And Pres. Bush could just keep firing the US Attorneys as the case is assigned to them. BWAHAHAHA! Neat, I think.
I would pay good money to be a fly on the wall on that day!! :-)
Can't wait until the time arrives (it must arrive eventually) when Bush is so close to the end of his term that he can tell the whole pack of idiots to go take a nap on the railroad tracks.
The Congress also has the power to impeach, convict, and remove the President and Vice-President of the United States for any of the several "high crimes and misdemeanors" that he has committed (in the exclusive opinion and judgment of the Distinguished Members of Congress involved). Winking the wrong way could suffice. Evidence is unnecessary. Nancy Pelosi has the votes to impeach, and Harry Reid almost certainly can amass the votes to convict on any serious charges or perhaps even petty charges like ignoring subpoenas. If the political position of the President deteriorates further, he could lose his office on such ridiculous or silly charges as vetoing acts of Congress, choking on a pretzel, employing those who suffer from cancer but oppose socialized medicine, having a cycling accident, or exhaling carbon dioxide as a Republican.
The point: Bush should fight the subpoena battle only to the extent that his engagement in it does not endanger his presidency. Perhaps he should compromise, "Strike the surrender clause, and I'll send you whoever you want under whatever conditions you may demand." The White House operates from a position of extreme weakness, and the President cannot afford the political fallout from such scandalous conduct as violating the unconstitutional Tenure of Office Act, repealed a century ago.
"Come and get me ya sissies!"
Well .. I think you're delusional. Try your DU speech on somebody else .. it's not working on me.
Nowdays, people who invoke the 5th, look like they have something to hide.
Yeah, I thought that was a great idea too.
I agree with you.
I don't know .. I've been wondering that myself. Maybe I'll see if Mark Levin can answer that one.
Thats silly
Bush should fight to the bitter end. The rats have been all about getting him out of office ever since he was selected, er, elected. It dont matter what he does. There will always be someone out to hang him for something. Same for the rest of the Bush cabinet.
The demoRats ssame ol dirty dozen has been taking turns almost daily with some accusation or another.
So let congress attempt to impeach Bush. Then we can have President Cheney run things for awhile. I don't think they want that succession. But then again, Rats have pretty small brains.
I love it!! Can't remember the name of the movie, but I always liked him as an actor.
Thats Cagney in White Heat ..."Top of the world!!!"
"And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present."
Pelosi couldn't get two-thirds to vote for adjournment on Christmas Day, let alone impeachment of an innocent President.
