And they''ve the passage redacted in their bibles that states "obey the laws of the land", obviously.....

Rove, with his piggy jowls, looks a LOT like Limbaugh and Starr. We must wonder if they all came from the same unknown boar?

why does it bother you that congress wants to fulfill constitutional responsibility of oversight over bush administration??

[formrusmcsgt]

You just described CONGRESS perfectly.

Did I now? You must have slept through the 2006 elections when a whole slew of congressmen were held accountable by the voters......

if bush wasn''t involved then white house can''t claim executive privelege -- the only way to claim executive privelege is if bush was involved.

So which is it??

Gee, Pat Leahy will not get to grandstand at a Judicial Committee "show hearing". Too bad. (Yawn)

"Anyone who thinks they can operate with no oversight whatsover, conduct themselves with complete disregard for the law or morality, and thumb their nose at the other branches of government as if they didn''''t even exist are, indeed, contemptuous individuals and deserve to be cited as such."

Well, the current Congress IS contemptible. It can''t pass budgets, can''t get us out of Iraq, can''t properly oversee the pages/interns, can''t do anything except waste time on petty political fueding, can''t see anything except President Bush, etc. . .

When any aid, congressional or legislative, try to avoiding the scrutiny of congress they are in essence trying to escape the checks and balances put in place by the US Constitution. And this in itself is a criminal act, but criminal acts by other parties make this escapement possible.

No one should be above the law, not even these yahoos. Unfortunately, they''ll probably get away with a fine that amounts to pocket change for them. Then they''ll both go to the local pub together and laugh about it. It''s sad to say, but justice is dead when it comes to politicians with holding information.

[fornicario]

Won''t happen. They will get their secret backdoor deal, and the Bush regime will triumph it as a blow against terrorism.

[pepperp1]

About time too.
