		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m coming in on this late, and because I’m supposedly working I haven’t read all the postings here, but I do have a theory to propose: Here where I work (exhibit design company), we back up everything on the server every evening. That is, in case our server crashes, we have all the work everybody’s been doing saved on DVDs. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Surely the RNC has the same policy? Any company or organization with a view to the long term and an ounce of understanding about computers and their exigencies, does this kind of backup. The RNC must be thinking longterm, it’s the nature of the beast. W will be gone eventually, and they’re supporting a whole lotta other repubs across the country. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only would they want to back up their work, so to speak, they’d want to cover their collective asses. If Leahy, etc., go after the RNC (which is their obvious next step), this is a question that needs asking.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;At TalkLeft, Last Night in Little Rock says that Congress - Leahy, specifically, but I’d bet that Waxman would go along - should issue a subpoena duces tecum for the servers, like today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sorry, I just can’t get the link to work.  Just go to the pressrelease link and scroll all the way down to read the letter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s because you don’t have a / between pdf and McCaskill. Try my correction.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Could Bush declare martial law on some pretext?  If so, does the phrase, Congress could not review the matter for a period of six months mean what it seems to mean?  Could Congress be ordered to “shut up” and stop investigating?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This  Executive Order (EO 11921) also indicated that, when a state of&lt;br /&gt;
 emergency is declared by the President, Congress could not review&lt;br /&gt;
 the matter for a period of six months.&lt;br /&gt;
(Forth paragraph down) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skepticfiles.org/socialis/fema_law.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.skepticfiles.org/socialis/fema_law.htm&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Even arch-conservative activist Howard J. Ruff was quick to point&lt;br /&gt;
 out that, since the enactment of EO 11490, “The only thing&lt;br /&gt;
 standing between us and a dictatorship is the good character of&lt;br /&gt;
 the President and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the&lt;br /&gt;
 public would stand still for it.” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skepticfiles.org/socialis/fema_law.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.skepticfiles.org/socialis/fema_law.htm&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the view  of the White House, maybe it looks like an emergency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An, I can’t figure out how to take out the underline I accidentallly put in.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I know I have been saying this for 4 years but ‘Doesn’t the Bush Administration look a lot like a criminal enterprise?’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seriously, What is the point of RICO again?&lt;br /&gt;
I’m jest saying&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who is this generations’ John Dean?  This email stuff should shake out a few serious rats now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or not….cuz that is a serious amount of lawbeaking there.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Samuel Lipari’s (Medical Supply Chain) story is worth looking into. The details I have been able to verify (Thelma Louise Quince Colbert’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mikesnipesforjudge.com/inthenews/doj_retirement_2004.php&quot;&gt;death&lt;/a&gt;) check out, and the authenticity of the email will shortly be either confirmed or be shown to be false. Thanks LS for posting those links.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know, Hatch and Public Records acts aside, shouldn’t Congress (I think this flips to Waxman’s committee, bc Lieberman’s committee serves no worthwhile purpose while he chairs it) have some interest not just in the records aspect of this; but also in the time devoted to political activities by public servants on the public dole?  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If, for example, Rove sends 100 RNC related emails a day, even if there is nothing black and evil in them, how is he earning his public funded salary?  Or the others?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And if those emails show devotion of other significant portions of the “day job” time devoted to RNC matters for any of them - shouldn’t that get some further explanation?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
