Actually, it was the Republican controlled House and the Democrat controlled Senate that gave us the USAPATRIOT Act. Presidents do not enact laws, Congress does.

I do not recall hearing Pelosi ever say something was "Nazi", save for in the case of those protesters who were actually carrying swastikas, (see my clarification in post 159) and I do not know which protesters you are referring to, but I stand by my statement in all cases.

Try that with YOUR dining room table sometime. Let us know how it goes. There is no point wasting the time or insulting the intelligence of other people in the room by indulging or even tolerating the programmed static of a potted plant.

Can you say "Adolf Eichmann?" I knew you could.
Got anything more recent than a 32 year old academic text on hypotheses related to eco-catastrophes from overpopulation? Like, I don't know, maybe something have to do with the current health care debate?

I know you like your paranoia but come on.

Go read the old thread instead of trying to hijack this one. After that, go spend some time upgrading your comprehension of tax policy...

Presidents must sign bills into law. Therefore, presidents do indeed enact laws. The only time a president doesn't enact law is when Congress overrides a veto.
