I was doing my own investigation into corruption when they did this. I just played along to catch them later.

This decision was no surprise to me. When I was in high school, the step-father of a classmate was indicted, tried and convicted of bribery. He was Senator Daniel Brewster from Maryland.

Brewster took his case to the Supreme Court. And they turned away his challenge, based on the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution. The reasoning was rock solid. The freedom to speak and debate does not include the freedom to take bribes in return for corrupt acts as a Member of Congress.

The Brewster case is still good law. Rep. Jefferson is toast.

And Hastert just had to get himself on the wrong side of this issue when it began...

When he joined Pelosi in attacking the Bush administration saying it was unconstitutional, that somehow they were above the law, he burned his bridge with me.

Hastert was my biggest disappointment through this whole affair. Incredibly stupid OpEd he wrote basically demanding they were above the law.

Amazing ruling, that a congressional office is not a foreign embassy.

I became even more convinced when Hastert did that that the vast majority of both parties and all of their leadership in Congress are corrupt.... why else would Hastert be so adamant about preventing warranted searches?

We already went round about this.

I hope Congress Smacks the Judicial and Executive Branch hard on this. They have the power to outlaw such an action and I hope they do.

I could care less about Jefferson.

The folks that think he is the issue are being decieved.

It is almost inevitable another corrupt administration like the Clintoonistas will gain control over the executive at some point. Then watch in the middle of an Impeachment Proceeding or during the prep phase the offices of those elected officials gathering evidence and preparing the impeachment will be raided. The names of the witnesses and any informats will be exposed and the impeachment will be
spiked or severely compromised.

I wish the powerful in this world were worthy of your trust on this but they are not. At least with the Congress we have 300 Little Dictators all squabling,hopefully they will leave
us alone. The other way we will have but one.

I suspect a lot of politicians in La. are on pins and needles about right now. All that evidence, that can be used.

"The president's 45-day "cooling off period" ended Sunday with no compromise worked out but with assurances from the Justice Department that it would not seek to regain custody of the materials until Hogan ruled on Jefferson's request."

It's time for the WH to stop coddling thugs like WJ.
Tom Delay gets smeared over nothing and WJ is caught red-handed guilty. We the people DEMAND that Govt. officials get held accountable for criminal actions.
