(62,325 posts)are the President's. I believe now that they are the US Government's policies and that no president would survive if he tried to change them, certainly he would not be reelected.
So that raises the question, how if they are wrong, and I believe they are, can this country restore the rule of law, re Habeas Corpus eg when the policies are so entrenched that I have come to believe that even Dennis Kucinich could not change them alone?
It seems to me that the only hope is for the people to keep bringing these issues to the courts as Congress has demonstrated they will not do what is necessary. But there has been more success when they are tested in court.
The other hope is in the people themselves, making their disapproval known so that on the chance that the President would like to change them, he would have the backing of the majority of the people. Otherwise I think things will get even worse, if, eg, a Republican were to get to the WH.
