Congressman Conyers -- Just read this paragraph of his ...

[understandinglife]

I also read a good post at mydd on Bush's signing statement on the Defense bill. In particular, he appeared to thumb his nose at Congress on torture, essentially saying the Executive reserves whatever power he or she deems necessary unto itself. This is the same animus that led to the warrantless wiretapping scandal, the Iraq debacle, and many, many civil liberties abuses since Sept. 11. I intend to do everything within my power to provide some sort of check and balance to these outrageous usurpations of authority that threaten our very constitutional structure. Really amazing stuff.

It's going to be interesting to see what kind of a pretzel the Thuggery will form, trying to survive this. I don't think they can do it.

11. The only congressman with a

spine. I wish he would throw his hat in the ring for 08. One man in washington that is in touch with the people. He is the only one that gives me any hope.:applause:

14. He gives me the same hope as Bill Clinton in '92

12. Are Conyers' days numbered?

Will some ridiculous/planted scandal blow up in his face?
Will he die in a small plane crash, like Wellstone?

but he can't do it alone!
