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.

I don’t agree with you. All the FBI had to do was get the Capitol police to do the search; they could have accompanied them. I think it was a grave error in judgment. Whether it’s constitutional or not will be decided in the Court of Appeals or, ultimately, the SCOTUS.

Newt is not defending Jefferson, he is defending Congress.

To sharpen that a little, he is making the courts judge the issue of Executive enforcement of the law with evidence obtained by means that are beyond constitutional bounds.

Keep in mind Newt is a historian. In the overall scheme of things, the history of the Republic, he has determined this is an issue that deserves scrutiny.
