Anyway, if anything this passing makes it MORE likely we’ll have a Constitutional Crisis somewhere down the road here. what happens when this goes to court?

unless of course the plan is never to challenge anything at all. hey, it’s worked out real well so far! we could TOTALLY avoid any Constitutional Crisis, like, ever, if we just all agree to ditch the stupid piece of crap altogether! ‘k?

the sad part is i bet i’m not even exaggerating.

[...] People I respect are still mistakenly calling for moderate response to the Democrats’ laydown. As I wrote yesterday, the entire Dem strategy is a losing effort. They sell out in the short term, which buys them little, and then can’t hold the moral high ground in the long term, which means they can’t ever call the Republicans on their shit. It will never work. [...]

Marc, the problem is after I kill myself they’ll claim I was still fighting them using “asymmetric warfare”. No way to win…
I’m just sitting here trying to drink enough on an empty stomach to sleep through the night. I am still in shock…

MikeEss,

It’s probably killing you because now they can suspend your rights and torture you until you kill yourself.

With all the bullshit that’s been going on for the last 6-years, I don’t know why, but this one is really killing me. I can’t believe these people are this craven and spineless.

I am the only one who is sickened?

These are my options in November? The Fascist Party and the Milquetoast Party?

Amanda,

Yeah, I read that somewhere, too, but I think it’s too generous, sorry. Look at Kerry’s actions in 2003/4 and the actions of the entire party since 9/11 and you’ll see a consistent pattern. This current behavior fits the bill. The idea that they think they’re averting a Consitutional crisis doesn’t pass Occam’s razor and distracts us from the real work of changing the party NOW.

jesus. i guess it’s possible, and i certainly wouldn’t put it past Bush in terms of intention; but does he really have the power to pull this sort of thing off at this point?

I don’t know if it makes me more cynical or more naive or both, but I’m inclined to chalk most of it up to, once again, path of least resistance.

anyway, yeah, every time they wait till next time to push it, it becomes increasingly difficult to do it “next time” or even ensure that there’ll -be- a “next time.”

the real problem isn’t so much what they’re doing now; it’s what they didn’t do last time and the time before and this time two years ago and that one four years ago and the other six years ago (and all the occasions in between) and oh, yeah: all the times they rolled over during the past administrations as well.
