21. It is imperative that the rule of law

22. one more nomination to get on greatest. quick!

[mandyky]

23. Bush not only illegally wiretapped

but he sothingly lied about doing it, and when caught he beligerently said he wouldn't stop.

The president who breaks the law is a threat to our country, and system of government.

[mandyky]

24. too reminiscent of the king from

which they'd broken free

[mandyky]

25. the threat from terrism is all to real,

but we don't break the law to protect ourselves or we become weaker.

[mopaul]

26. ------------

[Just Me]

29. pResident claims he can imprison whomever he pleases.

x(

[Just Me]

27. Congress REFUSED to give pResident war power within the US.

But, he assumed those powers, anyway. :grr:

[mandyky]

28. seize and imprison American citizens

with NO recourse

[Just Me]

30. There's evidence that 90% of the tortured were completely innocent.

:cry:

[Hissyspit]

31. I missed the first 20 minutes. Are they going to show it again later? n/t

[mandyky]

32. If he president has the power to torture

he has the power of summary execution, slavery, genocide, etc.

[AbbyR]

33. I flew home to watch it...

I got in late, but really hope they rerun it so I can tape it. He's wonderful - saying everything we've been saying here for months. Yea, AL!!!

[mandyky]

34. let us retrace our steps

to the path of peace...

[mandyky]

35. persist in near perpetuity

that is scarey

[mandyky]

36. conflating his role as Commander in Chief

and preying on fear

[Just Me]

37. "unitary executive power" really means "unilateral" presidency,...

,...where the president's decisions are not reviewable by either the legislative or judicial branches.

:scared:

[mandyky]

38. reworking our foreign policy

on an instinct to dominate and control rather than provide a moral example

[mandyky]

39. in the words of George Orwell

we are all capable of believing things that aren't true...

sooner or later facts bump up, usually on a battlefield with solid reality...

now 2000 soldiers are dead...

[mandyky]

40. 2 hijackers were known

but due to incompetence...

[mandyky]

41. a future leader may expand power

in ways we can't imagine

[mandyky]

42. Roberts and Alito have given

deference to executive powers

[mandyky]

43. addressing congressional fundraising

instead of oversight

[mandyky]

44. Congress

stop going along to get along

[mandyky]

45. we the people are the key

examine our own role as citizens.. time to stand up!

[mandyky]

46. language and politics of fear

to short circuit the deabte
fear drives
oout reason

[mandyky]

47. Endorses Patrick Fitzgerald as excellent example

of Special Prosecutor

[Nutmegger]

48. I just seen it - I'm completely wowed

What an inspiring speech by our President. I can feel the optimism and hope and will be damned if I'm not going to stand up to the Rethugs and fight.

President Gore, you have always rocked.

[confuddled]

49. An a-mazing State of the Union Address!!

Thank you for posting this,mandyky. Reading a transcript could never have captured the spirit of that speech. He conveyed the the state of this nation beautifully. And he even speaks English! What a breath of fresh air. I feel like I just woke up from a long, horrible nightmare. Thank you Mr.Vice President.

[mandyky]

51. He covered a lot of material

It flowed nicely and was said to be pretty much off the cuff. Senor shrub can't even read a damned speech! LOL The contrast is monumental.
