Some Democrats worry Kerry is falling into a trap of making the 2004 election all about national security -- past, present and future. Kerry is off message all right....if he EVER had a message in the first place. He has said nothing about what we should do about National Defense! He still is referring to whatever he did, and didn't do, over 40 years ago. What constructive thing has he done to help in the War on Terror? If he hasn't figured it out yet, we either rid the world (as much as possible) of the terrorists, or NOTHING else matters. We're still recovering from the 9-11 events. What would another event, or bigger, do to our economy?

I thought Cheney would win this one at the Supremes. Clips from the Washington Post article. ........members of the Supreme Court repeatedly implied that they see some merit in the Bush administration's argument that it would violate the separation of powers to require disclosure of conversations among the president's advisers based on the Sierra Club's and Judicial Watch's accusation that energy lobbyists were "de facto" members of the task force. ......."They talked to a lot of people, got a lot of advice," Justice John Paul Stevens told Paul Orfanedes, a lawyer for Judicial Watch. "Does that make them de facto members of the committee?" When Orfanedes responded that "these are not mere unsupported allegations," Stevens replied: "Well, I'm not sure that's right." .......Scalia was in court yesterday, and implied that he, too, thinks that the Sierra Club-Judicial Watch lawsuits are misconceived. "Involvement of private individuals in the task force does not equate with membership of private individuals in the task force," he noted.
