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.
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-———
Sorry, Am I brain dead this morning or what! Just goes to show ya that our eyes see what we want them to.

Do you want the precedent on the books that the executive branch can raid Capitol offices — when Hillary becomes president?
The clash between the legislature and the executive is independent of that between parties, and at least to some conservatives, the principle of separation of powers is more important than any one member, even if he appears to be as guilty as handmade sin.
As far as Jefferson goes, I don’t know why he hasn’t been dragged in front of a judge, but that’s up to the Justice Department, not either party in Congress. Congress could kick him out, but I can’t think of a case of Congress expelling a member who hadn’t either been convicted of a crime or seceded from the Union.
Pubbies want to know why we no longer support them, look no further than this outrageous act!
