The purpose of this board is speculation, debate, and discussion. And this is a hot topic for the day. So we should just not discuss it because, hey, the admin. has not yet sufficiently explained what it's doing. Fun!

I guess I am naive, but I would like to think that since this board is full of lawyers, that some actual thought would go into criticisms before they are leveled. In our current political climate, and this was true under Clinton and Bush, every time the administration says or does anything it is immediately criticized. Everything Clinton did was critisized by the Republicans right after he said or did it. Everything the Bush administration says or does the Democrats immediately critisizes it. There are political reasons for them to do it, but on this board I thought we are at least going to try and have a semi-intelligent discussion about these issues. If I wanted to read or hear knee jerk, unsubstantiated claims, I could just turn on C-Span or read the DNC or RNC press releases. Before you attack a position or policy, shouldn't we at least try and pretend that we know something about that position or policy.
