Reply #50: They don't have the power to do what?

Yes, politics as usual is something if you like what gets passed. However, there is no excuse for not attempting to defend the constitution. Hell, they seldom hold any kind of news conference to explain crimes that have transpired. And they play ball on the field of false framing. You may be satisfied. But for example, Clinton pretending Matthews question about Libby wasn't a real question says it all about what's wrong and to top it off, not answering it. Does that mean she has no problem with elected officials and their staffs acting outside or above the law? How is someone who realizes what is going on supposed to interpret that?
