Didn’t they shove Libby in front of a jury to put somebody behind bars? Wasn’t he innocent? Didn’t Plame work at the CIA headquarters?

he is not attacking Bush, Cheney or Libby. Rather, he is defending the Republic in precisely the manner that Mason, Madison and their contemporaries intended.

I was impressed with Bush’s statement when he commuted Libby’s sentence yesterday. Unfortunately, if Bush is Bush, he’ll now hide, and his advisors will hide. And for the next year and a half the democrats will whip this into an impeachment proceeding. Bush for some reason just won’t defend himself or his policies.

Reporter John Nichols and Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. need to get a room. My goodness, what a fawning, lickspittle, butt-kissing puff piece!

“This proves that jackson has absolutely NO knowledge of the law”

He is supposedly an attorney. Another example of “Affirmative Action” in action...but recognizing the volume of leftist swill to which most law students are exposed, perhaps he can’t help it;)

This proves that jackson has absolutely NO knowledge of the law... perhaps he is missing a functional brain stem.

I believe this is an inherited trait.

Yes, impeach Bush for acting within the constitutional guidelines of executive power.

What an idiot.

How so? By calling for consideration of the impeachment of the president for abusing the pardoning – and the related commutation of sentences -- privileges of his office.

“Slick pardoned how many people?”

How about in 1999 HILLARY CLINTON’S HUSBAND commuted the sentences of 16 members of the FALN Puerto Rican TERRORIST GROUP, responsible for about 120 BOMBINGS!!?? That’s enough for me!
(But of course, he never got Osama Bin Laden)

What doesn’t this young man understand about the word “pledge.”

He should check the dictionary. It means to BIND.

“I just don’t get it. Slick pardoned how many people? I don’t remember this much fuss.”

Are we sure we want to use up the pardon argument now, when Bush’s pardons are still 2 years away?
