if rangel said that the draft is out of his jurisdiction then why does he want a hearing?

He's making waves by insinuating that there's more middle-class than upper in the military b/c of recruiting locations. What he doesn't realize, considering the ratio of mid, upper-class, & immigrants, he may be wind up sending even more of those he's defending because of their quantity.

There should defintely be hearings about his complicity in the matter.  Also, I agree with the other person regarding obvious, and blatant violations of the 4th Amendment by his administration.

Ain't gonna happen, and with good reason.  Soldiers these days are not cannon fodder --- they are highly trained specialists in the use of advanced weapons.  And you cannot recruit, let alone retain, people qualified to do this with a draft.

The law has yet to be enacted which would contain answers to all of your questions such as fines and consequences if one refused to register or answer the call. Let's hope the call for a draft gets defeated soundly!!\n\nChow!!

No, the military is by choice right now.  Now, if the draft comes around, (pray it doesn't) if they have anything to do with their kids not going, throw them out of office right then.

Because imposing a draft on the citizens of the US would be political suicide for any politician who supported it. Heck, the barest mention that some obscure Pentagon report mentioned it sent thousands of people into a tizzy. Actually trying to enfore such a move would be difficult at best.

Are they already in charge?  It certainly seems so with the news.  \n\nI haven't noticed much of a change, other than Rangel freaking out the youth with his draft talk, used to undermine support for the war.\n\nIs this the politicking we can expect for 2 years?  Yes.

Why would you want that?\n\nBecause he is trying to do everything possible to protect ungreatful, whining liberals and all Americans alike from future terrorist attacks?\n\nHave we had a single attack on American soil since we went into Afganistan or Iraq?  NO!!!  So it is obviously working.  Where is the crime?\n\nMaybe you should clarify your reasons, then perhaps a debate could be established.  \n\nTo answer you question directly, you cannot "sign-up" to impeach a president.  \n\nThe burning question in my mind is this:  If you KNOW he should be impeached, then you SHOULD have some familiarity with the laws and procedeures for this to take place.  By answering this question for you, it is obvious that you do not have much understanding of the impeachment process; therfore, how could you convince anyone that he should be impeached and how would you know?\n\nThink about it carefully...............\n\nTake care and good luck

If you fail to appear on a subpoena a judge may issue a warrant, however it would only be issued within jurisdictional limits usually the county where the hearing is being held. If you never return to the state of Florida you should have nothing to worry about. I would suggest that you fax a signed wavier to the Judge in the county where the hearing is being held and a cover letter explaining your situation.

This must be new, haven't heard of this yet.  1st amendment is the reason why.  Shoot, Mr Cheney told a senator to go f*&^ himself in the senate house, balls being met with balls is OK in my book.  I admit it, I like Cheney, alot more politicians should be told to go f#%$# themselves.

Only if thats what he wants. I think he has retired from public office. The Iraq speech  was bad for him. He was too use to taking orders.

there is no draft. maybe he just moved away and told you that he got drafted and you believed him because you are gullable.

Only if it becomes necessary.  If a ground invasion of Iran or N. Korea became imminent, you can bet that the draft would be re-activated before the fact, not after the fact.

Nope. He needs to go somewhere else and play his war games.

No.  But given the fact the the Federal Government is his employer, they probably will grant a continuance.  \n\nIf he needs representation at a hearing (to present evidence of some sort) you'll need to hire a lawyer or get a lawyer to do some pro-bono work.  You might be able to get some assistance through a "Father's Rights" group.  I also think the military might have a program to offer some sort of legal assistance --especially during wartimes.

I think Charles Rangel is just trying to initiate a debate in his own inimitable way.  It will never pass, but it will make people stop and think about who is paying for this war with their blood and who is benefitting.\n\nI usually disagree with Rep. Rangel but I take my hat off to him on this one.

I don't know and for one I am really disappointed and angry that he is not pushing harder to secure our borders. I do understand though that he cannot just unilaterally make a decision without the support of congress and the house but really what is wrong with all of them? Why don't they all seek to protect only those that can vote for them?
