A statist is a statist, regardless of Red/Blue/Elephant/Donkey.

You mix red and blue together, you get purple.  Traditional color of royalty.  Look at all the incumbent protectionism going on in DC, along with the constant desire to increase State power.

They are our Betters, and they intend to make certain we not forget that.

You do not question the master.

That "of, by and for" thing is long gone.

Obama to Appeal Detainee Ruling

By THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: April 10, 2009

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Friday that it would appeal a district court ruling that granted some military prisoners in Afghanistan the right to file lawsuits seeking their release. The decision signaled that the administration was not backing down in its effort to maintain the power to imprison terrorism suspects for extended periods without judicial oversight.

In a court filing, the Justice Department also asked District Judge John D. Bates not to proceed with the habeas-corpus cases of three detainees at Bagram Air Base outside Kabul, Afghanistan. Judge Bates ruled last week that the three — each of whom says he was seized outside of Afghanistan — could challenge their detention in court.

Tina Foster, the executive director of the International Justice Network, which is representing the detainees, condemned the decision in a statement.

“Though he has made many promises regarding the need for our country to rejoin the world community of nations, by filing this appeal, President Obama has taken on the defense of one of the Bush administration’s unlawful policies founded on nothing more than the idea that might makes right,” she said.

People who are surprised at Obama's move are the same ones who are shocked the sun comes up in the east on a regular schedule.

I knew Obama would do something like this. I'm amazed the MSM would point it out.
