i’ve been bakin’ sara and harriet
videos, all evening. .

Watch video here:

1. one minute of sara-taylor-testimony,
[and senator patrick-leahy-incredulity], we see
what is at the heart of all the other matters
afflicting the bush law enforcement policies,
the bush-controlled-justice-department, and
even his policy in iraq. . . it is this view
that puts “loyalty to the king” before loyalty
to the constitution, to the rule of law, to the people,
and to our 231-year-long, most-successful, experiment
with liberty — and power — residing first in
the hands of the people, and thus, not the king.

kudos to sen. leahy for a truly-flawless,
and understated, line of questioning — sara
taylor said far more, here, than she knew. . .

g’night!

Nolo — great job on that video exchange. It is indeed the absolute essence of what’s gone terribly wrong during this admin.

(2) Your intent to make short commentary videos every few night is fantastic.
