Restore the rule of law in this country is the cry of Liberal Senators, I wonder if this applies to the Senators themselves?

There was a little blurb today published by that liberal of liberal rags, the Nation critiquing the current cry by Senator Feingold of the great vacation state of Wisconsin, for a restoration of the rule of law in this country. They are all for each and every one of the suggestions that came about from a meeting of the Constitution Subcommittee where their unanimous consensus was for "Restoring the Rule of Law", the meeting was attended by historians, law professors and advocates to include the very liberal John Podesta. Basically, what I can garner from the article is, and I am putting this in simple terms that I can understand, that The Honorable Mr. Feingold along with his cohorts in the House and The Senate want to be included in the decision making process by the incoming President elect Mr. Obama and his people. That they don't want to be left out in the cold as they have, and in most cases deservedly so, by the outgoing administration headed by Mr. Bush & Mr. Cheney.

Essentially they want to remove the teeth from the office of the President and they want to be consulted on any and all decisions and then determine what will be approved, by them of course. They want to create a politically correct environment where everyone makes nice, as they interpret nice, which means government control or some hybrid form of Socialism for starters. I'm quite sure, that under this proposed political utopia that there will be a spate (Spate as defined by our little friends at Merriam Webster Online as; a large number or amount), of new laws that overlap almost identical laws already on the books, many for years and years, how about just enforcing the existing laws and save the taxpayers some time and money for a change.

Among the list of requests are several I really found to be interesting, kind of like a college freshman 'what do you want to be when you grow up session' moderated by an overly liberal, over sexed tenured professor hoping to impress the girl with the big tits and the short skirt in the front row. Some are givens' like, close Guantanamo, ban torture, set new standards for humane treatment of detainees (be nice to them and maybe they will like us), make significant changes to the Patriot Act, revise the freedom of information act (is that like we shouldn't have any more secrets or worse yet we will be lied to about everything) and release any and all information pertaining to UFOs collected during the last sixty years under The Freedom of Information Act (Mr. Podesta has been working on this one).

My favorites though, are the requests that the intelligence committees be treated as partners rather than a nuisance, which they are. And that they, the Senate and Congress want the office of the President to cooperate with the oversight functions of the Senate and Congress with areas like interrogation policy and surveillance. These requests are all well and good if this means that there won't be any more leaks to the press and our sworn and un-sworn enemies. I don't think so though, the members of the Senate and Congress haven't been able to keep secrets in the recent past and doubtfully won't in the future since they are for the most part nothing more than self serving fools. Nice try Senator Feingold, but this is one even the video game generation can figure out.
