    I said that just this afternoon, right here, that somehow Bush would suggest he has a right to extend executive privilege to anyone who works for him. Bush is forcing Congress hand to impeach him and the whole bunch.

      Bush is forcing Congress hand to impeach him and the whole bunch.

      Forcing? More like double-dare! He thinks he is untouchable. I don't have much faith in Congress, but I have faith in the American people. If Bush pokes his head out of the bunker, he will be showered with garbage. He will be hounded out of America. And when he gets to his Halliburton estate in Dubai, more lunatics will be there waiting!

      We can do this all on our own! Forget Congress, let's just throw the lot of them in the dumpster, and flush the rest down the toilet. Flush!

      Impeachment - it can't happen soon enough! Did you see that prick on t.v. this morning? He offered the victims of the bridge collapse his prayers. I think the prick needs to stop praying and start doing(more than making his warmongering benefactors lots of money).

      Then again, isn't MN a "Blue State"?

    So let me get this straight. This quote,

    "The decision throws a huge roadblock in the way of a seven-month-old congressional investigation and moves the confrontation between Congress and the White House closer to a constitutional showdown in the courts."

    means that this will be tied up in the courts long enough to be irrelevant? Nice plan...

      There is no statute of limitation on treason.
