Another “loyal Bushie” federal bench appointee?

Every single Bush-appointed person in our federal government should be investigated, while in the meantime they are kept under surveillance, maybe even attaching an ankle monitor to them, so we can keep track of them.

G. Thomas Gisele? Is this anything like L. Lewis Libby or G. Gordon Liddy?

When I served in the U.S. Air Force years ago, and was given a job that required a top secret clearance, the FBI visited my family and friends to check up on what I’d been doing for my first 19 years of life.

I just bet that the Bush administration, being the most lawless and corrupt administration in American history, has been waiving the FBI’s background checks for “loyal Bushie” nominees.

Not that I’m suspicious of the Bush administration. No, no, not at all. Cough.

As far as Griffin, he won’t leave until his mission is accomplished, whatever that is. Bogus voter fraud cases “investigated” just before the elections next year, maybe? Whatever it is, it can’t be good for Arkansas or for our country.

But if he had any honor or integrity (HAHAHAHA), he’d resign and let the Senate approve his replacement. Nope, never going to happen. He’s Karl Rove’s protege and we all know how much honor and integrity Rove has (HAHAHAHA)…zilch.

AR the only blue southern state..) Just have to remind them what blue means from time to time.

Make that 291-144.

and Dems had a 7-seat majority (counting the one I), but votes against Nixon were virtually unanimous. we are getting there with Bush. the Senate voted unanimously (97-0) to overturn the Patriot Act provision on US Attorneys being named by the AG for indefinite terms.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m for impeachment, and I think the process of impeachment itself will change the dynamic. My point about the press is that by summer something dramatic may be needed to hijack the debate from our stewards of civil dialogue in the media. Counting on Republicans is a fond hope. These are people who repealed habeas corpus.

Eureka Springs (269) — what we need is a call to both Pryor and Lincoln’s offices, asking them the status of S. 214, on which both had been co-sponsors. (See link above in my earlier post to read full text of the bill.) If you can call DC offices, here’s the names of their Chiefs of Staff:

Bob Russell (Pryor) 202-224-2353

Elizabeth Hurley Burks (Lincoln) 202-224-4843

S. 214 passed, but that was nearly 2 months ago in March. The bill should have been consolidated with the corresponding house bill HR 580, then signed by the President. Have NO idea whether that ever happened — in which case, these may have become law by default, and/or Bush is still sitting on them.

OK. I will call in the morning. If you think of anything else I will be around all evening.

(sorry this took so long, I stepped out. and sorry no link, but I’m not sure how to paste it into FLD’s java pop-up)

from NYT online, today, Washington page:

Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said earlier Thursday that the Justice Department can’t properly protect the nation from terrorism or oversee Bush’s no-warrant eavesdropping program with Gonzales at the helm.

“I have a sense that when we finish our investigation, we may have the conclusion of the tenure of the attorney general,”Specter said during a committee hearing.”I think when our investigation is concluded, it’ll be clear even to the attorney general and the president that we’re looking at a dysfunctional department which is vital to the national welfare.”

Liberty Lee — of course you would think that Dems peaked. Your worldview is incapable of seeing anything differently. You also cite Congress’ JAR, forgetting that nearly half of all Congress is still Republic Party members, or that the reason Dems may be tagged with Republic’s low scores is that they haven’t yet kicked their asses to the curb on Iraq like the public wants, up to and including impeachment.

BTW, let me guess you had no problems with impeachment of Clinton over prevarication regarding a blow job — but you can’t see the justification now for impeachment because of subverting the Constitution, spying without probable cause or warrants on Americans, using taxpayer resources and government agencies for political purposes, so on…

Both bills are sitting in the Senate awaiting action. Since there is a subtle but important difference between the House and Senate versions, a conference committee seems necessary but I see no indication of one yet. I would think a simple reminder to Senator Leahy and Cong. Conyers is in order.
