Just wondering

Now that the House has approved a bill that gives George W. Bush the right to decide who qualifies as a terrorist, and allows him to imprison and torture such people for the rest of their lives, without charges and without trial, does that mean that House Republicans are willing to give a Democratic president the same power? Or does it mean that they already know that either a) George W. Bush has no intention of leaving office -- ever; or b) the fix is in on all elections in perpetutity?
