day on the news. And their explanations for the
needless deaths so predictable also.
They put Saddam Hussein in power. Now there is no WMD and now they
captured Saddam Hussein. Law of Diminishing Returns.
Iraq was not responsible for 9/11. And that was the second attack on
the same building.
And nothing done about the Israel/Palestine land conflict.

Apparently, there is no Congressional or Judicial Accountability for
anything in this Unconstitutional war.
