Cafferty is usually very one sided but I doubt he is making this up...

Does anyone else have any more information about this?

I could not find a thread that was talking about this.

How can they do this? I really hate to label people a dictator, but when you're committing war crimes and just pardoning yourself, it's hard to say that you're not a dictator.

This is old if you aren't aware. Originally from October 2006 I believe, I don't know the bills name though so I don't know if it passed.

Clinton did this as well to a great extent. Most presidents do it.

I had no idea it was old, would be very very interested in more info on the name of this bill ><

Military Commissions Act of 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Commissions_Act)

Specifically, the provision of "Protections from criminal and civil prosecutions for previous instances of alleged torture." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Commissions_Act#Protections_from_criminal _and_civil_prosecutions_for_previous_instances_of_ alleged_torture)

I was a happy GOP conservative till I meet Bush 43. Voted for him twice....and now I hate him. He has watered down conservatism(by this I mean limited Govt and low taxes) to the point of no return. He has helped create huge govt powers. His legacy is all about the wars even if it breaks this country.....and we damn near broke.

He has set up so much govt powers....it will be very easy for a socialist to walk right in, take over and push the limit even more and not look radical doing it.
Why? Bush has dumbeddown the shock value of socialism.

Moderates will continue to kill this country.....liberals will do it faster.

I still believe the bill of rights individual liberty and limited govt (ron paul style) is the only things that has EVER brought everyone together.

Obama will take his landslide as a mandate and run with it. His doesnt know that his votes where almost all about "anybody but Bush...anybody but the GOP" and not about him and his "ideas".

We are headed for more conflict.....this time it will be state-side.

there is the theory that g.w bush will step down in a quiet & contritely nixonian manner so
as to have ex-veep cheney positioned and situated so that he can pardon thah "W" :rolleyes:

[Truth Warrior]

Who on Earth would EVER give him THAT power? :D

[Aratus]

the only thing slowing this down is that dick cheney has no dirt on ms. pelosi, yet folks around ms. pelosi think they have the goods on dick cheney and his golden CEO-admin parachute... --- CHENEY AGAIN LACKs An EXIT STRATEGY! --- !!! O my! ...and here you thought G.W Bush to be the total idiot!

Yeah, they passed a law declaring both Obama and McCain eligible for the office, too. Fortunately, no law that runs counter to the Constitution has any effect. Of course, this requires the Supreme Court to do its job...
