Hire a hack to write an opinion and you’re home free
This isn’t about torture,FISA,EP,the war on terror or anything else.It’s about circumventing the constitution and should only be dealt with in that regard.
These congress critters’questions are void of reason.You don’t ask someone who’s gonna shoot or rob or torture or rape you for a legal opinion
Like Addington said,”I’m not here to offer you legal advice you have your own attys for that”
They should be attacking the ablility of OLC to make law.Alot of their “opinions” still haven’t been disclosed and nobody is doing anything about it
Just the idea that a cabal can gain power and rewright the laws to me is unfuckingbeleivable
If that’s the way the constitution is interpreted than we’re in deep shit

Bush and Cheney have given us an Emerald City of green-painted flats, a horse whose different colors run in the streets like the tears of Baghdad, and a wizard who’s nothing more than a carnival charlatan with a broken watch in his bag of tricks and a testimonial he wrote himself.

If the WH is not responding to oversight…

If the hearings are not digging deeper, using the facts we know of and appear just for show…

If there are members of one body of government complicit in the illegal acts of another body of government and the third body we rely on to uphold justice, has been politicized, how are the people getting true representation? If the representation has been compromised, what immediate recourse do We the People have now?
