Because showing this to any Conservative by itself will just get one laugh at.

Sorry but I like to have my shit straight before I present my case.

Do a search for ""We received a detailed classified notification from the Secretary of Defense that satisfies the many substantive certification requirements" under News and you will find it many places.

Cable news viewership has been tanking for a while. I don't think this fustercluck helped it much. I know Faux likes to crow that they "lead" there, but they're declining, too. Technically, I'm supposed to be in their demographic, but .

give Pelosi and Reed another chance to turn the ship of state around in 2014. We can win the majority. It's in my dreams of what will be, not can be. I'm not moving to 2016 until 2014 is won.

He knows that if he would have notified congress on the prisoner exchange, repugs would have said no, just as they say no to Obama one hundred percent of the time.

So fuck it, just do whatever you want to do without congress if you can Obama, because it's certain that if you ask for permission, repugs will always say no to whatever request.

Why does it take so long for the media to report this? Are you citing a Levin press release?

Oh never mind. Look who are we talking about here -- they have the morals and mental stability of outhouse rats.

Looks like some of that Three Dimensional Chess to me.

Or a "Fuck you, take it to the Supreme Court and see what you get," to me.

Heh, heh.
