comparison between the firing last fall of eight U.S. attorneys with the replacement of 93 U.S. attorneys when her husband became president in 1993.

Hillary often compares Edwards and Obama who lie like weasels, while she merely rearranges the feng shui of the truth!

This has never been about replacing US Attys, it has always been about replacing US Attys for failing to respond to political pressure.
Whether the whitehouse attempted to influence US Atty’s to pursue/not pursue cases for political gain.

The plot thickens.
Albert G’s lawyer taking the 5th.

“I have decided to follow by lawyer’s advice and respectfully invoke my constitutional right,” Monica Goodling, Gonzales’ counsel and White House liaison, said in a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sorry, I just don’t get any of this.  It is just like the whole Plame thing again—what exactly was the crime?. Why is this this news? Why is Abu Garab news?.  It started with Trent Lott: He said some innocuous words to a dying senile decagenarian about running for president before anyone was ever alive and dug the entire party in a hole.  I could not understand that offense either, but the entire conservative base then started to apologize for no reason at every occasion. 

The conservative base is like a tank of Sparkie’s dead beta fish that feed on each other and don’t deserve to live.  (may s.a.‘s poor fish rest in peace)  I don’t usually vote republican (or even less so dem) but the republicans have been such fucking pussies about everything they might as well appoint the VBF Clinton in charge and get it over with.

It is strange, Clinton could have sold rocket technology to China or raped someone and every Democrat would have supported him without question, but republicans sell out at the drop of a hat.

Woofie it’s about US Attorney’s that did not do their jobs that needed to be fired.  Of course that’s a completely legal thing to do.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.
10% of Americans pay 70% of the income tax.

By the way these US attorneys were failing to enforce the election laws.

Why are you for voter fraud?  Oh I now why because that’s your side that plays that game.

If you want to know what all the fuss is about, Kevin Drum summarizes it nicely here.

Bob Barr, former US Attorney under Reagan, had this to say:

what’s really unfortunate here, both from the White House standpoint, as well as from the more important standpoint of what’s best for the country, is the integrity of the Department of Justice is being used as a political football by the administration to prove who’s the toughest hombre in all this. It’s very unfortunate. And I’m not really sure that the administration has chosen the best line in the sand to draw here, so to speak.

Congress clearly has a right to inquire into the running of the Department of Justice, to inquire into the integrity of the process of hiring and firing U.S. attorneys, notwithstanding the fact that that that is technically a prerogative of the president. And rather than fight this, the administration really ought to be going out of its way to do what prior administrations have done, such as the Bush I administration and Reagan administrations, and that is take whatever steps are necessary to assure the American people that the integrity of our justice system has not been compromised.

What fuss? Who cares?

And rather than fight this, the administration really ought to be going out of its way to do what prior administrations have done, such as the Bush I administration and Reagan administrations, and that is take whatever steps are necessary to assure the American people that the integrity of our justice system has not been compromised.

Jump through this hoop! Now this one! Now this one! No! Not good enough. Now jump here! American people - pay attention! Start caring!

Rob’s email address never works, so I am placing this story in here fyi: The latest GOP Straw Poll shows an undeclared GOP candidate Fred Thompson has taken over the lead in a major way:

Fred Thompson 38.2%;
Giuliani 16.8%;
Gingrich 14.4%;
Romney at 10.9%.

Giuliani & Gingrich together only equal 31.2%

That is a pretty major change in the lead!

Bob Barr, former US Attorney under Reagan, had this to say…

Will,

The irony of you quoting Bob Barr in this affair is positively scintillating.  Mr. Barr was formerly a US Attorney in Atlanta, who was fired by Bill Clinton.  Barr was then elected to Congress where he was the first, the loudest, and the most persistently pestiferous voice calling for Clinton’s impeachment.

Hardly a mainstream conservative Republican, Barr is the sort of libertarian moralist and fringe gadfly that makes even as the more strident neo-cons uneasy.

The irony of you quoting Bob Barr in this affair is positively scintillating.

Wow. You actually noticed.  That’s why I quoted him.  You can hardly accuse him of having a leftist partisan agenda.

Let’s get rid of the Clinton connection.  Clinton got rid of all 93 attorneys just like Reagan, Herbert Walker Bush, and Walker Bush.  Their was nothing unusual or scandalous about it.

Hawk

Why would an aide plead the 5th? That means there is incriminating things to say. If there isn’t, the aide wouldn’t plead the 5th. Incriminating stuff is scandalous. Get it?

No, I don’t remember. An honest man, like Scooter Libby, tries his best to reconstruct coversations and timelines that weren’t that significant at the time, and he’s prosecuted for inconsistancies in his testimony.
The lying scumbag Clinton types merely look you in the eye and say, “I cannot recall” ,I don’t remember”, “I have no recollection of that.”
Scooter Libby was convicted because he’s not nearly as good a liar as Bill Clinton.

The first mistake that Libby made was trying to be helpful to the FBI.  Martha Stewart made the same mistake.  My suggestion to all is avoid talking to Federal Agents and if that’s not possible, have an attorney present during the conversation.

Odd… I always thought that a person invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination was under no compulsion to explain their motivation or actions to anyone.  Certainly that has been the liberal mantra since the 1950s and era of Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee.

I wonder if the ACLU has any attorneys willing to take on Ms. Goodling as a client.  Nah!  They’re all too busy defending child molesters and going after Christians.

That is delusional BS. The ACLU defends the KKK, the Christians, and everyone else. Its just not liked by all you closet constitution haters. Those are the rights they seek to defend.

You can’t take the fifth because you might perjur yourself.  It is a ridiculous legal argument. Why don’t we look at the amendment.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

When committing perjury you are not being a witness against yourself, you are lying under oath.  She should be forced to answer the subpoena or be put in jail for contempt of Congress. You also cannot refuse to testify at all by taking the fifth amendment.  You can only refuse to answer questions under which you would admit to a crime.

Yes Hawk, but the Scooter rule means that anything you say may be held against you unless you have a perfect memory.

It’s the logical outcome of the Fitzgerald Jihad.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.

Sparkie Arbuckle said, That is delusional BS. The ACLU defends the KKK, the Christians, and everyone else. Its just not liked by all you closet constitution haters. Those are the rights they seek to defend.

Give me a break. They go after Christmas displays in the “public square” while defending members of NAMBLA.

But let’s hear what the founder of ACLU, Roger Baldwin, believed -

I am for socialism, disarmament and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control by those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.

What was that about “constitution haters”?

How about another one from the founder of ACLU?

Do Steer away from making it look like a socialist enterprise. We want to get a lot of flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our forefathers wanted to make of the country and show that we are really the folks that stand by the spirit of our institutions.

It’s amazing how many people are fooled by them. ACLU aren’t even “closet constitution haters”. They’re quite explicit about it if you dig just a little.
