What do we do when Bush fires Fitzgerald?

[mistertrickster]

Fitzgerald works for the Justice Department. His boss is Bush butt-kiss Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzales.

Bush can fire Fitzgerald just like Nixon fired Archibald Cox (and who carried out the sentence? none other than right-wing POS Robert Bork).

So . . . what do we on the left do when Team Bush whacks the prosecutor?

I say, million man march on Washington and shut the place down, peacefully of course.

[Patchuli]

1. I agree

and so should anyone who values their freedom...!

:kick:

[madrchsod]

2. he won`t fire fitz

nixon gained nothing by firing him....

[Fovea]

3. Not so sure about peacefully

because they will fire on us.

Once they turn on the microwave weapons, I think peaceful will go by the wayside.

[postulater]

20. Microwave weapons?

Tell me more!

[Geoff R. Casavant]

25. Nasty stuff

low level microwaves can be beamed at a crowd -- everybody gets hot real quick.

[postulater]

32. thanks, I'll take a look

[stepnw1f]

4. He Can't Fire Fitz

nope

[mistertrickster]

9. Can't? or doesn't dare to? Because there's no legal reason . . . oops

see post below--apparently he does have legal protection, my bad.

[ObaMania]

5. What makes you think * is going to fire him?

Look, the cabal are doing some pretty blatant shit, and the papers would have a field day with this scenario.

[longship]

6. Storm the Bastille.

Take to the streets and don't stop until the bastards are gone.

[jwirr]

7. I told my sister I would be out to see her the next march.

However, do you want to know the truth? I am not sure I have the courage at 64 years old to join you. I would try though.

[Connie_Corleone]

8. From what I read, Bush can't fire Fitzgerald.

[mistertrickster]

11. Got a link for that info? Cause I just read Ray McGovern's article at

truthout saying that Bush could and probably would.

[ToolTex]

10. Coupled with a nationwide strike, phone blitz and cyber blitz on the WH

and Justice Dept.

Just shut everything down until they retract.

[mistertrickster]

13. Yup. Let's see the MSM ignore THAT. nt

[niallmac]

12. This Bush firing Fitz thread is coming up a lot lately.

Bush can't fire Fitz

[ToolTex]

14. You say can't. He can do anything he tries. Then we will see who

supports him. Military, Court, Congress, People?

[bhuddaboy]

17. He Creates His Own Reality

How's that working out for him these days? Anyone?

[sendero]

30. And I'm studying it judiciously, as I will..

... and I'm finding that this administration couldn't bake a real cake, must less any reality worth having :)

[tatertop]

16. Very interesting

[mistertrickster]

19. WOW! That's all news to me, NMac! Very interesting.

That makes it look iron-clad.

The thing is, there're laws against wars of aggression too--and that didn't stop W. There's a law that only Congress can send troops to war. There're laws against election fraud and, well, what do you think?

Since when does law stop this administration from doing what it wants to?

[niallmac]

24. I'll get back with you but I need 20-30 minutes to eat my dinner...

sorry, I got distracted by news of Brownies amazing email in the midst of the Katrina crisis.
Otherwise, I hope Fitz makes it.

[hvn_nbr_2]

27. Wow, can you get across town, eat at an appropriate restaurant...

to your station in life, and get back in 20-30 minutes? :toast:

[Catchawave]

15. I think there's a Plan B....

As discussed on another thread if there are no indictments, Plame files a civil suit, a'la Paula Jones did to Clinton!

[kentuck]

18. I was thinking of posting this also...

My bet is that Bush is seriously considering this option at this time. He is a gambler and he would take his chances that he could explain it to enough of his supporters that he would not lose a lot if he did fire the Prosecutor. He may do just that. I would not be surprised.

[mistertrickster]

21. I agree. The Bush-bots can rationalize anything. And so far, he's

been able to brazen everything out, thanks to the geldings in the press corps . . .

[Kingofalldems]

22. Did Nixon actually fire Cox?

Not directly--I believe he ordered the Solicitor General, Robert Bork to fire him. I do not know whether that is operative in this case.

[ToolTex]

23. If I remember right, the Atty General, Mitchel, was in jail, so Nixon

demanded that the Deputy (Acting AG) fire him, But the Dep AG Richardson said no and resigned, so Nixon appointed Gray, who also said no and resigned, then Nixon Appointed Bork to be Acting AG, and Bork fired Cox. I may have Richardson and Gray reversed.

28. Thanks

I didn't realize today was the 32nd anniversary of the Saturday Night Massacre.

[WinkyDink]

31. Maybe Bush is ready to leave.

He's gotta be tired of the scene by now. I think he'd be happy to split, go back to Texas, take a swig or three, cut some brush, and ride his bike.
I mean, Georgie must be thinking, "Who needs this sh**?!"
