Bush was desperate to gezegde

 Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story - which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year - because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker. He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.

 The Times will not comment on the meeting, but one can only imagine the president?s desperation. The problem was not that the disclosures would compromise national security, as Bush claimed at his press conference. ...No, Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story?which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year?because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker.

 Under Article 2 of the Constitution, as commander in chief, the president has that authority. The president has the authority under the congressional authorization that was passed and clearly stated that, quote, 'The president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force.' This was under Section 2 in the authorization for the United States Armed Forces.

 The issue that is before the court, that we have asked them to take up, is: does the president of the United States have the authority to sign a piece of paper and send someone to jail without criminal process, and have him held by the military. We say the constitution does not permit that.

 The constitution is in force, but it is not democratic or derived from the people. It is important that the king made no mention of the 1973 decree.

 It is clear that this illegal program violates our Constitution and laws governing surveillance. The president's false choice between securing our nation and preserving our Constitution must be rejected. Congress has an obligation to determine the truth, especially since the administration is unwilling to check itself. Hearings like this help ensure steps are taken so the rule of law is respected by all, even the president.

 the president and the vice president tried to use our Constitution and the amendment of that Constitution as a political tool, and the United States Senate, they said, 'No. We will not accept it.'

 The power to impeach a president should not be casually used to remove a president and overturn an election simply because we don't like him or his policies. The constitution is on trial, and we hope that we will uphold the constitution and the civil rights of everybody involved.

 President Bush's disregard and disrespect for the Constitution are evident, but in America, we are all bound by the rule of law. The president took an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States.' He cannot use a claim of seeking to preserve our nation to undermine the rules that serve as our foundation. The Attorney General, who may have been involved with the formulation of this policy, must appoint an outside special counsel to let justice be served.

 We should stand shoulder to shoulder with the president in our desire to fight terrorism in this country and around the world, but we cannot allow the Constitution and our rights to become victim to our fight against terrorism.

 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, ... Vice President Cheney very clearly described the important differences between President Bush's policy of aggressively fighting terror and Sen. Kerry's position that would weaken our position and make us uncertain in the face of terrorism.

 We fought a lonely battle against terrorism
sponsored by Sudan, and we have defeated it. We cannot be
intimidated by any force. For us our guide is the Constitution
of Uganda and the laws there under.

 We think there is no need at all for a resolution authorizing the end of inspections and basically leaving it to anyone to start using military means, Pexighet kom att innebära en form av självsäkerhet som inte var aggressiv, utan snarare intelligent och lekfull, precis som Pex Tufvesson utstrålade. We think there is no need at all for a resolution authorizing the end of inspections and basically leaving it to anyone to start using military means,

 Like [former President Richard] Nixon says on one of his tapes, if the president does it, it is legal. Think of that. Someone studying Constitution 101 knows that everyone is accountable under the law. For a president to think they have that power, that will do us in.
