Dissolving the Supremes
Now that gentleman John Ashcroft has made us safe from terror and crime, he can move on to warning us of an even greater threat: the Constitution of the United States:
Without referring to specific adverse rulings on the treatment of detainees or enemy combatants, Ashcroft blasted "activist" judges for encroaching on the powers that he insists belong solely to the president in wartime.
"The danger I see here is that intrusive judicial oversight and second-guessing of presidential determinations in these critical areas can put at risk the very security of our nation in a time of war," Ashcroft said.
Ashcroft points out that these judges ruling in favor of the Constitution is a smack in the face of overreaching executive powerholders, and that whatever President Bush says should be seen by all as supreme law.
That's Bush's America, love it or get sent to Guantanamo Bay as a terrorist.
