If Bush is so convinced that there was no wrongdoing re: the federal attys. that were fired, then why is he?

Question

issuing orders to former aides not to testify in front of Congress?

There is absolutely no way that anything connected with these firings should be classified top secret, or that the release of such information would endanger the country. The President answers to the people of this country. So when the people of this country - through their representation in Congress - demand information that does not jeopardize national security, how dare he think he does not have to provide it?

And how dare Sara Taylor claim she took an oath to protect the President?????

She took an oath to protect the Constitution, not that dumbass George Bush.

John K: Rightfully? How so?

tim t: Wrong. I do not answer to the police. The President answers to me, though.

nature lover: What "happened to" Libby? Who forced him to lie under oath?

Answer 1

I would LOVE to hear his answer to that question. Of course, he'll hide behind the "skirt" of executive privilege on that as well...

Answer 2

purely through fact you happen to not agree along with his regulations infrequently makes it criminal and easily does not warrant firing squad. His watch has experienced some complicated situations - e.g. 9/eleven and the hurricanes. All issues seen, the economic device has maintained a rather good state. you're making it sound like Bush is a few form of dictatorial facist, which of direction he's not. happen on election day and vote on the different hand in case you do not purely like the way issues are going. greater suitable yet, in case you're able to do greater suitable, run your self. Oh and by making use of ways, no count who's elected, instruct a hint of appreciate...and it will possibly not harm in case you bathe sometimes.

Answer 3

The bottom line is Bush can fire those people at any time for any reason and does not have to tell anyone why. Period. Let it go. You can gripe about this till the day he leaves office and it will get you NOTHING. I griped about Clinton doing this or that and it got me NOTHING. Let it go. We might as well just chase our respective black helicopters. It goes no where. Your time and mine will be better spent listening to what the politicians running for office are saying and talking about that, listening to what people on the right AND the left are saying about what the politicians are saying and then trying to form our own conclusions.

What is more important to you? Why some lawyer who has more money than us got fired or whether the next president is going to push for universal health care, address the immigration problem, deal with Al-Qaeda in a way that establishes democracy in the middle east or not, contain the nuclear threat in N. Korea, do something to address our dependance on foreign oil, grow our economy, lower our taxes (You do pay too much in taxes, don't you?), on and on and on. In the whole scheme of things, the lawyer thing is a dead end. He could fire them any time for any reason. Period.

By the way, neither Bush nor Clinton is a dumbass. We may disagree with their politics but they are very smart to get elected and get re-elected. Bush has degrees from Yale and Harvard. I wonder if either of us could even pass the admissions requirements. In addition, he is (was) a fighter jet pilot. Last time I looked, only the best of the best were able to get those wings. We need to be careful calling these people dumb. I believe the only reason people call somebody stupid is so they no longer have to debate them in the arena of ideas. You are not going to change my opinion of Bush by calling him dumb. You might, however, change my opinion of him if you will debate him on his policies of why we are in Iraq, federal taxes, the budget, education, immigration.

I'm just so sick and tired of partisian politics. This country is so polarized right now that it's the 20% of the people in the middle deciding our elections for us. The rest are drinking koolaid on the right or the left. Are you a koolaid drinker or a thinker?

Answer 4

He has allot to hide and his claim of no wrongdoing is just another misinformation.






If you are unaware of the Constitution, you will make claims like the answer below mine that "executive privilege" is written into it. There is nothing in the Constitution about executive privilege.

Answer 5

What exactly is the problem the Dems are having with Bush firing these Attorneys? When Clinton fired every last Federal Attorney when he took office, nobody even blinked. Here Bush gets rid of a few of them after 6 years in office and the lynch mob is out in full cry. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Answer 6

If I had one word to choose to adequately describe your question, it would be "ignorant." If you know we have a Constitution, you should know that it has a separation of powers portion. If you have been paying attention to main stream media, talk radio, legal experts, you would know that the President was within his rights to dismiss attorneys. He does not even need a reason.
The left wing liberal loonies in Congress are wasting time doing investigations that serve only to attack the President. You should know by now that President Clinton fired all of the US attorneys when he took office. Not a word was said about it. Everyone in Congress understood that it was legal. There is nothing the House can dig up that would make the firings illegal. Repeat: nothing. I say again: nothing.

Answer 7

I know it's a tough concept to grasp, but the three branches of government are co-equal. Congress has no more right to subpoena executive appointees over staffing matters than, say, Bush's Justice Department would have to haul in Nancy Pelosi's employees and put them under oath regarding their own internal hirings and firings.

Answer 8

I dont know if you are aware of the constitution, but that is their right.

Because democrats are on a conservative witch hunt, have been ever since the 06 election when their heads swelled with pride and rage.

If Bush who graduated from Yale and has served 2 terms as president, what does that make you who cant even get his facts straight?

Answer 9

Bush is SCARED!

Wow! I can just picture him hitting the bottle night after night wondering when justice will catch up with him!

Poor baby must be wetting the bed every night!

By the way Washington never invoked executive privelege as it is NOT in the constitution and only a relatively new concept.

Answer 10

Restoring honor and integrity to the White House . . .
