"The House overwhelmingly passed the use-of-force resolution by a 420-1 margin. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) registered the lone dissenting vote, saying she believed it gave too much of Congress' power to the President, and because she was reluctant to approve force that could worsen the situation."
"The Senate approved the measure by a 98-0 margin earlier in the day."

"An estimated 30 to 50 suicide-killers are waiting inside America for their orders to strike.
This time, while aiming as before for the President, the White House and Capitol Hill, they will also go for a broad spectrum of what they consider strategic targets, such as airports, oil fields and oil installations, sensitive military and intelligence facilities, warships and carriers.
The last were indeed ordered out to sea shortly after the assaults on Tuesday." |

If we are to show that there's substance behind our symbols, we need to... be vigilant for the rules and laws that will surely come to try to limit our freedoms even more. We need to show that tyrants cannot and will not bring us to our knees." --Sunni Maravillosa |

A federal appeals court Friday vacated its June decision that said FBI sharpshooter Lon Horiuchi may be tried for manslaughter for fatally shooting Vicky Weaver during the Ruby Ridge standoff in August 1992.
In legal terms, the decision means there is now no precedent in the West on whether federal agents are immune from state prosecution for alleged wrongdoing committed under the color of authority. |
