Outrageous.
All those Dems who voted to confirm him should hang their heads in shame.
At this point, though, their heads would be underground for all the shame they should be suffering.
I'll get sheets
I feel helpless, dude. Fuck.
even though jails are overfull, let's make a bit more room for all these criminals, eh?
I think Roger Clemens is a lying jerk--but I also think Congress should go after important criminals--like everyone in the bush admin- & their Demo enablers.
Morning, Moonbats! It's the first of the month; time for breast self-exams.
But...but...there's baseball players to be prosecuted!!!!
The DEMs who advocated for him should be voted out. The ones who voted for him should be spanked, at least, hard across their bare buttocks.
The response from the DOJ was a given.
Well, the AG does work for the Just Us Department. It's not like they care about anyone who isn't a Rethug.
Gee, no one could have anticipated that a Bush nominee would have contempt for the rule of law.

Notice NYTimes reported that story on the bottom corner of A14, all five inches of it.
Of course, that's where they bury all the really significant stories, I've learned.
The fact that La Pelosi is making any sort of tough-sounding noises at all recently is, in my uninformed opinion, most likely a result of internal polls showing her constituents giving a big fat "thumbs up" to Cindy Sheehan's candidacy against her.
Gee, no one could have anticipated that a Bush nominee would have contempt for the rule of law.

Comforting to know he was once a federal judge, isn't it.
jeebusfuck.
"Criminal" doesn't even begin to describe this admin, does it? (rhetorical)
I'm so old I can remember when this type of thing would upset the Villagers. Perhaps it will again, in 9 months or so.
You got that right! /Skynyrd
"...the House has already provided authority for the Judiciary Committee to file a civil enforcement action in federal district court and the House shall do so promptly."
So, will anything become of this?
noblejoanie,
A14 is where all the kewl kidz hang out!

Since neither Clinton nor Obama voted at all on it, there's no flame war fuel here.

What the FUCK is Waxman's problem?
My ass hurts. 
internal polls showing her constituents giving a big fat "thumbs up" to Cindy Sheehan's candidacy against her.
I've been so disapponted in her. I was really expecting her to play Baltimore politics with the WH and instead she's caved every single time.

Thanks. The decision doesn't surprise me in the least.
Glad that Pelosi made the request as it has the DOJ on record as refusing to do its job, tho.

Liberals just don't get Article II of the Constitution or read the last sentence of Article II, Section 2, Clause 2:
Clause 1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. And he will function as the True Master and Absolute Power whose every wish will have the force of a Commandment of God and shall be enforced without hesitation or limitation.
And the USAF just outsourced the tanker deal to Air Bus. Boeing and Americans who want to work during our recession get the finger.
Gee, no one could have anticipated that a Bush nominee would have contempt for the rule of law.
Here's a question:
Did any of Bush's nominees / appointees prove to be ethical and effective public servants?
Any at all?
What the FUCK is Waxman's problem?
Good question.
Anybody who thought Mukasey wasn't just going to be another "Loyal Bushie" is an idiot. Yes, I understand that this includes most of the Democratic Senate contingent.
The only remaining thing important to Bush is to cover up his crimes for another nine months while his patrons keep raiding the treasury. After that it's scuttle-the-ship time for the Loyal Bushies--fire up the shredders, try to break as many of the levers of government as they can before they have to hand it over to the infidels, and pray real hard for the Rapture.

You know, while so close to the election it's pointless to impeach Bush and let that suck up all the air in room, the Attorney General is fair game. Can congress impeach the Attorney General for refusing to uphold the law?
Any at all?

Bush I appointed John E Jones III...
Wait, wrong Bush.
Glad that Pelosi made the request as it has the DOJ on record as refusing to do its job, tho.

On his permanent record? Oh no.
Actually this would all but guarantee his appointment to the SCt, if the Republicans ever get that chance again.
I always forget Clause 2
Boeing and Americans who want to work during our recession get the finger.
Troutski, my friends!
Boeing's a blue-state company. Fuck 'em. Bush probably gets more kickbacks from EADS than he does from Boeing.
And the USAF just outsourced the tanker deal to Air Bus. Boeing
Yep, the French are laughing at us. A few years ago, I'd have said, with shame, that we didn't produce much in the USA except for weapons. Now, we apparently are going to outsource that.
Boeing and Americans who want to work during our recession get the finger.
Except for the Americans in Mobile who will be doing the assembly.

They could ask him to investigate himself. Or at least give himself a stern talking-to. Or they could be Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and ask him to please rub their bellies a little more in that special way he does.

Does he even remotely LOOK like someone who should be advising the president? Where did he go to school, Liberty University?

God wills it.
“Anticipating this response from the Administration, the House has already provided authority for the Judiciary Committee to file a civil enforcement action in federal district court and the House shall do so promptly. The American people demand that we uphold the law. As public officials, we take an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect our system of checks and balances and our civil lawsuit seeks to do just that.”
Well, at least Pelosi et. al. for once seemed to look a few moves ahead, and aren't shocked, shocked that Mukasey gave them the finger. Credit where it is due, I suppose.
Better check that Mobile claim again. Only a small amount of assembly will happen there.
Token jobs.

We don't need no stinkin' constitution
(Jews on First) - "during a 2004 high school graduation ceremony, a pastor invited by the school board singled out Samantha Dobrich, the sole Jewish graduate. According to the complaint filed in the case, the pastor singled out Samantha in his invocation: "I also pray for one specific student, that You be with her and guide her in the path that You have for her. And we ask all these things in Jesus' name and for his sake." .... Samantha's younger brother Alexander's classmates began calling him "Jew boy" and accused him of "killing Christ." ....
Yeah, what's wrong with a little government sponsored prayer....

How can light be refracted or "bent" by a prism when it has no mass?
Light travels different speeds thru different mediums, hence refraction.
Refraction is independent of mass.

The prism has a different dielectric constant than air. Light generally travels slower when passing through solid matter.

You know, the really sad thing is that the answer to that question is likely: nothing. You could almost have a little respect if the Dems at least did some horse trading: you can have a criminal head up DoJ but you're going to have to bring the troops home or appoint some decent judges or something. But these Dems don't even do that. They just cave.
It's the Senate, not the House, no?
Waxman is the one who referred the matter to Justice:
A Congressional committee asked the Justice Department on Wednesday to investigate whether Roger Clemens made false statements under oath about his suspected use of steroids and human growth hormone, strengthening the possibility that he could be charged with perjury.
In a letter sent to Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said it could not definitively say if Clemens had lied under oath during its investigation into his challenge of accusations contained in the report on baseball and drugs prepared by George J. Mitchell. But the committee said it believed that the Justice Department should pursue the matter.
In referring to Clemens, the letter stated: “We believe that his testimony in a sworn deposition on February 5, 2008, and at a hearing on February 13, 2008, that he never used anabolic steroids or human growth hormone warrants further investigation.”
The letter was signed by the committee chairman, Democrat Henry A. Waxman of California, and the ranking minority member, Republican Tom Davis of Virginia.
When a dem takes office as president, Mukasey should immediately be fired sand then prosecuted for obstruction.
Yeah, what's wrong with a little government sponsored prayer....

Article on Goeglein from just after the 2004 election...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp...-
2004Dec23.html
Officially, Goeglein, a 40-year-old who looks as if he would be carded trying to buy a beer, is deputy director of the Office of Public Liaison, one of four White House political departments run by uberstrategist Karl Rove. Yet Goeglein's role is much more central to how this president operates -- and wins elections -- than the job title suggests, according to several Republicans outside and inside the White House.
It is Goeglein's job to make sure conservatives are happy, in the loop and getting their best ideas before the president and turned into laws. With Goeglein's assistance, Christian conservatives, for instance, were successful in lobbying Bush to push for abstinence-first funding to combat AIDs and speak out against the persecution of Christians in Sudan, according to Charles W. Colson, an evangelical Christian who works closely with Bush and Goeglein...
He assumed he was headed to the White House press shop after the election. But, he said, Rove phoned with an unexpected message: "I am calling to change your life." A few minutes later, Goeglein was Rove's right-hand man dealing with the political right. Goeglein plans to assume the same role in the second term. "I love people. I love policy, and I love politics."

Just a reminder of how it went down in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein, from two of the most liberal states in the union, voted with the ReThugs to send Mukasey's nomination to the full Senate.
The final vote was 57-43, with 7 absent and their votes would not have made a difference.
Comments to Chuck and Di might be good things, to just rub it in--and let them know we haven't forgotten their rotten votes.
More and better Dems, please. ASAP.

I forget! It is not a difficult answer, though, IIRC. The variable/dual nature of electrons is why. I'll dip in and see if I can't scout up the full answer.
The Shumer push is from the same neocon crowd that helps fund NY Clinton. Israeli Lukkids (sp?).
Election $$ reform will cure some of this.

A matter of priorities
It isn't that Mukasey thinks that the law is not important. It's just that the law is not quite as important as the Fuehrerprinzip, the principle that the Leader must be obeyed. Yes, the Constitution charges the president with faithfully executing the law, and this administration follows that charge to the letter... by taking the Law out behind the barn and executing it with a bullet to the back of the head.
Gee, what gives Republicans the idea they can get away with just about anything? I wonder.
Could it be the Democratic (phony opposition) Party?
Although Ashcroft's values differ greatly from my own, I remember that he _did_ refuse to sign off on the wiretapping when Rove came to his hospital room to get him to overrule Comer. That's something.
And early on, there were several Bush appointees who resigned out of disgust.
It's my impression that Mukasey can be impeached. If that's correct, he should be.
Light's refraction is an example of its wavelike behavior, not its matterlike behavior.
I'm from California. I'm proud of Waxman, and my local guy, Honda. I'm boundlessly disappointed in Pelosi. As nearly as I can discern, Feinstein is a Republican.
Isn't this exactly what Congressionally-appointed special counsels are for?

Waxman is pretty good overall, but he did vote for the Iraq war authorization.

Why do so many of these fundie religious-right figures look like callow little boys or creepy child molesters -- Goeglein, Ralph Reed, Ted Haggard, etc?
Can't wait to see the decision from the Supreme Court justices Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein put on the bench.
Hum...what do Feinstein, Schumer, and Mukasey have in common? How about the neocons? Just asking...
It seems that Schumer hasn't been hogging the camera nearly so much since Mukasey shed his skin and revealed his bushie nature.
So, something good happened.
