Is the press an instrument of the Democrat party, or is the Democrat party an instrument of the press? Or are they co-equal partners pursuing the destruction of the U.S. as it exists? Does it matter? Actually, no. What matters is that we understand that neither is ever, ever to be believed.

How about this for a double standard: Nixon gets impeached for eavesdropping on the Democrats, but the Democrats get a free pass from just about everyone for this and a bunch of other spying incidents.

On December 3rd, 2007 at 11:42 pm, Papa Louie said:If all speach is protected under the constitution, then Scooter Libby has a good reason for appeal. He was convicted for what he said, not for what he did. Yes, he was convicted of lying, but at least it was original speach and not a recording.

Actually, if I am not mistaken, to lie means intentional deceit or at least a misrepresentation of facts as they should be known to any reasonable person. In the case of Scooter Libby, it seems to me personally like he was convicted for forgetting something he said, not blatantly perjuring himself like some people is did.

IMHO

He says he believes he had a First Amendment free speech case.

I wonder if old Jim would buy the same free speech argument if the Bush administration used it before congress to justify recording terrorist phone calls without a warrant. (Of course, I’ve always wondered how any US judge could have juristiction over an overseas terrorist in the first place. The constitution gives power over foreign affairs to the president, not the courts.)

If all speach is protected under the constitution, then Scooter Libby has a good reason for appeal. He was convicted for what he said, not for what he did. Yes, he was convicted of lying, but at least it was original speach and not a recording.

Boehner paid? Remember OJ? The civil courts can rule but they cannot enforce the penalties. There are no penal or criminal repercussions because it’s politics of the parties above the people as usual. ALL politicians must be held accountable but I fear this battle is already lost as well. I wish I could still believe in the Republican party but I am so far to the right of Republican that it is not funny. Unless we can begin holding ALL of them legally responsible … well I am just afraid that is never going to happen again.

I wonder what will happen with the DC gun ban. That one is a lot more important to many of us but the constitution? It all depends on how the judges feeeeeeeeeel.

Partisan Politics as usual. Nothing to see here!

Indeed.

So when will he be jailed for the illegal tapings?

How about a congressional ethics committee investigation?

Nevermind. That’s only for Republicans. Move along. Democrats don’t have any ethics, it doesn’t apply.

A sad state of affairs when the civil consequences take priority over the criminal offenses being ignored by these politicians.

Too bad Boehner can’t collect interest considering how little a dollar is worth today compared to 1998.
