1) Congress subpoenas WH
2) WH refuses to answer subpoenas
3) The case goes before SCOTUS
4) SCOTUS rules 5-4 for WH
5) The country is safe again

Comment by Gaydar3000

correction to #5: The country will never know the difference as the media they trust does not report it.

I canâ€™t vote for Kucinich as long as he keeps talking New Age nonsense.

With undying appreciation to the late, great Dr. Seuss:

But, as Yertle, the Turtle King, lifted his hand
And started to order and give the command,
That plain little turtle below in the stack,
That plain little turtle whose name was just Mack,
Decided he’d taken enough. And he had.
And that plain little lad got a bit mad.
And that plain little Mack did a plain little thing.
He burped!
And his burp shook the throne of the king!

And Yertle the Turtle, the king of the trees,
The king of the air and the birds and the bees,
The king of a house and a cow and a mule…
Well, that was the end of the Turtle King’s rule!
For Yertle, the King of all Sala-ma-Sond,
Fell off his high throne and fell Plunk! in the pond!

And to say the great Yertle, that Marvelous he,
Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see.
And the turtles, of course… all the turtles are free
As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.

OH MACK —- WE NEED YOU!

To kaye2:

I agree that the parallels between the administrations of Nixon and Bush43 are eerie. but the Bushies have learned from their history — they made sure they packed the SCOTUS with sycophants (not just conservative justices, as Nixon appointed) so they will be allowed to reign unchecked as long as they want to.

How a quarter of Americans continue to support this imperialist White House is beyond me.

These crooks in the WH are gonna stall for as long as they can. They are gonna wait it out till there next inside job terrorist attack can happen (sometime from July till Oct 08) and claim Martial Law, cancel the elections, use the military to control the riots.
Then everyone (that has been paying attention) will say, “Why couldn’t we have Impeached them when we had a chance?”

It’s too late…good luck, stock up on ammo and food.

The other Jake is a moron. Bush and his cronies keep thinking their above the law. Impeach them already.

He’s abused the law and broke the law enough!

During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the vice president’s role has evolved into more of an executive branch position, and is usually seen as an integral part of a president’s administration.

From Senate.gov——– The Senate itself has set up the VP to be able to opt out with ‘privilege’. The statement above allows the ‘option’ of picking and choosing which Branch he is in. Duddint seem like such a good idea now, does it?

Kucinich is like the nerdy kid in school who put his hand up and got all of the right answers. Heâ€™s no prize winner in the looks dept, he probably doesnâ€™t smell as good as Thompson, doesnâ€™t have broad shoulders like Romney and no one would want to have a beer in the bar with him like GWB. All he has is credible plans & ideas. This is a popularity contest, not something important. American voters donâ€™t deal well with substance. Itâ€™s harder to spin then good looks & a good voice. Check your tv listings for contentâ€¦ hard to find it. Look at your fast food restaurants for healthy eatingâ€¦ nope. Your politics are dumbed down to the equivalent of the Big Gulp & a Hungry Man tv dinner. Donâ€™t expect integrity, no one will vote for it.

Astute commentary on Kucinich and the true depth of our political culture (you think a wading pool is shallow?). It really IS stunning to experience (each and every day) the cultural divide that exists between those who seem transfixed (hypnotized?) by the cheap glitter of dime store baubles and those who thirst (are dying) for integrity and true wisdom (not it’s counterfeit facsimile). What chance does his country have of evolving to a higher place?

In regards to the illegal wiretapping, all of wingnuttia screeches “Why complain if you don’t have anything to hide?” So, my question for wingnuttia is, “Why are the President, VP, Harriet Miers, et al complaining so much if they’ve got nothing to hide?

Don’t worry. I don’t really expect a response because you haven’t got one.

Congress must start the impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and Gonzales. This would be the first trifecta impeachment in United States history, but it must be done ASAP.

By: W. Clements

W. Clements — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 14:50:08 +0000

Given the present administration and the newly conservative Supreme Court, I wonder, in the end, if Congress can actually get any real traction on this? It appears that they still have a bark (albeit, one that wouldn’t scare a toddler), but no real bite. Moreover, how hard have they really pushed?

veritas (#45)-

Yes, Kucinich, on a number of issues, is far ahead of the rest. Has been since the beginning. It’s sad (and somewhat pathetic) that he isn’t perceived as a credible candidate. Can a candidate have too much integrity, intelligence, and common sense for the masses? Why do we always get stuck with the baggage-toting, predictable, lackluster, mediocre candidates?

#42 Didnâ€™t the WH say that the president and vice prez were NOT part of the executive branch ?

Technically, they claimed they were not “agencies” in the executive. Well, that’s the most recent excuse.

#48 People like you are what is wrong with America, you are ignorant, spoiled, and know nothing about what this country is about. Nixon stepped down.

Comment by kasinca

Exactly!! But the difference is, Nixon actually had some remorse at the end and did care about this country, unlike the current regime, who would throw their own families under the bus and not even blink.
