You folks should read the FPP link, really! And, I know that most of you are smart enough to get it, and interested in the implications (maybe with the exception of Actually Settle.) To stress it again, it's a bunch of excellently qualified people who have banded together to protest the assumption of powers by Bush's administration to ignore all the laws that have applied in the past with the excuse that Bush is godlike in ignoring them because he says he is. You all will get all up in arms about a stupid girl who appeared on American Idol, but you think this is worth no comment that isn't offhand? This isn't the MoFi I know.
