Could you cite the definitions of "Illegal" and "Unlawful"?
Do you know what the meaning if "IS", is? :lol:
It's no small wonder that your constituents changed their tune after one term. :roll:
But he did not use unlawful-- purposely did not use the old term- and wrote a new definition for the "
illegal combatant term"- rather than following the accepted "unlawful combatant term" (which has precedent set under US law and is accepted under International Law)---- which under the law changes the whole thing- and opens up a whole new can of worms for oversight and challenges.....
But this is not unusual for GW- as he searches til he finds an attorney that will give him an opinion he likes and then goes with that- no matter if everyone else says it is wrong....He did the same with proceeding to open up the Mexican truckers into the US- even after Congress passed a law forbidding him to do it or use any US funding to operate/continue the program- with his attorneys citing one word that they believe allows him to it-- even tho it goes completely against the intent of Congress which was apparent to all......
