That's all a bunch of BS. Congress lost it's right to complain about executive branch subpoenas and warrants when it served a subpoena on the Executive Branch in United States v. Nixon. As long as it is a properly obtained subpoena, then the congressman and congress has no right to complain. People's house or not, the fact is that this was a reasonable search and seizure under the provisions of the Constitution. NOTHING in the Constitution gives a congressman any more rights than you or me except when he is on the floor of Congress, where he or she is immune from arrest except in certain circumstances, and a felony happens to be one of those certain circumstances.
Hastert is doing nothing more than protecting the crooks in congress so that they won't vote his butt out of the speakership position. There are clearly enough crooks in congress on both sides of the aisle (who are scared to death of a justice department investigation) who would be happy to vote out Hastert and put in a corrupt politician like themselves who will put up roadblocks into any investigation into their own shenannigans.
Total BS. You not only have to be able to read the Constitution but you have to know and understand WHY the Constitution says what it does.
I said that the search of Jefferson's office was justified, I also said that Hastert was right. SLAM the door in their faces -- then open it up and let them in.
Next time read the entire post.. Thank you||
BTW - I bet you are a "I will stay home rather than vote for a RINO type aren't you???
