That was the vicious genius of the Newtster's impeachment of Clinton: it took impeachment (or prosecution) off the table for Dems as a "partisan" ploy. For the next generation any Democrat attempting to bring in a bill of impeachment against a Republican President NOT caught sodomizing an underage male while on the phone with Vladimir Putin discussing selling the nuclear codes will be accused of trying to settle the score for the Clenis.<BR/><BR/>If only Tricky Dick had been that tricky!<BR/><BR/>No, my hope is that one of the disappeared goes to the ICC and the Obama DOJ cooperates in delivering these shitheels to justice in Brussels.

Most of them are going to be Bushies, but this stuff can't have gone as far and as long as it has without prominent Congressional Democrats knowing about it and saying and doing nothing. The Bushies are authoritarian scum who will be proud and unashamed of their roles in disappearing and mistreating people, guilty and innocent alike. The Dems have claimed to take the high road on this issue. I suspect that revealing who knew what and when will show many of our Congressional "leaders" were in on the crimes, at least in the sense of "guilty knowledge".<BR/><BR/>And you're right about the formal process of invalidating these loathesome "signing statements". But part of my point is that the job of restricting these damn things isn't really the President's. Congress should have jerked his chain in LONG ago; it shouldn't be a matter of regulation, amenable to the whims of the Chief Executive. It needs to be a matter of law; the Congress makes the law, the President executes it. Not his "version" of it, not the parts he likes based on some blather he spouts while signing the damn thing. If he doesn't like it, he needs to veto it. It's sad to think that we need a law to make the President obey the law. But there's Bush's Legacy!FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-65971061243320577522008-11-14T11:19:00.000-07:002008-11-14T11:19:00.000-07:00He needs to do a lot more than "publicly reject" s...He needs to do a lot more than <I>"publicly reject"</I> signing statements. He should issue an executive order that clearly states that all former signing statements are null and void and that public (or secret) servants shall follow the law as passed by Congress and not as per any previous 'signing statement'. Then he should publicly state that he will never use a signing statement no matter who is in the majority in congress.<BR/><BR/>As for Reid and Granny Pelosi, there is no need for us to turn on them. Bush is the guilty one. So are you suggesting that we let him skate and go after our own?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-2493151068265458522008-11-14T09:18:00.000-07:002008-11-14T09:18:00.000-07:00I would say that nothing like releasing the past 8...I would say that nothing like releasing the past 8 years worth of Presidential malfesance would be appropriate.<BR/>All the secret memos, all the EO's...just out it all.<BR/>No official charges of misconduct, but rather a bright eye-opener for the American people to see what their elected President did while they all drummed their fingers on their lips, pissing themselves because they actually f~~king believed OBL was going to fly a 747into their paper-mache corn edifice for the local county fair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-76551806876476738802008-11-13T20:40:00.000-07:002008-11-13T20:40:00.000-07:00I wholeheartedly agree with 1-4.
