could be worse. under bush it was legal to throw people in prison
without charge, without a lawyer and without due process. you right
wingers didn't have much to say then, did you?

More 'Bush Rationale'.

I do not think that the Pres has the authority to demand that he be
given such time so schools are free to ignore him. His message does
not seem to address any educational issues. Volunteerism is not part
of education we have agreed to provide so his message is irrelevant.
Any message from the president is no more relevant than any message
from anybody else and a message from an educational authority might be
acceptable if it was apolitical. There does not seem to be any
purpose of Oboma's message other than politics.
As far as Bush throwing people in prison without charge, we discussed
that in a previous thread, it simply did not happen even to Padilla,
he was charged with "being an enemy combatant" but wf3h keeps changing
his mind about what he means so the discussion went nowhere. The
questionable provisions of the Patriot act that I DID protest were
later stricken.
