Preserve, protect and defend
Author: Raine

The DoJ declassified a memo from 2003. Yes. another one. Many more are still missing... but if this is an indicator of what we have yet to see... wow...
But this is the real kicker...
No where in the constitution does it give the executive branch that authority.
They knew they were breaking the law and committing unconstitutional acts. They did it then and they are doing it now. The very idea that they have people writing memo's to figure out how to get around the constitution should tell us about how little this Executive branch regards our precious Constitution. They pick and choose the amendments like it is some game.
The constitution is for EVERYONE, not the Executive branch's to use against the people.
If it wasn't so late in this administration's term, I would ask that every American send one dollar to go towards a fund so we could force these lawbreaking criminal nitwits back to a constitutional law class.
The idea that the constitution must be broken in order to save a nation is unseemly at the very least, and a HIGHLY treasonous crime imo. Mr. Yoo should be stripped of his citizenship. And *ush -- well -- I have spoken of how I feel about him many times here in this space. From Article II, section One United states Constitution:
Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
That is the presidents job - to protect the constitution, not break it. This country will be unraveling the damage of the past 8 years for a long time. This election is VERY important; let's make sure we get the right person for the job! Let's elect someone who will treat the constitution like the beautiful document it is!
See you inside!
:peace: and
Raine
The memo, written by John Yoo, then a key architect of legal policy in the wake of 9/11, dismisses several legal impediments to the use of extreme techniques.
Yoo was long a proponent of an aggressive approach in the war against terrorism and a believer in executive branch authority. But the memo was withdrawn as formal government policy less than a year after it was written.
In the March 14, 2003 memo, Yoo says the Constitution was not in play with regard to the interrogations because the Fifth Amendment (which provides for due process of law) and the Eighth Amendment (which prevents the government from employing cruel and usual punishment) does "not extend to alien enemy combatants held abroad.":
The memo goes on to explain that federal criminal statutes regarding assault and other crimes against the body don't apply to authorized military interrogations overseas and that statutes that do apply to the conduct of U.S. officials abroad pertaining to war crimes and torture establish a limited obligation on the part of interrogators to refrain from bodily harm.
"If a government defendant were to harm an enemy combatant during an interrogation in a manner that might arguably violate a criminal prohibition, he would be doing so in order to prevent further attacks on the United States by the al Qaeda terrorist network," Yoo wrote. "In that case, we believe that he could argue that the executive branch's constitutional authority to protect the nation from attack justified his actions."
They knew they were breaking the law and committing unconstitutional acts. They did it then and they are doing it now. The very idea that they have people writing memo's to figure out how to get around the constitution should tell us about how little this Executive branch regards our precious Constitution. They pick and choose the amendments like it is some game.

Morning, folks. Only time for a quickie...
I'm in meetings virtually all day. I might have time for a blow-through around lunchtime, but that's about it.

Thank you KO!!!!!
From CNN
A former Wal-Mart employee who suffered severe brain damage in a traffic accident won't have to pay back the company for the cost of her medical care, Wal-Mart told the family Tuesday.
Debbie Shank, 52, has severe brain damage after a traffic accident in May 2000.
"Occasionally, others help us step back and look at a situation in a different way. This is one of those times," Wal-Mart Executive Vice President Pat Curran said in a letter. "We have all been moved by Ms. Shank's extraordinary situation."
Eight years ago, Debbie Shank was stocking shelves for the retail giant and signed up for Wal-Mart's health and benefits plan.
After a tractor-trailer slammed into her minivan, the 52-year-old mother of three lost much of her short-term memory and was confined to a wheelchair. She now lives in a nursing home.
She also lost her 18-year-old son, Jeremy, who was killed shortly after arriving in Iraq. When Debbie Shank asks family members how her son is doing and they remind her that he's dead, she weeps as if hearing the news for the first time.

Good morning everyone.
It was a brutal night in the salt mine and I came home pooped.
Oh, why can't I get a normal night's sleep (or a job where I can get a normal night's sleep).

At the rate she's going, if her behavior creates a President McCain, she will be hopefully ostracized and that will finish off her political ambitions for good.

Carville and others say that I owe President Clinton's wife my endorsement because he gave me two jobs. Would someone who worked for Carville then owe his wife, Mary Matalin, similar loyalty in her professional pursuits? Do the people now attacking me recall that I ran for president, albeit unsuccessfully, against Sen. Clinton? Was that also an act of disloyalty?

Earlier this week I announced tha tI would be doing a audicon Blog this friday. Those plans will have to be delayed until next Monday, as April 4 is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of the Reverand Martin Luther King Jr.
I hope you understand that I feel it FAR more important to honour one of our greatest American Heroes.

And why do people still treat him seriously? Maybe we would have been better off dealing with Romney or Fred Thompson.
And where's the Fred Grump drop?

I am bookmarking this. This is great information.
Scary, but really important stuff.
I still cannot believce no one is pounding him on the Keating issue.
Not to mention he HAS broken Federal Election laws.
No one in the media seems to want to talk about the fact that he is in violation of Public Financing laws.

It is totally disrespectful for Scarborough to treat a guest like crap on the bottom of his shoe. I wrote a letter to MSNBC. She deserves an on air apology. I know hosts insult guests all the time if they don't agree with the talking points and BS, but this one was bad enough for me to put keyboard to email thingy. One time when Uncle Pat told another panelist to shut up, Rachel gave him the what's what on air. As I recall, the host (and I can't remember who was moderating the election night coverage), said nothing. It was probably the other tool, Chris Matthews. If it weren't for Keith, I wouldn't watch MSNBC. Harumpf.
