This week, the justices ruled that the unelected strongman they appointed president in December 2000 does not have the unqualified right to arrest people without charges and put them in a dungeon forever -- at least not without allowing his victims to float up briefly in some conveniently undefined judicial "process." Not necessarily "a regular civilian court," mind you -- maybe a military tribunal, the justices suggested helpfully. And the defendants will be presumed guilty unless they can somehow prove themselves innocent -- with only limited, government-monitored contact with their attorneys. But at least the Bushists will have to produce a scrap of paper now and then to justify their body-snatching operations.

. . . . . . . . . . .

We're glad that the Supreme Court has put a few weak fetters on some of the more blatant aspects of Bush's rampant Caesarism. But the rotten state of the Republic -- its once-proud people scrambling for crumbs in the fetid mud of Bush's Murder Incorporated -- is not something any patriot can celebrate on Independence Day.

Well yes, it's easy to have a different take when you don't have to bother with fact-checking or don't care your entire article is just one giant insult.

Is this what passes as "news" with you?

classic soviet cliches......damn, I miss it. Still, I always have NTW's rants to amuse me in thier absence.

That be a wonderful argument... If The Moscow Times was a newspaper that supports the Russian government. The truth is that it is a newspaper founded by a Dutchman, the same who founded the Russian Playboy magazine, and is highly critical of Putin's government.

It would be something different if you found a similar argument in a Putin approved newspaper but I doubt you can find it.
 
Very colorful use of words! I should read more from outside of North America.

I especially like the term "Bush's rampant Caesarism". Perhaps Caligulaism might be more appropriate.

It's comforting that the american supreme court is basically restating that the president is NOT above the law. The last dude who thought he was above the law (probably sincerely) was good old tricky Dick.

Spin is spin. You have to learn to filter it. You can learn a lot by seeing what others in the world get to read.
