I like this little swipe at the GOP spinsters:

"For the court to find for [the U.S. government] would also be to engage in judicial activism. This court sits to interpret the law as it is and not as the court might wish it to be. Pursuant to its interpretation, the court finds that the President has no power, neither express nor implied, neither constitutional nor statutory, to hold [Padilla] as an enemy combatant," Floyd wrote.

But I agree. Holding an American citizen indefinitely - without being charged - goes against the core tenets of the United States. The President doesn't have the authority to do it, and I'm glad judge after judge is calling him on it. Eventually it will hit the Supreme Court, they'll knock it down as well, and Bush will have smeared himself in the headlines.

Woo.

Sadly Jesus elected Bush, so these ultra left wing judges are wrong. And Janet Jackson's titty hurt America and it's pursuit of liberty and guns, so Bush should be able to jail whoever he choose. Blame Hollywood

See, the way I remember being taught, people were innocent until proven guilty. Now, I'm just throwing this idea out there - call me CRAZY - but if the government had any solid evidence against Padilla worth presenting to a judge, he would've been charged with an actual crime by now.

Has nothing to do with terrorists to be honest, this is a basic rights issue when dealing with being arrested. If you are arrested, I would expect that you would have to be charged with a crime in 48 hours TOPS or be released. When we as a people allow this type of thing to happen to the least of us, we set a precedent that allows it to be done to the REST of us.

ACTIVIST JUDGES ARE RUINING AMERICA

Har har, the irony in his ruling is AWESOME. Suck it down, freepers. Your fortnight amnesty is almost over anyhow.

Also, those calling Padilla a terrorist are fucking retarded. The Govt. hasn't charged him with anything in specific because... it doesn't have shit!

I'm harmless. I'm a pacifist for one, and for two I'm usually too drunk to be effective at much of anything other than shit talking.

Now, we need to get rid of the bullshit "enemy combatant" status for non-citizens as well. This is a nice first step, though.

I firmly believe Bush supporters would drink the KoolAid ala Jonestown or Heaven's Gate if instructed to by their fearless leader.

Go easy on him - mashed potatoes are very tasty and take a lot of time to prepare; any help mashing the potatoes is appreciated.

That picture reminds me of Olimario for some reason.

Well, his name has the word "potatoe", not "potatoes". Was it the first Bush's VP who misspelled it? Or was it tomato. Anyways, mashed potatoes are easily prepared while watching TV.
