Buzzflash: The White House Throws a "Hail Mary Obstruction of Justice Pass"
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

Well, the Busheviks stole the presidency, and have survived through an endless Iraq War with an ever-changing mission, so no one has ever accused them of being timid. While the Democrats worry if their trousers are creased or if their slip is showing, the Busheviks are punching them in the face.

No matter how many times the Busheviks gouge out the eyes of the Dems and kick them in the groin, the refs keeping finding some excuse to keep from throwing a penalty marker down. That’s because the Republican effort to control the judiciary, which began in full force with Reagan, is finally reaping its full benefits in protecting GOP wrongdoing.

The Busheviks, in large part, control the federal courts in most districts, as well as the Supreme Court. Through the Department of Justice – as we have painfully learned – they also control a largely partisan group of U.S. Attorneys.

In fact, the federal justice system in the United States has, in general, become an extension of the Republican Party.

That is why the Busheviks dropped the bombshell Friday, through "anonymous sources," that if Congress issues contempt charges against individuals invoking executive privilege (in order to protect Bush and Cheney -- and Rove), then Bush would probably prohibit the Department of Justice from having the Washington D.C. U.S. Attorney pursue the charges.

1. Granted -- however -- should we have a 2008 election and Dem win . . . then we get . ..
all DOJ personnel -- all new AGs -- and can we then pursue these criminals?

Hastert is supposedly taking envelopes of drug money -- !!!

Just think what else is going on in that administration --

I mean, the general insanity can't even be contained anymore -- !!!!

Though the MSM seem to want to forget the nervous breakdown re Cheney and then Bush claiming to not be part of the Executive Branch!!!

Have we seen anyone -- even kiddingly -- ask any of them what part of government they think they are or aren't part of this week?

3. Well, that is if they don't steal the election.
And who do they use to steal the election? The Judicial System.

:(

4. bush has nothing to say about it if they use the inherent contempt charge.
there is not way other than calling out the US> Marshalls and locking up the Sgt at Arms could they stop the congress from serving the subponea and picking the culprits (and that's what they are). up.

5. That's why so many of us have been screaming for inherent contempt.
Going through the DC Attorney isn't going to accomplish anything. Bush will just show us the middle finger yet again.
