Contempt of Congress
Writing by Marq on Wednesday, 25 of July , 2007 at 5:45 pm
In what can only be seen as an unexpected show of testicular fortitude, the Democrats have done something! In a 22-17 vote the House Judiciary Committee voted to charge former White House hack Joshua Bilton, and almost Supreme Court Justice (she never had a chance) and questionable legal mind (oh and former White House Counsel) Harriet Miers for contempt of Congress for their failure to comply with subpoenas.
The vote was along party lines, no surprise the republicans have refused to stand up for constitutional democracy for over a decade now, so why start now.
The showdown will begin, because if you will recall, the Justice Department, headed by uber-discredited Alberto Gonzales, has stated that the Attorney General for the District of Columbia does not have to execute the charges laid out by Congress, which has basically destroyed the creditability of the Justice Department as a neutral arbiter of the law, and laid waste to the idea of checks and balances.
The question every American should be asking is, “If, as they claim they have nothing to hide, then why are they hiding SO MUCH?”
RIP USA
