Yesterday, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) released a 52-page report “that for the first time alleges specific ways that several administration officials may have broken the law during the multiple firings of U.S. attorneys.” Today, the committee will vote on contempt charges for former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and chief of staff Josh Bolten.
Lt. Gen. Charles Jacoby, the commander at Fort Lewis in Washington state, is expected to decide today whether to go through with plans to hold memorial services for U.S. troops killed in Iraq once every month, instead of after each death. Military families and others have protested the proposal.
“A federal judge in California ruled Tuesday against the federal government’s attempts to stop investigations in five states of President Bush’s domestic spying program.” The judge ruled that “neither the Supremacy Clause nor the foreign affairs power of the government prevented a state from asking about phone records.”
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), who championed the confirmation John Roberts and Samuel Alito, plans to review the Supreme Court justices’ Senate testimony to “determine if their reversal of several long-standing opinions conflicts with promises they made to senators to win confirmation.”
“The Agriculture Department sent $1.1 billion in farm payments to more than 170,000 dead people over a seven-year period,” according to a new Government Accountability Office Report. Forty percent of those payments “went to those who had been dead more than three years.”
Since Congress imposed strict new documentation rules, Medicaid rolls declined in many states. But “most of the drop-off appears to be among people eligible for coverage - not illegal immigrants.” The “law that took effect July 1 requires states to obtain evidence of citizenship and nationality when determining whether people are eligible for Medicaid.”
“More than a quarter of the computer equipment at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington could not be found by investigators, government auditors reported. Three other agency facilities — in San Diego, Indianapolis and the agency’s headquarters — could not find up to 11 percent of their equipment.”
“In an unusually heated face-to-face meeting, a U.S. ambassador accused Iran on Tuesday of increasing arms shipments for militias who are fomenting violence in Iraq.” Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker said, “I would not describe this as a shouting match throughout, but we were real clear.”
Days after the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s chief spokesman said concerns about formaldehyde would not stop it from selling or donating surplus disaster trailers, the agency said Tuesday that it is reviewing the policy.”
And finally: On Monday, Rep. Gary Miller’s (R-CA) outfit received disapproving looks from his colleagues. According to Roll Call, Miller sported “a look better suited to a backyard cookout than the House chamber: a loose-fitting Hawaiian shirt, linen pants and slippers.” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), the presiding officer at the time, said, “The chair must remind Members that the proper standard of dress in the chamber is business attire, which includes both coat and tie for gentlemen.”

I hope many of you remember Representative Barbara Jordan D-Texas. On this day July 25, 1974, she spoke before the House Judiciary Committee about impeachment. If you want to hear a real public servant's defense of the Constitution, follow the link below:

July 25th, 2007 at 9:05 amI can just imagine the response at work if our IT guys lost 25% of their equipment. I mean, seriously, how do you "lose" desktops, servers, even monitors? The occasional mouse, sure. But 25% of your equipment? How do you even begin to do that. Unless, of course, it's falling off a truck somewhere.

And then tomorrow the decider will pardon them!

I certainly hope this gets some attention in the media. As much as the administration talks about supporting the troops...yet has not made any real efforts to provide the medical care for the wounded coming home.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:11 amI think it is about time that these 'agriculture payments' be audited and reviewed...
July 25th, 2007 at 9:11 amSounds bad to pay checks for 'dead people' taken from hardworking and still 'alive' people.
40% of payments went to dead people !!sounds bad...very bad.
This can never happen anywhere in any outside government entity.
The Agriculture Department was just subsidizing the farmers' transition into organic fertilizer. And they say the Bush Admin isn't Green.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:12 am"Today, the committee will vote on contempt charges for former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and chief of staff Josh Bolten."
Ok Democrats, this is it. If you blink on this one and don't bring contempt charges, your party will pretty much be toast. And, please bring Inherent Contempt charges. If you bring Contempt charges you will get into a protracted court battle with the Bush Administration, and we don't have time for that. Inherent Contempt is your only effective weapon. USE IT!
July 25th, 2007 at 9:14 am“A federal judge in California ruled Tuesday against the federal government’s attempts to stop investigations in five states of President Bush’s domestic spying program.â€
Wow, finally a judge that isn't owned by the Bush Administration. This is good news.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:16 amjtitor: Could you please post the link for the video on Prescott Bush and Herbert Walker's (father in law) connection to the third reich once again for us? It was a Youtube presentation entitled: John Buchanan From Martial Law 9-11 - Alex Jones.
Thanks a bunch! I watched it and it was great information and some incredible research and verification of facts which were presented. A "must see" for everyone if you're scratching your head wondering how the hell we got into this mess we're in and how these sick neocons are turned wrong into right, black into white, and down into up before our very eyes. Nothing new: They're copying Adolph Hitler, their "hero".
July 25th, 2007 at 9:20 amSo, as it turns out, KKKarl Rove is not a genius or even creative at all - they've taken it all from the playbook of the Third Reich almost verbatim. Let's get these embarrassing morons out of power and soon.

Arlen Specter (R-PA), who championed the confirmation John Roberts and Samuel Alito, plans to review the Supreme Court justices’ Senate testimony to “determine if their reversal of several long-standing opinions conflicts with promises they made to senators to win confirmation.â€
Of course they conflict with promises made to senators to win confirmation. Anyone who thought that these people were telling the truth in their confirmation hearings is stupid. If Bush nominated, they have to be artful liars. That is one of his main requirements for whomever he wants to have a job in government.
And, so what if he finds that they lied. What can we do about it? This is why the Democrats were trying to filibuster their nominations. They knew that Alito and Roberts were lying.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:21 amAbove: checks sent to 170,000 dead people. Who got the checks then?? Three guesses and the first two don't count! Let's play a game of "follow the money" here.

Yea, but let's see how long this lasts, either he gets 'cheneyed' or the SCOTA will overrule by a 5-4 vote.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:23 amOn another site, I just read an article regarding how scared the Repukes are becoming whose seats expire in 08. Evidently, it's a foregone conclusion that they will lose their seats. Let's do some research and get a list going of EVERY PUKE WHOSE SEAT IS DUE TO EXPIRE so we can launch a massive campaign to get qualified, honest individuals to run against them.

Sen. Spector could call for impeachment of Justices Roberts & Alito if he feels they "misrepresented" themsleves. ('Misrepresenting' is political-talk for what we Americans call 'lying'.)
American judges are liable to impeachment under the provision of the US Constitution — Article II, Section 4. Read it.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:24 amAnd then we will have to look into what constitutional remedies we may have for judges who do not represent the majority of the people. It's pure bunk that we have to be "stuck for life" with a judge who has ties to the Third Reich.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:24 am“In an unusually heated face-to-face meeting, a U.S. ambassador accused Iran on Tuesday of increasing arms shipments for militias who are fomenting violence in Iraq.â€
So, when is the government going to have a face-to-face meeting with Saudi Arabia to confront them on all the financial and militant people help that they are giving to the Sunnis, both of which are then used to kill Shiites and our military? To confront Iran and not Saudi Arabia is the height of hypocrisies.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:25 amToday, the committee will vote on contempt charges for former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and chief of staff Josh Bolten.
This is the turning point. If the Dems cave in on this one, it's over. This will send a clear message that King Chimpy is indeed above the rule of law.

I assume that the Supreme Court Justices are considered "civil Officers".
July 25th, 2007 at 9:32 amTripmaster: G'morning to you, too! I would agree that this is will be the "last hurrah" for the Dems and if they cave on this, game's over. As well, their "game" in Congress will be over, too. The people are only giving them low numbers because of their lack of spine in bringing these charlatans and frauds to justice in this administration. So, when the trolls gloat about the abysmally low numbers of theCongress, they don't realize that it's a double-edged sword for them. They are precisely the reason why the numbers are so low - it's because they're still being paid salaries and sitting in seats in Congress and the White House, that's why.
What do you think will occur? I'd like to think that this Congress has the morality and chutzpah to issue contempt charges against Miers (can you believe that the Chimp almost ramrodded that airhead onto the supreme court??? ewwwwww!). Bolton and Miers no longer need to be paid salaries because they've stopped working for the people long ago.....taxation without representation, I say.
Everyone had enough yet?? Tea, anyone??

Ya think! How the government could knowingly put people into these trailers in the first place is criminal. Selling them knowing that they are toxic is beyond criminal.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:34 amVeritas,
The key will really be if enough of the Republicans will get some spine, otherwise it won't really make a difference, as our amjority is so weak right now in both Houses.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:36 amFEMA is just trying to "preserve" something from their fiscal disaster. Too bad it's likely to be whoever lives in these trailers!
July 25th, 2007 at 9:38 amHere is the Democrat's current "to do" list:
1) Bring Inherent Contempt charges against Josh Bolton, Harriet Miers and Sara Taylor.
2) Impeach Gonzales.
3) Impeach Chaney.
4) Impeach Bush.
5) Take back our country.
Done!
July 25th, 2007 at 9:38 amBilbo: Reaching the conclusion that this government is working in opposition to the best interests of it's citizens is somewhat like the day we all realized that there, indeed, was no Santa Claus. However, sometimes the Truth hurts. Of course, they knew these trailers were loaded with formadehyde - who doesn't know that particleboard is full of it?
In maintaining a logical mindset that nothing we read or hear is based on Truth any longer and the sad, but accurate fact that this government is definitely working for us, this conclusion becomes a probability regarding the toxicity of the trailers issued to people in need, without a choice, and who were left with nothing.
What can you logically expect from a President who sat on his ass for 4 days before getting water to the people?? Expect it and no one will be surprised.
Everyone needs to reset their "logic clock" these days. When you view everything from the "unreality of the reality", then the fascist/nazi/neocon plans become totally transparent.

July 25th, 2007 at 9:39 amHe will not pardon them, because it gives them cause to subpoena him, for the basic assertion that he understands the context in which the actions he pardons ~ at face value appearing highly illegal ~ were performed.
Bush was screwed the minute he tried to extend executive privilege. I wonder if an adviser recommended it to him in a desperate act of conscience...
July 25th, 2007 at 9:41 amupside00: I hear you. And, you're right. If these Republicans who will lose their seats in 08 begin to have sudden epiphanies (loss of their gravy train?) then maybe things can work. Basically, I believe it's time to sweep ALL republicans from office and begin anew.

July 25th, 2007 at 9:42 amMorning, veritas. Yes, it's always amusing when the trolls natter on about the low approval rating of Congress, seemingly unable to understand that the reason for Congress' abysmally low approval rating is because they have failed to rein in the runaway executive branch and bring our brave sons and daughters home. When this is taken into account, the low approval rating of Congress can be seen for what it actually is...an indirect condemnation of Chimpy's reign, to go with the direct condemnation delivered by the president's low approval rating.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:43 amWithout the volume on yesterday because the mere sound of Mr. Richstag's voice is like nails on a blackboard to me, I observed the mannerisms and ideosyncrasies of the Shrub. Wow! He has become a mere cipher. And how he has aged!! He's beginning to look more like someone approaching 80 these days. I've never believed that he's intelligent enough to handle this job and has been puppeted by his dad's insiders from day one. I guess the fact that he's been used and has become a national embarrassment is wearing on him?? I've never seen a human being age so rapidly and as unbecomingly as he has in the past couple of years.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:45 amTripmaster: Articulately presented! The next time a dimwit troll starts to spew this drivel, we can let him have it right between the eyes....an indirect condemnation of Chimpy's reign. The direct condemnation is delivered by his horrendously low poll numbers.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:47 amTMM and Veritas,
It has been said a lot before and I didn't believe it to be so true then, but I now really do feel we are at a Constitutional Crisis; if we don't correct many things in this government, we are risk of losing it all, no matter who is in office. And I sense that we are at a historical tipping point, waiting to see which way it goes.

Comment by bilbobaggins — July 25, 2007 @ 9:14 am
Today's decision will probably determine the fate of our Republic for the near-term. That's how important this is.
Bushco WANTS Conyers to bring Criminal Contempy Charges. Bushco is BEGGING for Criminal Contempt Charges. They told the Washington Post last Friday:
Bush administration officials unveiled a bold new assertion of executive authority yesterday in the dispute over the firing of nine U.S. attorneys, saying that the Justice Department will never be allowed to pursue contempt charges initiated by Congress against White House officials once the president has invoked executive privilege.
In summary, what Buscho is saying here is that we will NO LONGER allow investigations into ANY of our crimes by the Justice Dept. when we claim Executive Authority. And they're claiming Executive Authority for EVERYTHING.
Only Inherent Contempt Charges stand a chance of saving the country. Don't give up. The Judiciary vote is today. Call John Conyers 1-202-225-5126.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:53 am"Yesterday, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) released a 52-page report 'that for the first time alleges specific ways that several administration officials may have broken the law during the multiple firings of U.S. attorneys.' "
A step in the right direction. Now Congress has to take the next step of the little dance the White House has been preparing for. Contempt of Congress for all those hiding behind the "executive privilege" skirts. WH will prevent any U.S. Attorney from pursuing the case. Next: impeachment by the House and acquittal by the Senate. OR -- Inherent Contempt for same, which will produce a stalemate between the two branches that will ultimately involve the third -- SCOTUS -- who will rule in favor of the president.
Either way, the president and veep will win a Pyrrhic victory. They will be allowed to limp to the end of their term, but the Republican party will suffer for their misdeeds for years -- as either of the processes will cause untold ugliness to come to light.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:54 ammissmolly: Great post! It appears that things are moving now. One would have to wonder why these egomaniacal fascists would prefer to tank the entire Republican party and base in order to perpetuate their personal agenda though? It's what's occurring and they don't seem to care about it at all. There is NO DOUBT that the Republican party is currently going down in flames while the Bush Cabal continues their charades.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:59 ammissmolly: And, at this rate, I don't believe that this country will see another Repuke as President for decades and decades to come.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:59 amGood morning, TPers,
I have to agree about the Bush aging comments. He looks like he hasn't slept in days, his gray hair is almost turning white and his eyes look like he's being medicated.
He mentioned AQ 95 times in his speech yesterday. 95 times!
He's still trying to beef up the Iraq / AQ theory, and it appears to be falling on deaf ears.
Maybe Bill Crisco is doing his speeches now. That would explain a lot!
July 25th, 2007 at 10:02 amDU is saying not to support Cindy's run against Pelosi...... becasue she is not a "real" democrate. How pathetic, do human values even exist anymore? All she wants is to get us out of this war but don't support her or mention her on DU because she is not part of our party, or does this have something to do with her slamming them in a letter not to long ago. If so than DU is a left version PL and no different than any other right wing site.
July 25th, 2007 at 10:04 amWhy Is Nancy Pelosi Helping Bush?
Wednesday 25th of July 2007
by Jay Randal
Democrats nationwide are beginning to wonder about Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi's, motivations for refusing to allow the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.
Clear-cut majority of Democrats, including Independents, want the President and VP to be held accountable for their crimes in Iraq and for their ineptitude in US.
In fact approximately 70% of Americans disapprove of Pres. George W. Bush's performance in office and at least 54% would like to see Cheney impeached now.
Since nobody wants VP Cheney to become President, if Bush was impeached first, therefore it requires that Dick be impeached before George by House and Senate.
So if Nancy Pelosi is too weak-willed to stand-up for impeachment, then she would be wise to step aside as Speaker of the House, so let another Democrat to replace her.
Sen. Harry Reid likewise must either stand-up, or bow out of his position, so someone like Sen. Russ Feingold can step forward to fill the void in Senate leadership.
(Jay Randal, political activist and writer in Georgia, USA.)
PS: Contact Rep. Pelosi & Sen. Reid in DC to stand-up or retire!
July 25th, 2007 at 10:05 amCorrection- Cannot use the DU site to support her...... samething....

July 25th, 2007 at 10:06 amWaiting to see Senator Specter vote,and what he will do.
July 25th, 2007 at 10:07 amHe always plays the camera well....but when it comes to voting, it is a different story...
To Veritas:
I marvel at how the executive branch hasn't produced even ONE John Dean yet. How is everybody being controlled? Blackmail? Bribery? Or has Darth Cheney set up a matrix and plugged all his serfs into a virtual reality? (yes, I know I am mixing up my movie metaphors.) This would explain why the House and Senate Republicans are blindly going along with the sinking ship, too.
Even more amazing is that the Republicans haven't produced a Barry Goldwater yet, either. For the Republicans to survive and reinvent the word "conservative" as a respectable term, they need someone from their ranks to stand up to the hijacking of their party by criminals.

No, 40% of the stuff that went to dead people went to people who had been dead for 3 or more years. But your right, if a private company did this they'd be up on some sort of fraud type charge thingy.

July 25th, 2007 at 10:34 am------- We were asking nicely? We were banging our fists on the table to emphasize our points? How, exactly, were we 'real clear'? We were mad because they were INCREASING their shipments??? wtf?
Did our ambassador say to them, "Now this is quite enough! Previous levels of these shipments was acceptable, but if you insist on increasing them, well, we'll have no choice but to come back here in 6 months and bang our fists on the table yet again, and I don't think either of us wants that." ????????????
Good Morning all, great post's....My local NWCN reported this morning 8 out of 10 are turning bush off and not even listening to his speeches, 6 out of 10 hate what this administration is doing to the country and the war in Iraq...

July 25th, 2007 at 10:44 amGod Help Us,
"Alito and Roberts are forever. They are the face of the new Court - ready to strike away the damage liberals have done to our country. Next up - overturning Roe!!!"
And here we thought you guys were against "activist" judges.
Your obviously a religious whacko that expects the court to enshrine your chosen myth into law.
July 25th, 2007 at 10:44 amthose FEMA trailers...

July 25th, 2007 at 10:45 amSpector's smoke and mirrors. Spector is an Alito and a Roberts man.
July 25th, 2007 at 10:45 amJust what does Spector plan to do if either justice changed his mind on how they would vote on an issue? Grandstanding just one more time.
In a speech yesterday, Bush moved the goal posts again. It seems now we must stay in Iraq because al Qaeda is there. Too bad Bush did not think that way in Afghanistan when he withdrew US forces and relied on local tribal fighters to go after al Qaeda and Bin Laden at Tora Bora.

don't get a stiffy just just, with you fantasies of a world filled with more unwanted and undesired children....even though Kennedy is a quasi conservative, I think, or at least hope, he has respect for precedent...
July 25th, 2007 at 12:00 pmTheswan: I think you're wrong. He appears to finally get it, or he did all-along and was waiting to fight this as he was politically isolated in the 109th Congress, surrounded by a bunch of nutcases. The problem is, we didn't get-rid of all of them in 2006, but the job's going to be finished shortly.
July 25th, 2007 at 12:04 pmThe House Judicial Commitee, voted to take the whole contempt matter to the full House without amendments.
July 25th, 2007 at 12:23 pmNote to Cindy Sheehan: This is what they guy whose office you were protesting in was working on. Pick a better target (moron).
July 25th, 2007 at 1:15 pmAnd here we thought you guys were against “activist†judges.

You mean like Ruth Ginsberg?
July 25th, 2007 at 5:17 pmConyers issues another report. Where's he going to put it? In the trash with the Constitution.
John "I took impeachment of the table" Conyers has no credibility: He's not fully asserting his oath; but has _mental reservations_ about his loyalties. That's a 5 USC 3331 issue.
