Prosecuting Arlen Specter, John Cornyn: Corruption & Graft.

[shraby]

A look at the hold Specter and Cornyn put on the confirmation of Eric Holder for AG. They just might be subject to criminal charges for trying to get Holder to say he won't prosecute the Bushies for torture in order to secure his nomination.

1. Isn't this an Obstruction of Justice?

I can't believe what I'm reading!
How dare these bastards!
I say, indict them immediately!

2. Prosecute Arlen "Magic Bullet" Specter? HA!

Man knows where too many bodies are buried and frankly he's untouchable. We're not going to be rid of Specter until he either decides to retire or dies.

3. If the (Obama) DOJ starts sniffing around, they'll STFU quick.

However, the easiest way to shut them down would be to frame their opposition as an obstruction of justice in LTTEs and media soundbites - assuming anyone can get the pulpit to do so.
