Do you have a problem with that Ty?
I invite you to review the portion of my post that referred to "a maximum security prison in Colorado" and "the rest of their natural lives."

They're committing a crime, so prosecute them. If the evidence is clear -- and the hypo is that it is -- then they'll go away.

What kills me is that it's the conservatives who are talking the most about how important it is to bring democracy to Iraq who seem to lack faith in our institutions and rule of law here.

Suppose Hillary Clinton wins in '08. Would you feel comfortable living in a country where she asserts the unfettered power to conduct warrantless searches of U.S. citizens' communications, in the name of terrorism?

If conservatives don't step up to Bush now, he's not backing down. And if he pulls this shit for three years, y'all are going to have a hard time reining the executive branch in when it's run by someone you don't like.
