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.
W
nonsense. the constitution does protect congrespersons with regards to their duties within the context of their role as legislators. that role does not include bribery and general crimes, and that's what this case is about.
But you can see that it would be politically risky to do so. The mob loves this ruling.
Hopefully the Constitution will be upheld on appeal.
I disagree completely with your reasoning.
We are a nation of laws, not men.
There are 3 branches of government. None of the members of any of these 3 branches are above the law.
As regards future corrupt administrations, the Clinton adminstration violated so many laws with impunity in order to get political enemies, it is laughable that one would consider the manner of Jefferson's downfall to be opening any flood gate to future crooked administrations.
