Supreme Court agrees Bush Administration is Nuts

Congress passed a law stating that legal non-citizen residents could be deported for violent crimes. The Bush administration stretched this to include drunk driving. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, said, essentially, "Are you nuts?"

Seriously, what they essentially said was that even if there is a problem, the government does not have the right to stretch the law beyond the intent of Congress to address it.

Quote:

``Drunk driving is a nationwide problem, as evidenced by the efforts of legislatures to prohibit such conduct and impose appropriate remedies,'' Rehnquist wrote. ``But this fact does not warrant our shoehorning it into statutory sections where it does not fit.''

So now all Bush has to do is replace 9 justices to complete his agenda.

Hmmmm... the subject is replete with possibilities, however - especially when you take into account the fact that our fearful leader himself has a DUI on his record. Texas always did have pretensions to being an independent nation and was, at one point, a republic. Why not encourage Texas to seccede from the union and then deport Junior as an alien who has attempted "an act of violence"? :D
