I'm all for shutting down the capitol and searching everybody's offices. Let's send in the drug sniffing dogs too.

Sounds good to me! But they should wiretap the phones and PCs while they're at it.

Even if the GOP can some how hold on to the House, Hastert has to go as Speaker.
To: AntiGuv
If we want to be sure that all things are equal we should demand that all fences around the capitol be removed and anyone caught sneaking onto the grounds must be caught and released.

We have been told by the "you don't have a right to drive crowd" that there is no expectation of privacy when driving on a public road. Well congress critters you should have no expectation of privacy when you are in a public building. You may think it is your office but it is owned by the legal citizens of the USA and if a judge sees fit to issue a search warrant then STHU.

Members of Congress are just 535 (of 2.7 million) Federal employees and no more deserving of respect that the average ATF agent. Any respect must be earned.

Funny how the same people who said the Congressional oversite of the public space that is the Oval Office during the Monica scandal was valid, not the invasion of Bubba's *private life* as he claimed are the very same who now decry a valid subpeona issued by the Judiciary because criminal activity is suspected on grounds the search breeches the separation of powers. Baloney.

Okay Johnnie...to be fair, we denounce polls when they show "bad" results...so we have to do what we normally do, ADD about 5 points that these polls usually subtract from "our side"...
LOL....so that would put it over 90%!!!

Yeah, Chet Edwards, my congressman, voted for the House version of the immigration bill, and kept his mouth shut about the ethics investigation. I can't vote for him cause he's a gun-grabber and a pro-abort, but I have to admit he's a very good politician. Guys like him are what keep the Rats from sinking. He's very pro-military, and you'll NEVER hear him bad-mouthing the troops.

That view is broadly bipartisan, this ABC News poll finds, ranging from 78 percent among Democrats to 94 percent of Republicans.
wow... I guess 22% of democRATS approve of congress being above the law.... doesn't surprise me... but I bet this would be reversed if it was a republicRAT that was in the cross-hairs of the Federal B.I.

To: oceanview
They march right into the line of fire over issues that have zero public support - like this one, and the Dubai ports fiasco - and take it on the chin for weeks on end before they finally get the message. Its effing amazing. A good friend of mine works on the Hill and the last party I saw him at a couple of months ago he defended Patrick Kennedy, the Dubai Ports deal, and then said illegal immigration and high gas prices would not be an issue in the coming election. What effing planet do these people live on? Mind you, my friend is a conservative Republican.

I remember a couple years ago when the head of the Alabama Supreme Court was ordered to remove the ten commandments from the court house. There was a poll at the time that something like 80% plus in the survey agreed that the Chief Justice of the court should be allowed to display the 10 commandments. That poll did not help him. He was removed from his office any way.
To: NormsRevenge
86%
well that means the GOP will screw us on this too
They just KNOW we'll support them in giving the evidence back to the crook.

Sensenbrenner is getting on my nerves on this issue.
That one-sided "hearing" that Sensenbrenner orchestrated reminded me more of the impeach-Bush "hearings" that Conyers (the Dem ranking member) conducted.
Cheap publicity stunts.
To: cripplecreek
There may be some trouble in getting a warrant even though there's lots of "probable cause".
