This is a follow-up on several earlier posted threads. The moonbats are going to town.

If the rats ever get a president elected again, they will reap what they sew.

This is what happens with a democratic controlled Congress, disaster, witch trials, propaganda spewing and third world truth telling. I heard here on FR several times before the 2006 elections, it would be good for democrats to be in power to teach republicans a lesson. I was one of the freepers saying it would be a disaster. I guess we can tell those calling for change in Congress at the time here were dead wrong and those that attacked the republicans MORE THAN the democrats in the media, like Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowry and others should be proud of themselves.

More barking from the mangy, rabid dogs in Congress.

And when does this esteemed body get to work on the “people’s business”? Seems like all the two legislative bodies want to do is get in spitting matches with the other two branches of government.

[Alter Kaker]

Except this barking could result in $100,000 fines and one year in imprisonment for both Bolten and Miers in the House. This is a serious Cosntitutional show-down.

Sometimes I wish Congress could still settle their differences with duels....

The Dems are threatening to have the House Sergeant at Arms arrest Miers and Bolten.

I call Cheney for the Executive branch!

They are trying to create campaign fund raising opportunities.

They also are trying to find a way into White House documents and Emails to do a fishing expedition.

If Bush wanted to, he could legally fire everyone and it is legal for any reason he wanted.

The people mostly know this now, so what is the payoff for Democrats, go get below 16% approval ratings?

Subject to complete pardons?

[hsalaw]

Arlene is really an ass. Now he’s saying he’s going to review the testimony of Roberts and Alito to see if their rulings are consistent with that testimony. What an idiot! What about the separation of powers now? Congress is just disgusting.

[Alter Kaker]

Subject to complete pardons?

Contempt of Congress is probably not pardonable, although the subject has never, to my knowledge, been addressed in a court.

[Marysecretary]

What IS this all about? I don’t understand it. Help, please?

[Minn]

It would be so nice to see Bush take to the podium and say “We fired them because we felt like it. We’re not talking to you any more about it because we don’t have to and don’t feel like feel like it. If that bothers you check out the constitution, you morons. Next question.”

[tobyhill]

In the end this goes nowhere because the President can pardon anyone except in cases of impeachment.

[LibLieSlayer]

According to Rush via Levin... they have NO AUTHORITY to do so without a court order... and Justice has to order it... and Gonzales says NO!
