BREAKING NEWS:Judge rules FBI search of Rep. William Jefferson's Capitol Hill office was constitutional
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
He might even call for "backup", but he will maintain order in his own house.
The court has now overstepped where the Executive overstepped. Time to cut off their heat for the winter; maybe even their filter water contracts.
Fire him? How about 8 to 10 in a federal slammer?
What are you selling?
Why was that removed?
I'm not selling anything. That was William Jefferson's company, Netlink Digital Television.
how do you know? suppose the party in power in Congress was wholly corrupt, even to the point of excusing real crimes?
this will go to appeal all the way to the SCOTUS, so let's see what happens. I predict a 9-0 defeat in the SCOTUS personally, on the narrow point with respect to this case being covered by some constitutional protection.
let congress do whatever it wants with respect to the budget. hell, let Congress stand up and repeal the federal bribery laws for its members if they want to thwart these investigations - but don't subvert the process by claiming some constitutional protection for them.
so congressional offices are a sanctuary? can a congressman hide bloody clothes in his office after killing someone?
It was very strange -- maybe if you signpost better?
Signpost? What does that mean?
They've done worse you know.
Say "the following is an example of ...."
It didn't have a particularly political message -- just a standard advertisement.
I'm still not clear about what you are saying I didn't do.
Everything was cross referenced back to:

FBI raids House of Representatives office
WITH the paragraph I excerpted from the FBI report.
Their job is to maintain the Supreme Court Building and to maintain order in the building (plus do all sorts of other administrative details).
GSA doesn't run the main building although it does support courts throughout the country.
The USSC feels it has the prerogative to ask Congress for an appropriation to run their court without kowtowing to the Executive.
My bet is on the USSC siding with Congress against the lower court on the this very narrow issue ~ to wit, did the FBI act appropriately in conducting a raid on an office in a House of Representatives office building adjacent to the Capitol.
I think they'll support Congress and smack down the Executive.
It's gonna' be a cold winter in the FBI building in DC this winter, did you know that?
And that FBI agent who decided to do the search? He's probably already figured out his career at the FBI is at it's peak.
Not if he is a Kennedy on the way to a vote in Congress... /sarc
bump
Still no responses.
No Kennedy may be arrested going to and fro ~ doesn't matter how many people he kills.
Is what you posted the same as this post?
I can see how someone not following the thread could think that you spammed the thread with an ad. But in context, it's quite clear what you posted was relevant to the discussion and not an advertisement.
Same thread.
Hyperlinked with the relevant excerpt in post 22 of that thread, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1635819/posts preceeding the posts I copied over of 22, 23, 25, 26, and 27.
I've been accused of spamming, trying to sell something, posts removed and I'm not getting any follow up.
You really think that the Administrative Office of the Supreme Court maintains the Supreme Court building and regulates the heat in the building?
You never cease to amaze me with what you think you know -- and don't.
Here is what they do, and they are not the GSA (which does do those things for the SCOTUS):
US CODE: Title 28,604. Duties of Director generally

Sheesh.
