Why do desperate GOPers refer to William Jefferson's unconstitutional fridge raid?

Question

Even Hastert said the FBI was wrong. Jefferson did nothing wrong, and he certainly didnt have sex with a prostitute (Vitters) or diddle underage Capitol Hill paiges (Foley), or snort meth off of a male hookers testes (Haggart), OR try to pick up a stranger man in a publica bathroom (Craig).

Any questions?


btw, here's the link to unconstitutional Jefferson raid.

Answer 1

They're trying to use the "everybody's doing it" defense of their own corrupt congress members.
It doesn't work with teenagers, why should congress be any different?

Answer 2

What was "unconstitutional" about it?

There was a legitimate investigation, a legitimate request and issuance of a search warrant, looking for specific items and information, and it was conducted in a legal manner. And it is only the executive branch with federal police agency powers.

I fail to see where this violates any constitutional separation. Nor am I satisfied with the cryptic allegation that it is, with no details to show how it does so exactly.

And Jefferson is charged with influence peddling - supporting legislation or earmarking in exchange for cash. Specifically $100K, of which the $90K in his freezer was part of. He's been indicted on 16 charges of bribery and corruption - http://www.beyonddelay.org/node/285

Also, Haggard was a preacher, not a Republican, and Foley never engaged in sex with a page, unlike Democrat Jerry Studds who took a 17 y.o. male page to Europe so he could have sex with him.
