Bush Seeks to Hasten Abortion Litigation

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uslatest/story/0,1282,-3381540,00.html



SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Bush administration is
seeking to expedite legal proceedings before
three federal judges who last week blocked the
government from enforcing a new law banning
certain late-term abortions.

According to court papers, the government wants
to skip preliminary stages in each of the three
lawsuits and move directly to separate trials. In
doing so, the government said it would agree to
extend to 120 days the temporary restraining
orders that judges in Nebraska, New York and San
Francisco issued last week.

What's the pressing cause to expedite these cases? More importantly, does the Bush administration have the slightest understanding that an entirely different branch of government is responsible for issuing stays? In other words, the 3 judges in question could tell the Bush administration words that should sound familiar: who cares what you think?

we get a mis-administration w/ no deductive skills. There is no respect 4 the law & squatter w/ his worthless POS MBA (what sort of research or work is required 4 an MBA?)hasn't a clue. But they all claim 2 B students of history. And all of them, w/ the Xception of powell, were NOT educated in public schools!

Maybe someone dropped him on his head and he forgot how the separation of powers is suppose to work in the U.S.

they can win by losing, but they need the cases to be decided in the heat of the campaign --- feeding their base is a full-time job, and the feeding of the base has to be finessed - timing and subject matter are terribly important.

If they had actually wanted this law on the books, they would have made sure it passed constitutional muster, they didn't -- they wanted the theater of the debate, the theater of the bill signing, and the theater of the court battle.

With the modern GOP it is NEVER about policy, it is ALWAYS about politics.

typical gop scum tactics. if you can't change the rules, ignore them and dare anyone to try to stop you.

Our ADD pretzeldent cannot comphrehend this basic fact of life!
