Its a mockery of justice.

It's foreboding and chilling.

Its a mockery of justice.

Of course it is.

But you have to understand that liberals literally have a different meaning for the word "justice". I highly recommend reading A Conflict of Visions, by Thomas Sowell. He explains this point very well.

Essentially, liberals define "justice" by the outcome, not by the process. If their guy, their cause, their goals aren't victorious, then there was no "justice". The way that "justice" is brought about is entirely beside the point. It's about who wins.

Liberals will declare that "justice" was done in this case, because their cause was victorious. The symbolic victory--Cheney is who they're really after--is theirs. What ever cheating, violations of rules or blatant bias existed in the courtroom, that's "justice" by the liberal definition of the word.

Conservatives, by comparison, define "justice" by the fairness of the process. If all the rules were followed, and everyone did their jobs honestly and to the best of their abilities, then justice was probably done. At least, it's the closest imperfect people can get to it.

The correct outcome usually follows the correct application of "justice" in the process.

That's just not the way a liberal sees it.

Lots of law. No Justice.

NO. This is justice. He lied under oath. End of story.

I'm sick of "b-b-but the other side did it" defense of BOTH parties. We have to hold both sides to the same high standards or we're just engaging in partisan BS. We have to be willing to show these nozzles that corruption, lying, and general dishonest behavior will not be tolerated.

I would hope that, as a party, they would put up a primary challenger to whatever incumbent was scum. If not I'll vote for the other side solely to get rid of the corrupt, dishonest politician. Until we show them (and this is both for Republican Party, the Democratic Party, et al, that we mean business when we say clean government, they're going to crap on us.

Hold everyone to the same high standard. A congressman, a president, a staffer, no public servant is above the law. Failure to do this will result in politics as usual: mere partisan theatrics.

Rush's analysis stands today as perfection on this travesty of justice. Still, the Left, the MSM, the Dems will rejoice in this travesty and once more the GOP, the Prez, the VP will be blasted, poll numbers will go down and the double standard so evident will not be explained resulting in the public viewing the GOP as even more venal than the Dems. That, of course, will count for votes in '08. Yipe. No wonder many are awaiting the Second Coming to bring to a close this unjust world.
