Don’t ask me, because you know I won’t tell you how I came across this information.
Here is the scoop.
This is all about the Supreme Court.
With the knowledge that Rove was Matthew Cooper’s background source regarding the Plame incident, no matter the fact that no laws were broken, the Democrats leaped upon the matter as a way for Democrats and the MSM to possibly prevent Bush from changing the makeup of the Supreme Court. Under normal circumstances, Democrats cannot stop Bush from reshaping the Supreme Court, and that has Democrats terrified. They cannot sustain a Filibuster without Frist invoking the Nuclear Option on them, so they only have one last option, which is now underway.
The Democrats must demonize Bush to the degree that they can then begin their long-awaited impeachment articles, with the MSM in tow. If Congress can introduce articles of impeachment against Bush, then the MSM will demand that Bush postpone any nominations to the Supreme Court until the matter is decided. It is the only hope they have left of preventing a Conservative Supreme Court from taking hold, and if they do not accomplish this, the flow of money into Democratic coffers will stop instantaneously.
Next week, you will begin to hear Democrats suggesting that if Bush does not fire Karl Rove, then he is guilty of “Obstruction of Justice” and “Lying to the American People” in order to protect a friend. The Media will play along dutifully, because it was there idea in the first place.
Forget about Judith Miller.
Because the Special Prosecutor has asked the White House not to discuss the matter, no one will be able to inform Miller or the NY Times on how Miller should lie to save herself. Without that knowledge, the Times will not let her testify at all. They are paying her to be silent, and it is they who are actually guilty of ‘Obstruction of Justice’ Miller knows who the leaker is, and you all know who I believe that person to be.
What you all are about to see, is the most coordinated, vicious attack ever in the history of Politics against this administration, because those involved have everything at stake. Without control of the Supreme Court, the Liberal agenda is dead for the next 30-40 years. All of their Environmental nonsense, Abortion, Private Property, Affirmative Action and Civil Rights issues go right down the tubes.
The Bush Administration is aware of what is to come, and might be able to prevent it with a little ‘inside baseball’ but the looniest on the left will attempt this no matter what the outcome.
Expect editorials next week, arguing whether or not it is fair for a president who “stole the first election” and won the second election by the “smallest margin of any incumbent President” who is “embroiled in a National Security Scandal” to be deciding on the makeup of the Supreme Court. At the same time, Liberal Senators will begin to suggest that Conformation hearings on anyone Bush selects should be postponed until the investigations are over. Unfortunately for our side, they have an alley in one Arlen Specter. They will be leaning heavily on him to go along with delayed hearings. Specter is already angry with Bush over the Stem-cell research issue.
Will it work? No. Why? Because Bush understands the law, and also understands (with Rove’s help) that no matter how loud and long the Democrats scream, they and the MSM really cant do anything about the Supreme Court, but can effect public opinion. Bush, by telling Republicans to shut up about his choice, has set precedent for when he tells (by his Supreme Court selections) the Democrats the same thing. If he ignores both sides, he can just choose who he wants, and that is exactly what he will do.
So get ready for an ugly, ugly Summer and Fall. Don’t expect to hear much from Bush on Rove, or the Courts after he makes his selections. Republicans in Congress will also be silent (except Specter and Hagel) and will not risk their own re-elections and legacies to side with Democrats this time round.
So there it is, take it or leave it. I wont answer any questions about how or where I got the information, so don’t ask me.

Was that parenthetical phrase a personal touch? I've often wondered how he didn't get called that more often.
You've made it around the world!

During the Clinton impeachment, less than 20% of the populace opposed Clinton's impeachment and removal - though only about 30% actively supported it - the rest thought he deserved it, but weren't pushing it. The media managed to convince the Senators that 70% opposed the impeachment, and scared them into limiting the hearing to a farce.
It is obvious that a bunch of Repubs are getting skittish about sticking their necks out, regardless of the merits - which falsely implies there is something serious to the public.
The Power of the Press...Even if they can't directly pull the wool over the eyes of the people, they can still scare congresscritters.
Oh, obviously. But remember that it was the Dems who tagged the possibility of a fillibuster limitation as a *nuclear option,* both cheapening the reality of the use of the real thing, and obscuring the congressional nature of the dispute via their contempt for the real Command Authority.
My point was if the Dems think Frist has the votes to use the "nuclear option" to do away with the filibuster of judicial nominees, the Dems may "go nuclear" by trying to start an impeachment and proceeding with the media blitz PK suggested in the post, all in an effort to try to derail a conservative appointment to the Supreme Court.
They've been planning an impeachment since before the election,as a hedge against the possibility that Kerry would blow it as badly as Gore before him. But it's not *a conservative appointment to the Supreme Court* that they fear, but multiples, resulting in a certain shift from the court's leftward tilt. They can easily survive four more years of Bush; it's three decades or more of a Bush-appointed Supreme Court that strikes fear in their shriveled hearts.
But if they go after Bush with an impeachment attempt, he'd better be ready to go after them with something worse, the Bush *Nagasaki Option.* And at least two of their potential 2008 candidates are quite vulnerable.
This is like a game of "telephone". ..Like the half a year or so that the MSM claimed that Bush had said in his State of the Union speech that Iraq was an imminent threat to the United States. When they believed their own delusion and pushed it too far, they went back and found that not only was there no such claim, but pretty much every major administration official had made multiple statements that Iraq was not yet an imminent threat. ...and yet the falshood was repeated daily for months on end, and the Administration denials were construed as lies.
Did you see the word "resign" in my post?
The little swaggerer shot his mouth off and said he'd fire the leaker .... OK it's put up or shut up time.
If you think Rove counts for more than 2-3 Supremes, you're a damn fool.
Hardly. If it is simply overturned, the individual states will set the policy within their state. It would only severely limit abortion if the SCOTUS went so far as to declare it (and with it, all murders - a state issue) a violation of a right to life.
It was your posting by another FReeper. "Its the Courts Stupid" (so says a little birdy) was its title.
Your're a fool if you think Rove doesn't matter here. Here is where the Republicans make a stand and defend an innocent man.
It was the same post (yours) as on this thread.
Okay. I'm gonna stop now. You are obviously faster...:-)
Pretty soon the Rats will start turning on themselves, what a blood bath that will be.......
