[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]I no more expect a ICBM shield to prevent standard terrorist attacks[/QUOTE] Especially if our missile defense can only shoot down ICBMs broadcasting a "Hi! Here I am!" message to the missiles we're using to shoot it down. Jury-rigging missile tests? C'mon guys. If it doesn't work, just admit it, eh? Still, one wonders if Conservatives read the Constitution. Regulating interstate commerce is clearly a power given the Federal government (sec. 8), but Omega seems hell bent against it. As for suspension of habeas corpus ... [i]The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended; unless when in case of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.[/i] Well, safe to say a rag-tag army of POed Democrats isn't going to carry Bush out of the White House in chains any time soon (although you might've wanted to mention something along those lines to angry NRA members, who while the election was being decided by the Supreme Court, threatened to break out their guns if Gore won the White House). And I very sincerely doubt that soldiers of fanatical, fundementalist, American-hating, Taliban-loving Muslims are going to start storming Ocean City, MD or Virginia Beach. Or anywhere, for that matter. Therefore, what possible motive could there be for Bush to suspend the writ of habeas corpus? He can't say, "for the purposes of National Security, you can't have your habeas corpus." He has to have very specific things happen to do so, and they haven't happened yet. But, hey, the era of Big Brother has arrived, in the name of "National Security". And surprise, surprise ... guess who is in charge? The same guy who gave the Taliban $48 million bucks. If Clinton had done this before a terrorist attack on the U.S., Rob and Omega would be screaming that Clinton had deliberately given the money to Bin Laden through the Taliban so that he could get his poll numbers up.
