At Sturgis you said that if he was the Prez he would NOT have allowed congress go on vacation. In legal and constitutional detail explain how the Prez can TELL or MAKE the congress do anything?

If you believe that as Prez you McBush, have the power to hold congress hostage on the floor of the senate & house then do you believe in more executive power?

from here if the irony don’t get ya, then the paradox will

these guys got rid of Mr ‘We Can’t Have Acquittals!’ as this was their plan – no conviction on terra charge, time served, out in six period mr addington may indeed have had his plan, but these officers had theirs

The trial judge, Navy Capt. Keith J. Allred, consolidated the five guilty verdicts into a single count and instructed the jurors to determine a sentence accordingly. He also said he would credit Hamdan with at least five years’ time served toward any sentence.

ok, so it’s a spit-shined fig leaf
