Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, August 02, 2007

The Bush administration pushed back against congressional Democrats on two fronts yesterday, as the White House formally directed senior adviser Karl Rove not to cooperate with a Senate probe into the firing of U.S. attorneys and Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales declined to alter testimony that some senators have described as misleading.

Run them all out of town on a rail.

I'm sure Rove has much more important things to do than mess around with sime piss ant congress---like they had any power in the government.

Who are those bozos in Congress anyway. Why don't we just fire them all and elect a new dictator every four years---its worked well for the last six years, and the country seems well satisfied that we are killing enough innocent brown people to keep up with our quotas.

I have gotten to the conclusion that Democrats are scandal junkies. Every day there is a scandal headline, there are hearings, there are self-rightious speeches about the fate of Republic, political theater of all kind, and nothing ever comes of it.

Democrats know what they need to do, but they won't do it. Democrats know they need to quite pussyfooting around and impeach Bush and/or Cheney and/or Gnnzales. But rather than doing the hard work of defending the Constitution, Democrats are quite happy with scandalmonguering, day in and day out, drip, drip, drip, in hopes that this will hurt the Republican in 2008, never mind if their inaction hurts the country.

Quit screwing around Democrats, show some leadership, show some balls, Has the party of Harry Truman fallen so low? Can you imagine Truman having decided against the Nueclear Bomb and insted sent in troops to Japan? This is what Dems are doing now. Be bold god damn it! Just go for the Nuclear option. In the same way that Truman save many GI from dying in Japan, you need to save our country from the Bush regime, and you need to do it now.

IMPEACHMENT, THE NUCLEAR OPTION.

"It's important that they honor the pledges they made when they took control of the Congress, and that is they pledged a policy of transparent government and fiscal responsibility. Well, now is the time to show that they're serious. "

Guess who?

I can't believe that anyone gives this guy an ounce of cred.

What are you? Stupid?

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY is putting up a false front show again!!!!!!!

On this very blog we have the DEMOCRATIC PARTY hurrying to make it easier to wire tap.

Nothing but neo-doms trying to capture other stupid voters.

Rove won't comply..........the DEMOCRATIC PARTY is a joke. Clearly the DEMOCRATIC PARTY should not be running this country.

i am so suprised with roves action ---he won't hang himself before hostile senate --gee what a dumb guy
jasman

Well said moneywar, I totally agree.

"I have gotten to the conclusion that Democrats are scandal junkies. Every day there is a scandal headline, there are hearings, there are self-rightious speeches about the fate of Republic, political theater of all kind, and nothing ever comes of it."

If this is just an invented scandal, then comply with the subpoena and show them to be the petty asses that they are. Why fight them and do everything to can to hide information, when you could make them look bad by telling the truth?

Scandal sells.

Some of you guys need to learn how to count votes in the Congress.

When you figure out that the Dems don't control enough of them to do jack shit, let us know.


People like Leahy and Waxman are doing about all that they can do with limited votes, investigate and raise hell.

"It's important that they honor the pledges they made when they took control of the Congress, and that is they pledged a policy of transparent government and fiscal responsibility. Well, now is the time to show that they're serious. "

That means nothing to the Righties in here. Nothing. I do not understand why.

I think that if the Democrats ought to start making it clear that all REpublicans are on notice that when Rove ignores Congress he is ignoring the constituents of the Republicans as well as the Democrats. I think that most folks would not agree that the administration is immune to Congressional oversight and is an insult to the citizens of the US....apparently that is ok with the REpublicans.

So what happens next? Contempt charges? Arrest? I don't think anything happened to Miers.

"So what happens next? "

Well, respecting precedent, the first four felonies get commuted.

If this is just an invented scandal, then comply with the subpoena and show them to be the petty asses that they are.

Ignoring them is more effective at proving they are petty asses. Since the Dems hop from one manufactured scandal to another, they demonstrate that they are not serious about anything.

Just gnats. Annoying insects.

Plus, it is so funny watching you lefty loons get worked up about every manufactured scandal. Like the fools at a topless bar who actually believe the stripper is hot for them.

Keep coughing up the cash, losers, and your beloved Democrats will continue to tease you. But deep in your heart, you must know that when your money runs out, everyone goes home alone.

""Just gnats. Annoying insects.""

Yes, that is pretty much what Bush, Cheney, Rove and Miers are saying to the American voter who through representative democracy expect to oversee our Executive Branch. Me thinks they will remember in '08 that they are just "annoying insects" to REpublicans.

A do-nothing Republican-ruled Congress allowed Bush to do whatever he liked with ZERO oversight. Naturally the longer this went on the more arrogant, corrupt and unconstitutional Bush and Cheney became. There's six years of scandal to catch up on, that's why there's a new one every week.

I know it's a complete waste of time pointing this out to the Kool-Aid Krowd but I'm doing it anyway.

Fielding said he regretted that the Judiciary Committee had not availed itself of President Bush's offer to make officials available as long as they would not be under oath and no transcript would be made.

LOL

Isn't Fielding the same dude who argued that the Vice President wasn't a part of the executive branch?

""Plus, it is so funny watching you lefty loons get worked up about every manufactured scandal.""

ER...Vernon....you guys lost the right to say such things when you had the mock outrage at Clinton's blow job. Puhleeeeez.....you look like such a hypocrit when you pretend to be above "manufactured scandal." That was the "mother of all manufactured scandals."

Has anyone noticed how Vermin and others of his ilk are so disdainful of the Constitution and the protections, balances and oversights it provides?

The night before the government secured a guilty plea from the manufacturer of the addictive painkiller OxyContin, a senior Justice Department official called the U.S. attorney handling the case and, at the behest of an executive for the drugmaker, urged him to slow down, the prosecutor told the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday.

John L. Brownlee, the U.S. attorney in Roanoke, testified that he was at home the evening of Oct. 24 when he received the call on his cellphone from Michael J. Elston, then chief of staff to the deputy attorney general and one of the Justice aides involved in the removal of nine U.S. attorneys last year.

Brownlee settled the case anyway. Eight days later, his name appeared on a list compiled by Elston of prosecutors that officials had suggested be fired.

President Bush has said that "in a society that is a free society, there will be transparency." That means that in America, we have a government where the public gets to see as much information as possible about its government.

Is he nothing but a liar? Is that what you righties like about him? Is it?

"The democratic hopes we see growing in the Middle East are growing everywhere. In the words of the Burmese democracy advocate, Aung San Suu Kyi: "We do not accept the notion that democracy is a Western value. To the contrary; democracy simply means good government rooted in responsibility, transparency, and accountability."

Right Mr. President. The operative term being "GOOD GOVERNMENT" which yours clearly isn't.

you guys lost the right to say such things when you had the mock outrage at Clinton's blow job. Puhleeeeez.....you look like such a hypocrit when you pretend

'you guys'?????

Sorry, Danni, you are talking to the wrong guy. Clinton's blow jobs in the oval office only proved that Clinton is a disrespectful low-life. It saddened me. that's all.

And I agree with you. It was a huge, manufactured scandal: Clinton was maneuvered and played, for political gain by republicans.

No different than what the democrats are doing now. Groping around trying to find something that will stick on bush.

Briwo pretends to be dignified and righteous about the Constitution, but that's the true hypocricy. He knows this is just politics as usual. Everyone is angling for some edge for 2008.


Since 2008 is looking like a near landslide for Congressional Dems, they must be doing something right, eh?

"political theater"
"hallowed tradition of executive privlege"
"these are not the droids you're looking for"

I believe that it was Bush that called for transparency in our Government.

Aren't the Dems trying to do just that?

And now Bush and his moronic followers are condemning them for doing exactly what Bush called for. Transparency in our Government.

I do not understand the beef from the right in this country.

Are you for a transparent government are aren't you. One of these days you are going to have to make up your fucking minds.

Oh, that might be it right there. Minds. I guess that you do have to have one first. Prove it by answering the questions above.

""It saddened me. that's all.""

Oh yeah Vernon, I really believe that...not.
I'm sure you shed a tear for Monica and Bill.

""No different than what the democrats are doing now.""

What the Dems are doing is succeeding. Gonzalez looks like what he is, an incompetent political hack, Bush looks the same for keeping him. That is the intent of the Dems.

BTW, the Republicans in Congress are beginning to look like accomplices.

Since the Dems hop from one manufactured scandal to another

just like the Republicons jump from one manufactured terror threat level to the next. all at times they need to divert attention from some other important issue. So convenient to herd sheep.

If there is ANYTHING that falls under Executive Privilege, it ought to be who is sucking his dick.

Agreed?

If I felt for a second that the democrats actually gave a shit about this issue and not just embarassing the president, yeah, you'd be right.

embarassing the president(sic)

Why? Did he do something wrong? If he didn't, this would be a great time for Bush to embarrass the Dems by having them testify and discover no wrongdoing.

But he did, and this Ass Hole just admitted it.

"I want a transparent government. I will allow them to testify, but we can't tell the Amurican people what they say. Transparency dammit!!!!"

Funny how some people still fall for his BullShit.

Look, there's another fool right there......

Why? Did he do something wrong?

In regards to what drove this whole thing, firing attornies, no... he didn't do anything wrong.

But the Dems control the congress so they get to have their whitch hunts... why should the president help them out? All they're going to do is keep having these endless investigations trying to find something. Don't get all pissy just because the president doesn't want to play.

Rob,

How do you reconcile the "if you have nothing to hide just submit to questioning" attitude that you have when it comes to security, but when it involves securing the Constitution you defend the direct violation of subpoenas from Congress?

I just want some insight into how the right wing mind defends it's own hypocrisy.

But the Dems control the congress so they get to have their whitch hunts... why should the president help them out?

They are called subponeas. SUBPOENAS. Or do you beleive that the right is above answering a duly executed subpoena. See how that shit will fly in court.

You know Jimmy Rob is all for Wiretapping and eavesdropping without a Warrant. Pray Tell why is He so against Dubya's Administration Testifying?? Sure begs the question doesn't it.

Larry

I guess the bigger question that right has not answered is this.....


Why won't the administration answer and testify about this unless they have something to hide?


You righties have long said... "If you have nothing to hide" you should have no problem with cameras, wiretaps, etc. So by Bushy's actions the whitehouse is hiding something.

Larry,

It is the old "don't do as I do, do as I say" mentality of the right.

It is the mentality that laws are for suckers, rules are for poor people and they are above that on the right.

Its about motive... Wiretapping, eavesdropping, sneak & peak searches are about getting some really bad people before they're able to kill thousands of Americans again.

Demanding these people come before congress is about pleasing the posters over at DKos, and trying to get a leg up on the competition in 2008.

What about what is Legal and right instead of being a little scaredy cat.

How is it being a "scaredy cat" to want to know what terrorists are doing? Larry, some of us aren't so large that we are capable of leaving our houses and going to public places... I, as one of those people, would like our government to be able to stop the terrorists who do exist and do want to kill as many of us as they can.

No Rob, it is about a transparent government. What Bush pledges to have.

He says one thing, does another, and fools like you follow along like sheep. You are so attached at the hip to this failure of an administation that you can't back away this late in the game.

Don't

You

See?

All you can do now is nod in agreement with ANYTHING they do. That is the sad, sad truth.

Question for everyone:

Does anyone know how many times the Presidents over the past 50 years have invoked Executive Privilege?

All you can do now is nod in agreement with ANYTHING they do.

Odd... ask me about their Social Security ideas, their Immigration ideas, their policy towards Pakistan, their domestic policies like Capital Punishment, etc..

But you're right... i'm in 100% agreement with anything they do... jackass

Does anyone know how many times the Presidents over the past 50 years have invoked Executive Privilege?

LMAO... you don't expect that to matter to them do you? I'll be shocked if Clinton never used it... but it won't matter to them.

How is it being a "scaredy cat" to want to know what terrorists are doing?

Right! That is why we want them to testify in front of Congress as to what they know.

Oh, that isn't what you meant huh?

See Rob doesn't care about being fucked in the ass by White Men in ties. He is only petrified of dark skinned people who wear Pajamas.

Vern and Rob,

Don't you guys get it yet? Your precious Republican Party has dug itself deep into a hole because of their greed, stupidity, and arrogance. Now the Dems are going to hold them to it.

You see, the scandals are just going to keep coming. Because in order to affect change from this monstrously failed administration, they must gain power. And the only way to gain power is through the people. And the only way to do that is by showing the people what a dumb bunch of lying law-breaking scumbag idiots the Republicans actually are.

So keep whining fags. You can't stop it, but at least you'll provide us with something to laugh about.

Now the Dems are going to hold them to it.


BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH
AH!!!! Like ending Iraq right?

Here is what Rob and his righty friends were saying about Clinton's use at the time:

The President may find that the Independent Counsel's questions are personally embarrassing, or politically damaging. But in our system no one may use the power of high office to deny justice to another. If Mr. Clinton has used his office--and his aides--to obstruct justice, the Constitution will not protect him.

No one, no matter how powerful, has the privilege of hiding evidence of crime. The President's conversations, like anyone else's, are open to appropriate judicial examination. More importantly, presidential conversations are public business if they reveal a pattern of abuse of power. The public has a right to know if Bill Clinton has made Richard Nixon's mistake, confusing his personal interests with those of the office of President. As Mr. Nixon's fate shows, that confusion does no good for the man, or the office, or the country.


How's that shoe fitting today Asshole?

Clinton's use involved who was sucking his dick.

Clearly something Rob would be engrossed with for obvious reasons.

Here is what Rob and his righty friends were saying about Clinton's use at the time

Rob at the time was saying, "The GOP is being fucking stupid and overplaying their cards." Rob was right...

Oh, and in my world, when someone spends an inordinate amount of time calling someone else gay, its usually because they're hiding something about themselves.

Is president Bush the first President to not comply with subpoenas? Have members of previous administrations always obeyed them?

I don't know, you do the research.

So if other presidents violated warrants, that makes his actions okay?

So because Scooter lied to the FBI, that makes it okay?

Oh, I like this. Next time I want something I will just take it. If I am caught I will ask the cop if I am the first person to ever steal something, and that if I am not it must be okay according to Rob.

Instead of answering my question with a question, which you are good at, why not answer the f-ing question. So I will ask it again....

They are called subponeas. SUBPOENAS. Or do you beleive that the right is above answering a duly executed subpoena. See how that shit will fly in court.

Or how about, what is Bush hiding that he will not allow his stooges to testify? Of course he offered to have them "talk", but not under oath nor with a transcript, but not testify under oath which is clearly within the scope and authority of the Senate.

What is he hiding?

I'll be shocked if Clinton never used it... but it won't matter to them.

Well then tell us how many times Clinton used it?

I can tell you this, that the Clinton whitehouse was more transparent than the current administration.

You hit the nail right on the head.

I don't know if it was arrogance or stupidity that this failure of a President acted as if he would never have to answer to Congres.

I can see that the previous six years, the lapdog Congress just let him break laws and get away with it. But for Georgie to beleive that that failure of a Congress would remain in power forever is just plain stupid, or arrogant, or both. My bet is on both.

I don't know, you do the research.

I'm pretty sure we all know the answer is no, he is not the first president.

They are called subponeas. SUBPOENAS. Or do you beleive that the right is above answering a duly executed subpoena. See how that shit will fly in court.

If Bush is not the first president to act this way, then there is a power granted to the presidency that allows them to do so... sorta like Commuting a prison sentence... sure you guys don't like it, but the President has the power to do it.

Or sorta like firing attorneys... Presidents are allowed to do it.... just ask George W Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, Ronald Reagan, and so on and so forth.

Jimmy you're going to be really furious if Rove doesn't have to testify before the Senate aren't you? I can't wait till the Dems in Congress cave on this issue TOO. Oh that will be fun to see your reaction.

Like Clinton's case, it will end up in the courts. And like Clinton's case, the President will lose.

But it is a great display of delay. Bush will be long gone once the courts rule against him.

But that suits guys like Rob. That the President can dodge the law.

If Bush is not the first president to act this way, then there is a power granted to the presidency that allows them to do so...
Posted by Rob_The_A_Hole


I really don't think the President is allowed to make up whatever powers he wants.

sorta like Commuting a prison sentence...

No, that power is actually granted in the Constitution.

Rove Won't Comply with Senate Subpoena

And what makes the Democrats think they have the authority to force anyone in the Executive branch to answer questions about political appointees that serve at the pleasure of the president and can be fired for any reason or no reason?

I really don't think the President is allowed to make up whatever powers he wants.

As a wartime president, Bush has embraced the concept of the Unitary Executive, which traces it's roots back to the founding fathers. Almost every president since, has defined the executive branch to some extent by this construct:

"The unitary executive rests upon the "approach" of "departmentalism" or "coordinate construction":

This approach holds that all three branches of the federal government have the power and duty to interpret the Constitution and that the meaning of the Constitution is determined through the dynamic interaction of all three branches.

The importance of departmentalism to the unitary executive is it provides a constitutional underpinning for the president's interpretive power, which lies at the heart of the unitary executive. Departmentalism can be traced to "Federalist 49," in which Madison writes: "The several departments being perfectly co-ordinate by the terms of their common commission, none of them, it is evident, can pretend to an exclusive or superior right of settling the boundaries between their respective powers."...

It is important to understand departmentalism in order to understand the unitary executive. The unitary executive rests upon the independent power of the president to resist encroachments upon the prerogatives of his office and to control the executive branch. The three integral components of the unitary executive are "the president's power to remove subordinate policy-making officials at will, the president's power to direct the manner in which subordinate officials' exercise discretionary executive power, and the president's power to veto or nullify such official's exercises of discretionary executive power."

The first component was settled, for the most part, a long time ago. It was the struggle between Andrew Johnson and the Congress over the "Tenure in Office" act and finalized, for all intents and purposes, by the Supreme Court in 1926 in the case "Myers v U.S." The second and third components are the source of the real conflict that has existed between the president and a number of external actors since Watergate and will be the focus of most of the discussion of this paper.

The unitary executive largely draws from two sources within the Constitution--the "Oath" and "Take Care"clauses of Article II. The "Oath" requirement acts as a sort of shield, protecting the president from enforcing things he independently determines is unconstitutional. The "Oath" clause directs the president to "faithfully execute the Office of the President and [to] preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." It is mostly the duty of the attorney general to protect the prerogatives of the president, but it is not limited to the attorney general. Currently, in addition to the Department of Justice, there are a number of White House officials who insure that none of the presidents Article II powers are infringed upon or that the president is not enforcing or defending sections of law deemed to be unconstitutional."

Zat, instead of being so dismissive, it might do you some good to read up on the history of the "unitary executive" you might discover that how Bush is operating is neither unique or extraordinary. The democrats in Congress know this, which is why they would rather attack Bush politically by making accusations, rather then challenge him legally in the courts where they would likely lose.

Truman was the last wartime president.

With more then 160,000 troops deployed in harms way, Bush easily qualifies as a "wartime" President.

If the democrats ever get around to trying to challenge his expanded powers in Court, they will find this out very quickly.

"Zat, instead of being so dismissive"

You're dismissed.

"how Bush is operating is neither unique or extraordinary"


You are insane.

Boy he is unique and extraordinary.

And those are possibly the kindest things anybody will ever say about him in the future.

Perhaps you are correct. However, he sure does have a lot of accomplices in congress doesn't he?

What is Rove supposed to talk about??

Have any of you watched the hearings on this BS?

It was testified already that he was in ONE meeting and said nothing..

And that was from Monica Goodling--who the Dems said was forthright...

The Dems need to have hearings on Reconstruction--That is an important issue that needs deciphering.

FF for Zat!

if, God and heaven forbid, a democrat wins the white house sometime in the next 50 years or so....lets archive this thread along with several others and bring it back when the democratic declares executive privledge......lets then read about all of the yelling from them about how the pres can fire the usa's for any reason he wants and how the republican congress cant just drag in someone from the white house staff to put them on the firing line....because of .....executive privledge........

and reports yesterday said that the white house would comply anyway with something like 2 or 3 staffers or others who would talk to these chraracter assasins of the democrat party.......with no script and with legal counsel in order to avoid yet another perjury trap from the libs........0

and there have been how many thousands of pages given to them .......and all because the president exercised his right to fire them even if it was just because they smelled bad......

The precedents set by this president which you support in every way will be used gleefully by President Clinton when it is her turn.

And BL2, you won't be able to say a goddam thing about it.

oh bullshit to that teddy boy.........

it sure does....

taxes going up radically

terrorists knowing that they will be treated like common criminals

health care run by politicians in dc

illegal aliens getting more benefits than they do now including drivers liscences and probably a vote or hundred

so if hillary is elected assistant president will she and the real president known (SOMETIMES ANYWAY) as her husband.....will they bring back all the pictures and shit that they stole when they left the last time........

His (Rove's) position is not an elected position. Like you, Bush is allowed to talk in private with whomever he pleases.

My guess is that Bush and Rove wouldn't care to much for the company of your personal friends either. From reading many of your posts it's you can add my name to the list.

Why has the Bush administration said that even contempt charges will not be pursued by THEIR Department of Justice?

The Republicans all know damn well that their tons of minions are BLIND LOYALISTS to the Death! - even their Own!!

The Ditto-brains blindly follow "CHRIST"-ian BUSH and LUSH LimpBong no matter the PILES of EVIDENCE of EVIL Wrong-Doings stacked to the Moon!

SomeHow they still Believe them to being CHRIST-like..??

SURELY, If CHRIST walked the Earth Today, He would NOT:

- ALWAYS help and Protect Profit and the Richest, as Money is the Root of all Evil
- KILL 100s of Thousands of Women and Kids in IRAQ!
- Block Education and Medical help for Kids!
- Incure DUIs, DRUG arrests, 5 Divorces, Flying to screw Teen HOs in the Dominican
- Countless Proven Lying, Stealing, Indictments, Corruption and Pardoning the Evil-Doers even within their Own GANG!
- Generate BIG GOVT (military and contractors) to leave $TRILLIONS in Tax Debt to our KIDS!



Yet, they will NEVER be EMBARRASSED for how REPUB-TARDED they look to the Logical, Sane Folks defending DEMOCRACY called DEMOCRATS!!!

Please EXPLAIN why Loyatly to SATAN and his THUGS is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can ever imagine - even to your Death and your own KIDS!??

You can't be in contempt of something that doesn't exist to begin with.

Watch this now, you should really catch on to this crossroad in life as soon as you can.

Now watch this. You can't be in contempt of a body (whether a person or persons)that has no legal jurisdiction to interrogate you.

You either want a secular government or you don't.

I wish some of you people would make the endeavor to grow up and realize you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Incubator for RepubTardation -

WTF do you NOT Understand!???

It is SPELLED OUT in the US CONSTITION that CONGRESS has a DUTY to SUPERVISE and MONITOR the Justice Department and Executive Branch.

Because your CORRUPT Rubber Stamper Repubss did NOT DO THEIR JOB for 6 Years - LOOK WHAT HAPPENDED!!!

As DEMS Said - TIME to DRAIN the SCUM FILLED SWAMP and somehow that Upsets You.!??


Yet, you DEFEND EVIL and CRIME like you CRAVE IT!???

Oh, Hurray for a few Typos - TIME to Attack the Messenger and Ignore the Message.

Close your Mind to Truth - or likely you DITTO Thinkers have left for your daily LUSH MIND F%&Ks!!


Not sure HOW a FAT, Never-served-a-Day in the MILITARY or GOVERNMENT WARTHog ChickenHawk is your Messiah and GURU on Everything!????

Hilarious!!! Wanna buy a Bridge!??

Please EXPLAIN why Loyatly to SATAN and his THUGS is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can ever imagine - even to your Death and your own KIDS!??

I don't have loyalty to dems nor republicans. See the difference between you and I? I trust God and God only. YOU?

You're promoting a party. Tell me, in your own righteous way, what things would you do differently than what is presently being done and where would you start? List the 5 most important changes and the solutions to each.

I'll check back in a few hours, that should give you ample time to hopefully find an honest response. Be careful now, God's listening.

GOD is telling you to Defend proven EVIL-Doers like DUMBYA and LUSH..!???

Yes - You will be back in a Few after your GURU of CRIME bends you OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER!!

At Least BILLY got a BJ from a GIRL!
All you Ditto get ASS-F%$*$KED Daily by WARTHOGS!!!!

As a wartime president, Bush has embraced the concept of the Unitary Executive, which traces it's roots back to the founding fathers. Almost every president since, has defined the executive branch to some extent by this construct:.......

Posted by Bowa

This is the real problem with this issue. Bush STARTED a war (lied about the reasons for it, no less) so he could claim these powers. That should raise questions (in thinking people)about how appropriate these powers are. The twin towers were brought down by terrorists, not the military arm of some government. We are not at war with a country. We are at "war" with civilian terrorists. I don't believe that you can be at war with civilians.

Government agency criticizes Bush plan to ignore criminal contempt charges

A report issued last week by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service casts doubt on the Bush administration's claim that assertions of executive privilege protect current and former White House officials from criminal contempt citations by Congress.

"Factual, legal, and constitutional aspects of these OLC opinions are open to question and potentially limitations," write Morton Rosenberg, a Specialist in American Public Law and Todd B. Tatelman, a Legislative Attorney, both in the CRS's American Law Division.

The CRS is a non-partisan agency of the Library of Congress that responds to inquiries on policy questions offered by Members of Congress and their staffs. The agency's findings are not officially made available for public consumption.

My guess is you're posting a lifestyle, it's not providing evidence you have a faultless memory.

By the way, Borrrringgggggg.

The White House and it's stupid supporters in the public have circled the wagons. Pathetic, criminal, anti-American, and hateful. I have held such an incredibly low opinion of the American Right for so long that I suppose nothing surprises me anymore. Which is why rightwingers don't give a damn about what the rest of us have to say. Regardless, for partisan boogers like Incubus, Newjasman or Bowa to be in any way claiming that WH's actions are acceptable is borderline treasonous in the eyes of all true Americans who love this country, and not just their rightwing ideology.

Moder8 they are so damned desperate it's not even funny. Whomever STILL supports Dubya should really examin themselves and see if they actually support this Country or not. That Bush Lemming Juice must be strong stuff cause tyhey sure are stupid.

Larry

Oh.

Ouch.

Since the Dems hop from one manufactured scandal to another, they demonstrate that they are not serious about anything.

Just gnats. Annoying insects.

Manufactured?

Please explain that one.

It's called Executive Privilege. Our nation's first President George Washington used it in 1796 and President Thomas Jefferson used it in 1807. Even the U.S. Supreme Court recognized the privilege in U.S. v. Nixon.

The only President to lose on executive privilege grounds in court was the liberal messiah President Bill Clinton who tried to weenie his way out of testifying about sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky. Good call Bill. Your B.J.'s really had a lot to do with fulfilling your executive branch responsibilities. Oops the courts said no! LMFAO!!!

The word is that the Dems are draining the Scum Pond slowly enough to last until next year - Impeachment would accelerate the climax too soon

By that time, with no Scum left for the Lush Bong lemmings to suckle; the hope is that the Repubs will be wiped off the map in November!

Another word is that the Repubs know that and are "hoping" for another Terrorist disaster to send the flock of sheeple back into their profit-lovin' Arms.

Even Dumbya wasn't that Dumb, sort of, when said "Fool me once... uhhh uhhhh uhhhmm weell, not gonna fool me more"

Time will tell the Fate of American Democracy and if the Bush/Lush crop of Ditto-Shaivos can be made massive Fools for Profit, as proven and taught in TexAss by Jim Baaker to lead the weak minded by their Bibles all the way to mass Riches - Again!

UTASTAFF Must have forgotten about the Aaron Burr Jeferson use of executive Privilege that was quashed by the Supreme Court as well as Nixon being quashed by the Supreme Court. Nice try at a Clinton Deflection though.

Larry

UTA - Please don't say you are one of the last Bush lickers left?

You MUST have your Nurse plug-in your "thinking tubes" soon that Lush unplugged to suckle Years ago.

Read the posts above about why the big D "wanted to be a War Pres" and how anyone who thinks that Fake is "Christ"ian is more delusional than the knocked-out by a pretzel, bourbon soused "Cowboy" writhing in a daze on the Floor!

Simply stunning that anyone could even remotely approach defending any RepubTard these Days - You an OJ licker and defender too, suppose! Maybe they will both take you Golfin' sometime to look for the "killers" and "terrorists" there....

"political theater"
"hallowed tradition of executive privlege"
"these are not the droids you're looking for"


FF fer Thrillhammer.

On Topic?

MC Rove won't comply?

Damn, that so gangsta!

"Formally directed by the White House"?

Spud wonders who's idea that was.

Spud doesn't wonder very long.

Be Well.
