Teller Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I don't understand the problem in this case. Everybody knows our system is based on the three branches of the federal government checking/balancing each other. In this case, the executive branch (law enforcement) decided it needed to check into alleged wrongdoing by Jefferson (legislative). It enlisted the judicial branch in the form of a search warrant, thereby having said judicial branch check into its own actions before proceeding. What's the problem? Looks to me like Congress doesn't want its "right" to be corrupt infringed upon. If that's the case, then they shouldn't be able to investigate alleged wrongdoing by the president either. And for that matter, the Supreme Court shouldn't be allowed to strike down unconstitutional laws. Please. This is exactly how our system is SUPPOSED to work. I'll be anxious to see this story though, once CNN puts it up. Thanks visionary. I hope I wasn't too far off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Not gonna happen. It's time for Congress to BOHICA! If DoJ shuts down the investigation, we know that all 3 branches are beyond corrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Alberto Gonzalez is not going to resign That'd be too good to be true...Wait, could Bush have someone else whose worse? Well, I don't know if 2-3 years is enough time to do enough damage though I guess he/she could set up things to make the next AG even worse.

jpillian Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Ah, it's all the result of backroom politics, methinks. I'd imagine that the crooks in Washington know who's got the skeletons in their closet. And when one side starts to get "outted", the other side retaliates. The most notorious GOP crooks have been under investigation for a while; I'm not surprised that the Democrats will start taking some hits as well.

Joe Sick Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Maybe this Jefferson guy has the goods on a bunch of other people. Are they trying to cover for Hastert, and others? I wouldn't mind seeing Abu Gonzales resign, though. He's been in over his head for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teller Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 umm wasn't the President (executive branch) the one that ordered the files sealed? Yes. Because of all the corrupt congressmen ****ing about the investigation. They want to shoot down this tactic, which is fully legal, to keep their own scams going. I completely disagree with the files being sealed. But the president is simply taking steps to ensure that the evidence collected was obtained legally and used in a lawful manner.
