Does anyone else here smell a rat?
This is a blasphemy to the constitution.......
What the h*ll is the President playing at? Are Senators above the law?
Yes, of course.
I'm certain that the same courtesy would be extended to a Republican congressman, or even to common folk, like you and me.
/S
.
Regardless of his reasons for this, Bush pisses me off on this one. That demRat needs to be nailed on this and I don't care how many repubs get exposed as well.
Everyone settle down - this was a brilliant political move by the President.
He effectively took this story off the front page, saved idiots like Haskert from self-distructing, and allows the search to stand. Time will show that this move was the right one.
Nice move Mr. President.
Government by the ruling class, of the ruling class, for the ruling class.
We are no longer in the equation folks.
Our trips to the ballot box only slightly change the political landscape between 2 parties.
While we have benefited by USSC appointments (that is a big one), GWBs position on the War On Terror (1000% better than the Dems), all else seems like it was directed by a socialist enclave.
I want to know who is being protected by this 45 day cover up. How long does it take for paper shredders, magic marker redacting, e-mail deletions to take place? In 45 days, Hillary could rewrite the history of the USA and make the MSM believe it.
Hastert's request was foolish, but Bush is doing the right thing. The courts can decide who is right and the evidence will most likely be used. It's a healthy respect shown for Congress' claim.
The good ol boys club protecting the good ol boys club.
Political arrogance is being displayed at it's greatest right now.
How can a corruption investigation move forward if there is interferance from the top?
Average citizens in the same position woiuld be indicted for obstruction of justice.
This case of corruption goes way beyond Jefferson I am thinking. Otherwise why would Republican(s) come to the aid of a Democrat? If it were the other way Demons would be jumping all over a Repub with the least shread of evidence. I smell a rat too.
What happens when the government decides it is above the law?
Not just acting outside of its constitutional authority, which has been happening, but in direct violation of written law.
I think this action would cause Clair Wolf's clock to advance out of the awkward period.
This has been discussed ad infinitum here:

What the hell is this. Has President Bush lost his mind? Is this the beginning of politicians who will be above the law. No longer subject to investigation and court ordered warrants are meaningless. Bush, is making a mistake. Too many mistakes lately.
Sorry, I agree this was a good move by Bush. It gives those dumbe@$$ republicans in the House a chance to climb off the ledge. Meanwhile Justice takes it to Court and wins. If and when (I believe) Justice takes it to Court, that will be Bush telling them they aren't above the law.
More 'new tone in Washington' crap from the President.
