So... which military force begins operation - when the Executive branch stops receiving lawful orders?

Perhaps the *Justice Dept. can borrow some Israeli special forces, and obtain access to our 'White House'. Gawd it's worse than SNL - makes their juvenile plots seem almost West Wing by comparison with actual newsfotainment!

* but wait.. Ashcroft is AG, so -

I must be dreaming this - one of those waking-dream scenarios; it only *seems* as if it has been going on for months.. surely the body will get hungry soon and wake Me up.

C'mon.

Long time

Presidents have been usurping authority for a long time. Did Kennedy have authority to send "advisors" to Vietname? If he did, Johnson almost certainly didn't have authority to begin *his* military buildup without a heckuvalot more Congressional approval. And we know Nixon did quite a bit of trampling himself. Bush, and by association Reagan (although there's no hard proof) is thought to have been involved in the Iran-Contra deals. And on and on.

Maybe Ford and Carter were the last two non-power grabbers? Ford, because he didn't last that long in office, Carter maybe?

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
