Entry Title Date
Authorization For Use Of Military Force May 18, 2012
Louie Gohmert, R-TX
"Now, I have tremendous regard for President George W. Bush. He is a brilliant man, despite what some people think and jokes that were made at his expense. He’s a brilliant man, and one of the wittiest people that you can be around privately and just a real joy to be around, but he got some bad advice. He had people who were lawyers who told him, Hey, Mr. President, let’s just have the executive branch set up a military tribunal and let the military tribunal try terrorists, whether American citizens or whatever. Let’s set up tribunals here in the executive branch."
