I have read that the White House and Congress are steamed at the newly appointed Gonzales who refuses to help. It seems he's worrying about his hoped for appointment to the SCOTUS in June. I don't think he has to worry about a filibuster now - for I doubt Pres. Bush will even put him up. Why people turn on the Bushes - the ones that most tried to help - is beyond me. "With friends like that..."
I have posted until I am dizzy that if Jeb or Pres. Bush had 'rode in ' like they think they should/could, even were they successful, impeachment proceedings would begin immediately. I wouldn't matter if successful or not. It would tie up the rest of their terms, rendering them ineffectual - and assure a dem win in 08.
You can bet the Kennedy-Kerry-Hitlery-Pelosi-Reid crowd are licking their lips in anticipation.
If there's anything left they can do legally, they will. Otherwise, it would seen as grandstanding -and would not save Terri. They are too honorable for that.
but it seems they don't have loyal supporters - only people who knee-jerk judge - people who condemn and spit at Jesse Jackson for the one decent thing he's done in years - and condemn the Bushes for one thing they think, erroneously, they should do - brushing aside all the many things they have done good. (There are a lot a posters here in the past few days that really put a chill on my heart. It scares me to see how quickly "the masses" can turn. History has always been so.
Well, he can kiss that one good-bye. What I am wondering is who will be the choice for Chief Justice - the current back benchers ALL failed the test. While it might be unusual, one of them should have written and published a dissent to the Court's refusal to grant cert to the case. If none of them saw this as an historic case regarding the relative powers of the judiciary vs legislative and executive branches than NONE of the current justices have the historic vision to hold the job. I am disappointed, but glad we found out now.
Maine,
I have been defending this post alone for hours. I'm about to go to bed, I can hardly see the keyboard. But, I think about Terri and I keep writing.
But now, when I do go to bed, at least, I'm buoyed by your practical, comon sense and wise comment.
Thanks and God Bless
