Even if that is the real title, why does a Presidential candidate think Paris Hilton’s inheritance should not be assessed at any approximation of what the desk clerks and maids in her family’s company have to pay?

When Repubs call Dems “elitist,” they’re calling them traitors to the upper class.

Ask yourselves this: WHY DO HIS OWN CHILDREN DISAVOW ANY INVOLVEMENT AT ALL IN HIS CAMPAIGN OR HIS LIFE. AND THEY ARE QUIET ABOUT IT BECAUSE HE IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS, AND THEY ARE AFRAID.

I haven’t read a book in 2 years because I’m writing one on my own. It’s on meditation, but I don’t want another author’s words or style coming into mine, it wouldn’t be fair to either of us. I have read some of Marcy’s posts and she is a brilliant attorney.

You’re right! You really don’t want to go there now. Congrats on the book.
And I’m not sure, but I don’t know if Marcy has a JD. She has her PhD, making it all the more interesting how she grasps legal issues instinctively, instead of by training.

EW and some other phenomenal attorneys were on, so I lurked and read their comments. I wish the committee had a direct feed for FDL’s blogs today, Abu would have been screwed, blued and tattoed.

Someday, Dems in Congress will figure out that their best investigative may come from the ranks of the Dirty F$%^&@* Hippies, and Marcy will be put to great use. She’s a treasure. Have you read her book? Simply stunning grasp of issues.

At the outset today, Abu looked like a man facing a firing squad.

During today’s hearing, I got a call from a client and had to bail for about ten minutes. When I returned, Abu had appearently just been drilled by someone. I have to find a half hour this weekend to scrub my way thru the vid – FDL was on fire!

Whitehouse impressed me a great deal. They all kept building and building and the chart in the end had to send the administration into convulsions. If he showed this chart, what else does he have?

The chart was good stuff, and came from absolutely nowhere. Abu had to be loading his trowsers about then (he immediately began calling Whitehouse “Sir”).

The real gem of Whitehouse’s second chance was his pointing out that OIG & OPR are being fronted by DOJ to protect the internal inquiry. Remember OPR doesn’t issue a public report, and only looks into lawyers conduct as lawyers, not at administrative functions (the USA thing is admin, not law). Abu was completely pinned on this. Whitehouse would not let him up until he was completely prostrate.
Repeated viewings of that sequence (I know, get a life) reveal a very deep understanding of conspiracy and DOJ policy and practice by the Senator. I am so glad I digitized the hearings. Just beautiful.

When I saw Whitehouse’s chart and heard his queries, I had a ‘moment of enlightenment’ where I could see his previous remarks and where they all led to check mate of Abu. It’s a pity that Conyers & Co. did not go after Abu today with the same zeal as Leahy & Co. did that day.
