Wayne and Gregor Samsa, re Electoral College:

As I understand it the EC is an extraordinarily ironic institution and if there’s any serious discussion of electoral reform in the next administration then the EC should be considered for abolition–it isn’t just campaign financing that corrupts the political system.

Bush is guilty of many crimes, including crimes of treason, and crimes against humanity. Why is he still president? The failure to impeach Bush years ago will bring decades of shame upon our country.

QUALAR Says:

After his tenure in Washington, this former Texas judge wouldn’t qualify to judge a chili cook-off. He’s a disgraceful example of how politics can corrupt the judicial system.

My bet Gonzo is holding out for that cushy job asJustice of the Peace in Crawford, TX.

Wants to work all those spousal beatings, DUI’s and bestiality cases.

And going back to the topic of the thread, someone needs to remind Ace Lawyer Gonzalez that “I was just following orders” has not been a defence since the Nuremberg trials.

Because war criminals is what this pathetic lot are.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Oh, that’s right, it’s one of those things that are only for the little people, like the law and other pesky little things…

Shrub’s Pardon Attorney ia very busy at the moment. Gonzo. Cheney, Rumsfeld, maybe Libby?

The ink on the presidential pardons will not be dry by the time Obama is sworn in.

Wayne A. Schneider Says: Since Electors are often not bound by any law to follow what the people in their districts do, it literally means nothing.

Exactly. They are supposed to be there to “correct” a wrong vote; you know, just in case the people don’t know what they’re doing.

I not only find this a concept insulting, but absolutely ineffectual, as the Richard “I am not a crook” Nixon, and George “is our children learning” Bush presidencies have clearly demonstrated, to name only two.

I think you’re right, Gregor. I forgot about the reason for that inane Electoral College. (It’s inane if you’re going to lie to people and tell them that their vote actually means something. Since Electors are often not bound by any law to follow what the people in their districts do, it literally means nothing.)

With a real possibility of jail time in his future, is Al going to drop a dime on Bush and Cheney or is this sudden attack of truth part of his play for a pardon?

We’ve known all along that Bush was in the blood up to his armpits–this is just another confirmation of Dubya’s criminality and of Pelosi’s abrogation of her Constitutional responsibilities.

Wayne A. Schneider Says: the Framers [...] probably just assumed that we wouldn’t be so dumb as to elect an insane person president

Actually, they wanted democracy ma non troppo: They were afraid of direct democracy (they called it “mob rule”), which is the reason they instituted the Electoral College.

So I guess they did assume people would be so dumb so as to elect the wrong person, and thought the Electoral College would be a safeguard. So much for that check and balance.

For what it’s worth Wikipedia reports no job offers since leaving office last year, only some speaking engagements , a book deal or the spillage of beans may be much more lucrative.
and it might keep the lying little f@@k out of prison for a while
