I know what you're thinking: you can't arrest the President of the United States!
Here's my idea. I want to set up a camp on Manitoulin Island (that's up there north of Tobermory, if you didn't know where it was) with a bunch of cages and holding cells and guard dogs. Then I'll get a couple of friends and go down to the White House and arrest George Bush and Tom Delay and John Ashcroft and Condoleeza Rice, and take them there and lock them all up.
If the Secret Service tries to stop us, we'll inform them that George Bush is a threat to peace and good order and commerce and must be locked up.
If they ask what proof we have, we'll tell them that we don't need any proof. Do they really expect us to wait around for Bush to commit a nefarious act before locking him up? Not in today's post-0303 world. I mean, March, 2003, the date of the invasion of Iraq.
If he wants to call his lawyer, we'll inform him that, sorry, he doesn't get access to a lawyer until we're good and ready to let him have access to a lawyer.
If he says, what about my rights, we'll laugh our heads off. Your what? Hoo haw! It's all right for those pansy liberals like Ted Kennedy and John McCain to talk about rights-- but we're in a war. This is a war on our nation and our values. It is a war on common sense and good taste and my personal happiness. If I sit around and wait for pansy legislatures to provide me with the correct legal frame-work and documentation in order to proceed with arresting the most dangerous man in world...
And after they admit that we are fully vetted legally, and we get them up to Manitoulin Island and into the compound.... we bring out the water-boarding equipment and cattle prods and electrodes.
Honestly-- I just want to hear what they have to say.
