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.
-PD
I guess that means they're walking through Arlen to get to W... ;)
Well I sure as hell don't know who you think it is. Would you please tell me?
Veeerrrry inn-te-ressss-ting.
I do believe you are a prophet.
"deal with that person appropriately" I believe is very close to what he said.
"Diversity" (i.e., Marxism in America) has brought us to this point.
They really are whiners. I mean, the senate and congress vote themselves pay raises far above what most working Americans get and then have the balls to sit around playing name calling games and gotcha on each other, rather than the terrorists. The Dems could not be in a lower class in my opinion. I hate to say it, but the GOP needs some skills as well.
This isn't inside information. At most, its some "insider's" opinion about what is going to happen.
Won't work. Nobody in the entire country cares about this, and any dem with any brain cells left functioning don't want to be attached to this when the special prosecutor come out with an indictment. Those standing too close to this will be tarred for all time.
Show me were Bush said he would fire anyone for anything, especially when no law was broken.
I'm not attacking his piece, merely asking. As I said before, nothing in it is new, it's a compendium of things posted on this site over the past few days. It is written in that fearing-the-choppers, confidential style, so I had a little fun with it. He doesn't seem to have a sense of humor about his "insider" pose, and that's fine. But I have been brought up to question all those who say "Don't question me".
Dont forget what happened after Nixon went down. The public was so angry that they could except being led by a Peanut Farmer from Georgia. Compared to that fool, Hillary might seem tame.
I do get the impression that this is more about distraction from judges than from any real 1st amendment issue.
See the push poll about Bush's honesty that was ginned up for today.
I may not agree with the writer but I do seriously believe this is democrats in panic mode about the court.
Democrats are silly, they control the law schools, every major mandatory bar association, and even the voluntary ABA.
The fact that Bush can even FIND a conservative judicial candidate is a minor miracle.
You should get this to Rush, Elder, Hannity, and the rest of the front line radio artillery. Prominent bloggers will take it from there I would imagine.
No, what I'm saying is that the hypothetical argument I set up (that the legitimacy of the presidency is in question due to allegations of illegal impropriety) would be nonsense. That doesn't mean that the Democrats won't try it, whether or not this situation has been engineered to that end or just fell into their laps by fortuitous circumstance (from their perspective).
In fact, it would be remarkably similar to how they've justified the filibuster of the Bolton nomination. They would demand that the White House come clean on the Plame matter before moving forward on the Supreme Court nomination, just as they demanded that they come clean with regard to the past intelligence reports before permitting the Bolton nomination to move forward.
Thanks going on and reminding me. I was about 4 when Nixon went down.
This theory has been going around on
a number of conservative sites.
The only ones who really care are a few
Democrats.
Bush can pick whomever he wants. He's the
President.
The Dems can kick a fuss over this but
out here in the real world people only
care about making money and not getting
blown up - in that order.
Yes, I agree. But if there's a chance this attack could stall getting two conservatives on the court, and if the essence of the attack is Rove, I'm thinking that Bush and Rove might agree he should leave. I'm also thinking that this scenario is close to the bone. Anyway, thanks for answering my question...:-)
Remember the recent PBS funding imbroglio? The Volvo driving, Birkenstock-clad, `peace-loving' chablis slurpers would have you think they are above such things, but don't let them fool you: they can and will throw a `rabbit-punch' or hit below the belt.
Leftist Democrats are fundamentalist religious zealots because politics is their religion, and for some reason, they think they're still in charge.
Time to put the steel-toe boots to these people--kick them to the curb.
Metaphorically speaking, of course . . .
