Alas, it is (again) becoming all too clear that what politicians are most in tune with is...well...politics. Those who were holding onto the hope that the recently elected Congress would stand up for the Constitution and assert whatever pressure necesasry to ensure the Executive Branch operates within its constitutional and legal boundaries seem to be out of luck.

Congressional Democratic leaders seem to be saying these days that a fight with the administration over constitutional boundaries is just not worth it -- that the American people are just too tired of such political infighting.

Yeah, well, you know what, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Obama ? We'll be a whole lot more tired of  institutionalized tyranny and a perpetually lame-duck Congress when the Executive Branch completes it's castration of both the House and Senate.

Come to think of it, castration seems the perfect metaphor for much of current political activity in the U.S.  [Sorry, ladies -- if you want you can replace 'castration' with 'Oophorectomy' (the surgical removal of the ovaries), for your own reference.]

Existence of reproductive organs is necessary to the continuance of a species. Self-evident, right? Well, guess what? The same is true for politics, constitutions, and ways of life.

So, please, members of the House. If you would be so kind, Senators. Do your part to ensure the continuance  of  our republic. Get some balls.

Title? As in "Queen of Brook Dissent (Unregistered) 2007-07-09 16:55:45 I hope that Congress does not draw the line in the sand over the federal prosecutor firings issue. I think they have a much stronger case for subpoenas and oversight on the domestic wiretapping, and given a choice over which to go to court on, I'd choose the latter, hands down. The House really needs to start impeachment proceedings against Cheney. Then Gonzales. Then the President. In that order, hopefully, as knocking the first two out of the picture may make it easier on the third. Will they do it, though? Noooooooo....... they'll just issue another friggin' commemorative stamp. Maybe the next one should be for the Bill of Rights. Quote

Re: Queen of Brooklyn Temper D admin (Super Administrator) 2007-07-09 17:10:45 I tend to agree with your thought on where the line in the sand should be drawn. The prosecutor firings, while distasteful, were pretty clearly within the legal purview of the president and/or his minions. I addressed this in a roundabout way in the post Dear America: A letter on letters. -sm Quote

Dissent (Unregistered) 2007-07-09 18:54:50 Yep, I had read your Dear America letter in March. Maybe you couldn't hear me nodding my head in agreement as I read it. We need another Barbara Jordan. Instead, we have Nancy Pelosi. Quote
