GUEST,A BS: Domestic Spying in the U.S. (295* d) RE: BS: Domestic Spying in the U.S. 20 Dec 05


I have been sitting here thinking about the Costitution;

1. Have you ever given thought to the present Congress, BOTH sides of the aisle, coming up with a similar document. Heaven (or whatever) help us.

2. Bobert, the Constitution is not as definitive as you would like to believe. It is an outline and a dam'n fine one at that. Maybe the phrase "He (meaning the Prez) shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union, recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necssary and expedient.

Soooo, he did not consider some things necessary which is the Prez perogative. He do go to a select group 12 times about the subject so as to keep them apprised.

3. The Constitution also stipulates that the "the Congress shall assemble at least once in every year; and such meeting shall be on the first Monday of December". Later amended to the 3rd day of January. Wll, they are meeting at least that.

Show me where it says the Prez can't do what he did.
