The Administration's Ambition

Badger Blues enumerates the administration's goals in its latest attack on the Constitution:

• Create a new parallel court system accountable to no other branch of government.
• Give that court system, ostensibly created to fight terrorism, jurisdiction over crimes committed by people who are not “directly involved” in terrorism.
• Give the Secretary of Defense the authority to increase the court’s jurisdiction "at will".
• Deny the accused the ability to confront his accusers.
• Allow the use of hearsay in producing convictions.
• Allow the use of evidence acquired under torture.
• Deny the accused the right to a public trial.
• Deny the accused the right to a speedy trial.
• Deny the accused the right to his own defense counsel.
• Deny the accused the right to review the evidence against him.
• Deny the accused the right to be present at his own trial.
• Allow the accused to be executed by minority vote.

And just think, we get 2.5 more years of this fool.
