Lieberman up to no good vis a vis those torture photos.

[Skidmore]

On MSNBC now saying that he and Graham are going to add an amendment tomorrow to make it illegal to release those photos. I really loathe this cretin.

He is trying to cover for his neocon buddies.

2. I doubt that type of law could really stay as written. It may not be constitutional.

[dflprincess]

4. But we need a court that will say it's unconstitutional

until that happens any law Congress passes stands.

[Jennicut]

7. True. Well, I will do my part to get rid of Loserman in 2010 here in Connecticut.

Maybe Scalia will have a health problem...kidneys will fail or something like that.

12. A court could grant an injunction so that this can't be enforced until it is ruled on

And such a law would be unconstitutional. The President has the power to classify and de-classify information. It is derived from his power as commander-in-chief.

3. If so that will give Obama the

cover he wants

[KansDem]

5. Man! There must be some really vile photos there!

For them to write legislation to make it illegal to release them? There must be real hell to pay if they do!!!

6. It's All About "Smiting the Philistines" to Lieberman

9. He's supporting Obama and a large number of DUers - so what's the problem? n/t

[MiniMe]

10. The problem is...

That most people, and Obama, are saying "at this time". That leaves it open to releasing them in the future. Lieberman wants to make it illegal to ever release the photos.

11. Those are weasel words. If today's excuse is that it will endanger the

troops - when exactly will our troops be out of harm's way?

13. Well let's see he probably has every senate repuke with him plus about 20 or so Democrats.

Yep, it's gonna pass.
