12. I Think It's A Mistake
Yes, Even Inherent Contempt. This is why I've been chanting "only impeachment" for so long.

At best this is another procedural dead end. They've really got no problem letting Harriet or Fredo sit a cell (ask Judy Miller) -- in fact, that's what figureheads are for. It would have to be an old white guy -- like Scooter -- to get them to risk anything. But still, the pardon pen is properly poised.

But that's not the real problem. I think they may well be looking for any opportunity to "BushvGore" their "Unitary" delusions into "reality." And any issue will do. That's why they've been so "inexplicably" confrontive. They want something to trot up to the New Felonious Five for an "Enabling Decision."

They're not the least bit interested in "constitutional niceties." They believe them to be as "quaint" as torture bans.

They should be treated as the "fugitive" war criminals that they are. Poking them with legal sticks -- based on laws they scoff at -- is not a recipe for successful return to constitutional law.

Once again, the DC Dems are showing up with a knife to a gunfight.
