White House won't turn over subpoenaed papers

[AndyA]

It's Watergate all over again, folks. Bush is claiming Executive Privilege. Harriet Meiers and Sara Taylor also will not be testifying.

I only hope the outcome is the same: Bush leaves office early in disgrace. And this time, I hope Congress has the guts to indict the SOB. But I'm afraid the Congress of 2007 is far weaker than the Congress of 1974... :(

3. After yesterday's unbelievably partisan decisions by the Supreme Court

I do not think that there is any doubt of how this struggle will end if it goes to the Supremes. Yesterday was another crash of for the USA.

I Saw Constitutional Scholar Jonathan Turley On Countdown Last Night....


He presented an interesting possibility. If the Democrats base their case for the records on possible criminal activity (illegal warrantless surveillance ordered by Bush)it could open the door to impeachment. So, Bush could be opening the door to possible impeachment or criminal charges after he leaves office by fighting the subpoena. Could get very interesting. I'm just not sure the Democrats Congressional leadership is smart enough or courageous enough to go down that road.

8. Impeachment doesn't have to be 'based' on ANYTHING

The pukes 'based' it on a blowjob. Not open treason which is going on here...A FUCKING BLOWJOB! It is a purely political act. It's a vote in the House. All this bullshit about building a case...THE FUCKING CASE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE'S EYES! The only thing missing is someone with a sack to call a vote. No more hearings. No more polls. No more bullshit. JUST FUCKING DO IT ALREADY!
