she says 'no impeachment' - maybe the diebold machines will give her a little treat.
maybe it won't REALLY matter though...
one of the smaller bits of that HR 6166 legislation has a softer edge, not just the denial of rights to 'enemy combatants' (nice little trick here - even american citizens are denied the ability to prove they're citizens...), but maybe immunity from war crimes for the bush administration as well:

Cafferty: President Bush is trying to pardon himself. Here's the deal: Under the War Crimes Act, violations of the Geneva Conventions are felonies, in some cases punishable by death. When the Supreme Court ruled that the Geneva Convention applied to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees, President Bush and his boys were suddenly in big trouble. They've been working these prisoners over pretty good. In an effort to avoid possible prosecution they're trying to cram this bill through Congress before the end of the week before Congress adjourns. The reason there's such a rush to do this? If the Democrats get control of the House in November this kind of legislation probably wouldn't pass.
wonder if all this is why there's so many rumours of massive land purchases by george w. bush...

Bush Paraguay Land Grab Incites Unease
Asuncion, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) The land grab project of US President George W. Bush in Chaco, Paraguay, has generated considerable discomfort both politically and environmentally.
The news circulating the continent about plans to buy 98,840 acres of land in Chaco, Paraguay, near the Triple Frontier (Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay) is the talk of the town in these countries.
Although official sources have not confirmed the information that is already public, the land is reportedly located in Paso de Patria, near Bolivian gas reserves and the Guarani indigenous water region, within the Triple Border.
hmmm...
