I think so. Rove & Co. brought to trial AFTER Bush leaves office with no hope of a presidential pardon. Oh my !!!!!

It has gotten to be a very bad, not to mention SCAREY day on this earth when a Democratic Nation votes people into office that will not listen to the majority of the will of the people. To me this is no longer a Democracy, it is a nation with people in power who are dictators. Very scarey indeed and sad for all of us. Americans used to be respected and welcomed abroad, now it is not safe for Americans to go overseas. Our money is losing it's value, if they cannot get us one way, maybe going bankrupt for our country will be the other way. Just not good. Our politicians will not listen to the voice of the people anymore on aliens or war or anything and our poor grandchildren will still be in debt for what? Fighting a war where we are not wanted, a war that is going on because these people are in a civil and religious war that we should not have entered into to begin with and now can't get out of. Yep, Scarey is the truth of it all.

Republicans have no room to complain about spending money on investigating the Executive Branch. However, I do think Congress should focus on positive legislation. Democrats don't have to sink to the depths the Republicans did during the Clinton administration.

and? The judiciary committee voted. That and two bucks will get you on the subway.
The entire congress would have to pass it, and that isn't going to happen. Even if it did, there would still be YEARS of court cases, as the Justice Dept feels the President had executive privilege. The Supreme Court would probably have to get involved and that will take quite sometime.
I'd hold off on any celebrating for now. Sorry to disappoint you as this was probably the highlight of your little liberal day!
And, to enter your wacky world, lets say they did succeed. In addition to spending millions of dollars, what exactly do you think will happen? Its contempt of congress, not homicide. Thats like contempt of court. The last person convicted of contempt of congress was EPA official Rita Lavelle and the prison term was a mere 6 months. Hardly anything to seek a pardon over or go jumping for joy.
The criminal offense of "contempt of Congress" sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000.[1]

Although I'd like nothing better than to let the law take care of people who (yet to be determined) broke the law, I prefer avoiding huge loss of time and energy on things that can be pushed under the rug or run out of the house, without much effort.
We have more important things to do than go after those baddies, who probably have covered their behinds with kevlar, anyway.

i would not call it a "great" step--yet definately a favorable one. and you will observe--there is no objection on the Democrat's section to reauthorizing FISA--it somewhat is computerized, besides. seem previous the rhetoric: >FISA grants for exclusive oversight of wiretaps, etc. in circumstances the place national risk-free practices is in contact. they undertaking warrents orreview circumstances the place the government has to act straight away and would not have time to get a warrent. it somewhat isn't any longer what Bush is annoying. he needs amnesty for individuals who've broken the regulation. That has no longer something to do with 'national risk-free practices"--its approximately protectig his co-conspirators. And himself.

You're talking about a Congress who hasn't succeeded in a single investigation.
Tell me, do you support the liberal War on America? Hasn't occurred to you that all of these investigations are simply because the White House is Republican?
Carl Rove has not committed a Crime.
Neither did Scooter Libby.
Neither did Alberto Gonzales.
Neither did General Petreus.
Neither did the oil corporations.

I love it!!!
And then there is Valerie-gate that they still have to contend with...
These pranksters have created more scandals than they can reasonably respond to with statements like "I don't recall at this time."

Sure, why not, let's waste more of my tax money on meaningless political posturing.
I'd LOVE to get a contempt of congress citation...I have nothing BUT contempt for the know-nothing, do-nothing body.
