FINALLY!!!!!
huh?
Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., a former House speaker; Robert Michel, R-Ill., a former House minority leader; and Scott Palmer, the former chief of staff for Rep. Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., are among those who have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, backing Jefferson’s argument that the FBI raid on his office last May was unconstitutional.
He’s Black. How could he have possibly done anything wrong. <>
And, the taking of bribe money IS constitutional?
I am just commenting on the fact that at last there is SOME ACTION on this issue. If the current bunch won’t do it, then then-———
Newt, Hillary’s new best friend, is defending the indefensible.
It’s so interesting to watch Congress behave as though they are above the very laws they write.
Cynthia McKinney can hit a policeman and nothing happens to her.
Patrick Kennedy can drive while under the influence and nothing happens to him.
Jefferson can be caught red handed using the National Guard for personal purposes and stealing $90,000 and we have a staunch conservative supporting him and condemning the search of Jefferson’s office which is a ridiculous position on its face.
And, the taking of bribe money IS constitutional?

See reply #4.

The issue of his office being searched has no bearing on the fact that two people are serving prison time for bribing him and that 90grand in cash was in his freezer.
Issue a non apology statement about raiding his office in the morning, convict him in the afternoon and lock his ass up by sundown.
The government’s case is essentially that, given a warrant signed by a lower court judge (who may have just had a decision overturned), any Supreme Court Justice’s chambers may be searched by the FBI without further ado. This may prove to be a surprisingly hard sell at the USSC.
Unbelieveable! Newt can say goodbye to any hope of being on the GOP ticket. What a loser.
If I understand this position I can run a criminal enterprise out of a congressional office and not be touched by the law. What a deal, I am going to run for the House.
They are all so worried about the power and rights of the legislature. Although they all want to be president, none of them worries about the ever diminishing power of the executive branch. Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt...all these “wartime” presidents could never have won any wars at all were they handed our current exuctive branch which has been left impotent in the face of the ever-growing power of the legislature and the judiciary.
>Constitutional guarantees of separation of powers are maintained.
hmmmmmmm why didn’t anyone think of that when Congress handed the Executive with the power to make war?

:) It’s okay, happens to all of us now and then.
“Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., a former House speaker; Robert Michel, R-Ill., a former House minority leader; and Scott Palmer, the former chief of staff for Rep.

Sorry state of affairs.....above is the main reason we are losing.....losing and will continue to lose until spineless, gutless, PUBS grow a set of b@&ls.
I certainly can’t argue with that.
