Testimony of Marjorie Cohn to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil R
2008-05-10 00:47:00 by Marjorie Cohn "From the Department of Justice to Guantánamo Bay: Administration Lawyers and Administration Interrogation Rules" Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties House Judiciary Committee What does torture have in common with genocide, slavery, and wars of aggression? They are all jus cogens. That’s Latin for "higher law" or "compelling law." This means that no country can ever pass a law that allows torture. There can be no immunity from criminal liability for violation of a jus cogens prohibition. The United States has always prohibited torture in our Constitution, laws, executive statements, judicial decisions, and treaties. When the U.S. ratifies a treaty, it becomes part of American law under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. The Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, says, "No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, ...

Obama Believes The Constitution Protects Gun Owners Rights

Photo: AP Obama board funded gun control efforts By KENNETH P. VOGEL | 4/19/08 4:57 PM EST Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has worked to assure uneasy gun owners that he believes the Constitution protects their rights and that he doesn’t want to take away their guns. But before he became a national political figure, he sat on the board of a Chicago-based foundation that doled out at least nine grants totaling nearly $2.7 million to groups that advocated the opposite positions. The foundation funded legal scholarship advancing the theory that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun owners’ rights, as well as two groups that advocated handgun bans. And it paid to support a book called “Every Handgun Is Aimed at You: The Case for Banning Handguns.” Obama’s eight years on the boar...

Will the Constitution Be Altered to Eliminate Key Liberties?
2008-04-14 16:41:00 AlterNet Though little discussed on the campaign trail, a crucial issue to be decided in November is whether the United States will return to its traditions as a constitutional Republic respecting "unalienable" human rights or whether it will finish a transformation into a frightened nation governed by an all-powerful President who can do whatever he wants during the open-ended "war on terror." That reality was underscored on April 1 with the release of a five-year-old legal opinion from former Justice Department official John Yoo asserting that President George W. Bush possessed nearly unlimited authority as Commander in Chief, including the power to have military interrogators abuse terror suspects. While most news coverage of Yoo's March 14, 2003, memo has focused on the legal gymnastics justifying harsh treatment of detainees -- including possible use of mind-altering drugs -- the centerpiece of Yoo's argument is that at a time of war the President's powers are essentially...

Say what? A new business model for news should begin with ? profit?
2008-04-09 17:20:00 It’s the new conventional wisdom: The news biz is dying. Declining circulation. Abandonment by advertisers. Falling revenues. Cuts in staffing to reduce costs. The news biz needs a new business model, the critical harpies proclaim. But what should a new business model for an industry whose principal product is journalism look like? It would have to recognize several new ? and old ? realities. ? Any new business model must generate profit. There’s no way around this. Journalism is best sustained within a for-profit frame. A company that engages in newspaper journalism as a product is not supported by government (unlike public television) nor should it be. The same holds for commercial broadcast journalism as well. To provide news, the company must make a profit to attract investors and secure the resources to collect, report and transmit that news. A non-profit model cannot immediately match the breadth and depth of news reporting that a healthy democracy of more than 300...

Whom will next president appoint? To what? Why?
2008-03-29 17:46:00 I still do not know whom I will vote for as president. That’s because what I wish to know, candidates will not tell me ? whom they’ll appoint to office. It is through appointments to judgeships, cabinet posts and other executive branch positions that presidents implement their policies and impress their will upon government and therefore the governed. Alan Pergament of The Buffalo News, in his review of PBS’ “Bush’s War,” said it well: At a time in which America is preparing to elect a new president to deal with Bush?s war, it reminded me of something I learned from my college courses in political science: It doesn?t so much matter who becomes president as it matters whom he or she chooses to put in his or her Cabinet. [emphasis added] Sage advice, but Mr. Pergament didn’t take the notion far enough. The U.S. Constitution, Article II, section 2, clause 2, says: The president shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Sena...
Geography, Constitution could be problematic for candidates
2008-03-27 17:02:00 SOMEBODY PLEASE GET THESE GUYS A MAP The hectic two-week filing period for candidates seeking their party’s nomination in this year’s election is almost at a close. With less than four days to file official paperwork and pay a fee as a contender in the June 10 primary elections, rumors are still abound about who will and who won’t be running for a legislative seat. But for some of those candidates face a possible defeat not at the hands of their primary opponent, but rather by the State Constitution. Jeffrey Sewell at SC Hotline noted Wednesday that Article III, Section 7 of the South Carolina Constitution requires, “A candidate for the Senate or House of Representatives must be a legal resident of the district in which he is a candidate at the time he files for the office.” And for at least four potential legislative contenders, this could be a problem. Outgoing president and CEO of the state Chamber of Commerce Hunter Howard announced that he would ...

CIA’s Dirty Little War Against The Constitution
2008-03-18 08:21:00 CIA spokesman George Little continually insists the agency has operated its terrorist detention and interrogation program in accordance with US law. After being held for nearly three years in secret CIA prisons or “black sites,” a Yemeni prisoner, Khalid Al-Maqtani, was finally released without any charges being brought before a judicial tribunal. Al-Maqtania told Amnesty Internatonal he spent 28 months in isolation without anyone telling him the nature of his alleged crimes. He was arrested in Iraq on suspicion of being a foreign insurgent, transferred to Abu Ghraib prison where he was beatedn, deprived of sleep, suspended upside down in painful positions, intimidated by dogs and induced hypothermia. After nine days of interrogation in Abu Ghraib, he was flown to Afghanistan where he again was tortured and kept in isolation. According to Amnesty International, the CIA turned him over to Yemen authorities in 2006 and he was not released until May, 2007. In July, 2007, ...
Democrats to Raise Taxes By the Billions
2008-03-15 15:16:00 When the Democrats took over Congress in 2006, I saw this coming. I remember going to work the next day and having a couple guys laughing at me because I was a Republican and they were Democrats. I said, “You watch. Your taxes are gonna go through the roof.” “Well, what do you mean?” they asked. “You just watch.” I love being right, but in this particular instance, I really wish I were dead wrong: The Senate rejected calls from both parties’ presidential candidates to take an election-year break from pork-barrel spending as a Democratic-run Congress passed budget plans that would torpedo hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts won by President Bush. They had a chance to stop all earmarks, and not even the Republicans voted for it. Fiscal conservatism, my great Aunt Petunia: The practice of inserting “earmarked” spending into legislation is seen by lawmakers in both parties a birthright power of the purse awarded to Con...

Living by the Sword, by US Rep. Ron Paul
2008-03-13 06:00:00 It has been said that ?he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.? And in the case of Eliot Spitzer this couldn?t be more true. In his case it?s the political sword, as his enemies rejoice in his downfall. Most people, it seems, believe he got exactly what he deserved. The illegal tools of the state brought Spitzer down, but think of all the harm done by Spitzer in using the same tools against so many other innocent people. He practiced what could be termed ?economic McCarthyism,? using illegitimate government power to build his political career on the ruined lives of others. read more

2008-03-06 01:34:00 Well, well, well. Look at the snarling beast that’s threatening to rear its head this summer in Denver: Not to mention that there’s going to be a significant Iraq veteran contingent at the convention, ready to rock ‘n’ roll. We’ve already had planning meetings about it — we’re going about it the same way that we would plan any decent military operation. Put it this way: if [Clinton] goes for the gold in Denver, she’ll have to claim the medal somewhere other than the Pepsi Center. … I can’t emphasize enough how potentially scary things could get — we’ve got folks working on the inside of the convention, and it’s all done on a cell basis, so that folks only know what they need to know. I’m trying to keep everyone calm, as I just mentioned, but it’s getting harder and harder to do so. The mood’s getting ugly, and if we go to Denver without a nominee, the pressure’s going to be intense ...
The Reyes Doctrine: speak loudly and cower like a whipped cur
2008-03-03 19:22:00 On February 14 Silvestre Reyes, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, crawled up in Dubya’s grille and dropped some righteous nard-stomping pro-democracy rhetoric on his punk ass. We were as happy as we were stunned to see a Democratic leader swinging an actual set of cojones in the face of Mr. President’s fragrantly anti-liberty pro-corporate full-monty assault on our freedoms. Talk, as they say, is cheap. House leaders spent the week floating their specific proposals for how they intend to comply in full, and yesterday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes went on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, refused to criticize the President or the Senate FISA bill, and repeatedly and meekly expressed his willingness “this week” to give what he called full “blanket immunity” to telecoms (C&L has the video of Reyes’ astoundingly weak and incoherent answers in response to Blitzer’s Bush-mimicking questions)....

Jakarta attacks Burma?s draft constitution
2008-02-22 04:10:00 Indonesia became the first big developing country on Thursday to criticise Burma?s draft constitution, which entrenches military rule by banning leading opposition activists from politics, including Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel prize-winning democracy advocate.Hassan Wirajuda, Indonesia?s foreign minister, said the constitution should be revised before being put to a national referendum in May, to ensure that the interests of opposition and minority groups were protected.His comments were made days after Burma?s military rulers publicly clarified that Ms Suu Kyi, now a widow, would be prohibited from contesting Burma?s planned 2010 elections because she had married a foreigner.?We hope that in the period between now and May, a process of consultation will take in input from these groups so that the draft constitution which will be voted on will be comprehensive, meaning that it will accommodate their interests,?

?We will not fear George W. Bush?
2008-02-15 15:20:00 President Bush yesterday took as harsh a one-two beatdown as he has endured in the entire seven cynical, corrupt years of his doomed presidency. First Silvestre Reyes, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, sent him a damning letter on his stubborn and hypocritical position on FISA. The letter not only outlines the facts of the law and the circumstances surrounding it for those who might only be familiar with the overt lie that Bush has been pandering to the American public, it concludes with a statement of intent that every single Member of Congress would do well to adopt: I, for one, do not intend to back down ? not to the terrorists and not to anyone, including a President, who wants Americans to cower in fear. We are a strong nation. We cannot allow ourselves to be scared into suspending the Constitution. If we do that, we might as well call the terrorists and tell them that they have won. Hear, hear.
