    Good. I want to know why PATRICK FITZGERALD was in the 3rd ranked group of attorneys, rated as *mediocre* for goodness sake. I hope someone gets to ask that.

    I wasn't defending anybody, just professing how tired I am of the waste of politics.

    lol. (Saw the other thread) He wouldn't be either - I listened to a whole hour about him on npr once when I was putting together furniture. He sleeps at his office and keeps shirts there. I got the impression he's a total workaholic. Which is good if he's working for the good guys.

    I hope some of this gets on cspan. I like watching a good shakeup in progress.

    Only if we let it. So what if we don't find out any thing new. The bigger picture is accountability. Congress is the only branch of government that the Executive Branch is accountable to. Yes, the Executive Branch has alot of headway in wartime, however, the matter of the U.S. Attorney issue is not a wartime issue. The issue not about the fired U.S. Attorneys, Bush and Cheney don't give a damn about that issue. The real fight is the removal of the only road block to absolute Executive Branch power, Congress and the preservation of the "check and balance" system under our Constitution. You have only a small taste of what the Executive Branch can do without oversight, without checks and balance, without accountability.

    Bush DID NOT APPOINT these Senators and Representatives. You "elected" the people in the House and Senate. They are on equal footing. They are banking on our continued liberal/conservative bullshit to make this a non-issue, and we will because we have all reached the point that 2008 can't get here fast enough. The result of our indifference will be a one branch government with no checks and balances.

    Just keep in mind that appointees and aids to the President and Vice-president are not privileged over Congress. They are nothing more than a "privileged family friend or pocketbook" hired as a federal employee, under a special pay scale and hiring procedures to a "public service" job. They carry no executive privilege from which Congress is excluded. Karl and Gonazles are appointed government workers. Just like the President could replace the appointed official who heads the Department of Energy at any time so goes Gonazles. Aids and appointees hold disposal politically obtained positions so how privilege are they compared to your rights.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    You know, I think I may have finally come around to the right's position on this one. Asking someone about something that's not illegal, getting them to lie about it under oath, and then nailling them on it......

    ... is fun. Really fun. I can't wait to see more of this.

    Might have been eight years coming, but let this be a lesson to the Republicans. Never try to out-lawyer the Lawyer Party.

    This is a gigantic waste of time and money but I think every damn Republican should shut the fuck up because I'm sure most where in full support of the Clinton investigation.

    Help me understaind.. We are not calling for some great investigation - merely asking that the parties speak under oath and with transcripts.. Not really too much to ask - and not expensive at all. In fact - far cheaper than the presidents option that instead congress should spend its time reading thousands of already doctored e-mails.

    duh... what a travesty to ask that people who speak to congress be held accountable for what they say.

    and it could be something. The die-hard Repugs will say it's nothing. And it might turn out for the Dems that it really is nothing.

    But if it's something, and Bush continues to argue against digging any further in this so-called "fishing expedition" over nothing, well....wouldn't that be something?

    But how can they guarantee that Rove would give honest testimony if he's not under oath? I just don't see the guy as incredibly honest. He could still lie under oath but I think it's less likely than if it's him, three of his lawyers and a bunch of Dem suits and lawyers all in a room.

    you should see the doc, based on the book of the same name, Bush's Brain...it's all about rove...according to it republicans complained to the head of the gop, george bush, sr, about rove and his dishonest tactics, saying they wanted him out b/c they didn't approve of it...bush, instead, gave him a job working for him!
