2. "principle"

I've had threads locked here just for asking what the principles of the current Democratic Party are.

Good luck seeking action based on principle in DC.

[midnight]

3. Why can't Mr.House lead the way?

[emlev]

4. Let's buy * and Cheney a world tour as a departing gift n/t

[DRex]

6. Good idea.

If no one in Washington has the balls to hold these, the worst kind of criminals, to account, then maybe someone elsewhere will. Honestly, is this what it has come to? You can break the most sacred of human laws and get off the hook without so much as a trial, or a serious investigation?

If they really get to retire to their mansions and their millions without any justice, then the constitution isn't worth very much at all to us anymore.

Shame.

8. If we are not a nation of laws..

.. we are a nation of thugs and criminals.

And it doesn't matter who's in charge.

[DRex]

9. Bingo.

And as much as this is a time for celebration, and it is, if we do not hold Obama's feet to the fire over this, then we have learned nothing from this horrific eight year episode.

[L. Coyote]

5. Great to know we can break the laws if we are not blatant! That was a DUFUS statement!

Hello Barack!! It does not matter how blatant violations of the law are! I thought you went to law school!

[Piewhacket]

7. Agree. Start tomorrow.

[bjobotts]

10. Turley is excellent as usual. Makes it clear that the law cannot be ignored

[bjobotts]

11. Pelosi and Conyers now saying they want to investigate indicates that

[bjobotts]

12. these two think they can gum it to death and run it in circles for years till we forget

[bjobotts]

13. What happened to "It will interfere with Policy Making?" or "We will investgate after

[bjobotts]

14. all the evidence has already convicted him...so far, what crime?"

[bjobotts]

15. Only cowards refuse to stand up and fight until it is porven they will win beforehand.

[Hubert Flottz]

18. what CHANGE?

So far it looks like we're in for more of the same old shit.

Jail for the poor, unlimited forgivness for the rich. FUCK That System...same old shit.

[tomp]

19. obama has already embraced powell.

that was the signal that he does not intend to go after the bush maladministration. so much for the constitutional law, "change" guy. just more slick politics.

[tomp]

20. it's amazing to me that everything but war crimes....

...has dropped off the media's radar. as if that was bush's only crime.
