Contempt of Congress... what a joke. Bush should just pardon anyone accused of this “crime.”
Really. Well, they’ll lose that fight in court. Next.
Tough.
Bush wages war on international terrorists while the Democrats wage war on him. A disconnect with reality has always been a liberal failing, but this one is going to cause a catastrophe on American soil.
They - the Dims either do not even know or understand the Constitution, or know they are lying. They can call anything they want “out of order”; simply naming something with that attribute does not make it so in reality, when the crux of the matter is not what do they want to do, but what does the Constitution give them the right to do.
Can the president simply order his justice department to place subpoenas on the private correspondence and conversations of representatives of Congress, between themselves and their staffs and advisers, just because he wants to know the private deliberations that members of Congress went through, to reach some decision they made; a decision that was legally theirs to make? No.
And neither can the Congress simply go on a fishing expedition to pry into the President’s staff on a matter that the President has the power to make without consulting Congress - firing United States Deputy Attorneys General. Constitutionally the President is not even required to show cause for their firing.
On this same Constitutional basis, and in order to hide the political motivations behind why he wanted some Deputy Attorneys General fired when he gained the White House, BJ Clinton, in a historically unprecedented move, simply fired them all.
The Dims have no Constitutional grounds for their actions, but they are well aware that the LameStreamMedia and most of the public do not know that; so the appearance of scandal is worth the effort in their constant political warfare.
Harriet Miers has “Contempt of Congress”? What the Hell...most American citizens have contempt of Congress. Why should Miers be any different?
How different would it be written by the MSM if it was a Republican committee going after a Democratic President.
I would anticipate it would read along these lines: On a party-line vote, arch-conservative Committee Chairman ABC, continued his activities to challenge the long-term presidential privilege. Leading scholars [i.e., whoever supports the Democratic position]blasted the vote as undermining the Constitutional separation of powers.
Wonder if she stole her seat, too?
I wonder what Bill would have done.
Pound Sand, you morons!
