Words from the judge

"Presidential autonomy, such as it is, cannot mean that the Executive's actions are totally insulated from scrutiny by Congress. That would eviscerate Congress's historical oversight function," Judge Bates wrote.

The White House claim of "absolute immunity," the judge ruled, "rests upon a discredited notion of executive power and privilege."

"It is the judiciary (and not the executive branch itself) that is the ultimate arbiter of executive privilege," he wrote. "Permitting the Executive to determine the limits of its own privilege would impermissibly transform the presumptive privilege into an absolute one, yet that is what the Executive seeks through its assertion of Ms. Miers's absolute immunity from compulsory process."

  1. One thing about crooks like Bush and his bunch - if pressured they'll start turning on each other.  It truly is "Lord of the Flies" at the White House.  Like little kids caught in the plots of murder, rape, treason, torture, illegal warfare and civil rights abuse.  

    So watch as the Bush administration frays at the edges.  Bush might have some of his people murdered but I don't think he has the focus for that.  Mostly more people will turn on Bush - as McClellan has done - and Bush will just sit there like absolutely nothing is wrong - right to the end - until somebody walks in and actually arrests him or he's led out to the plane to go home to Crawford, Texas.  

    And one thing for sure - everything will always be denied forever by these creatures.  So let's hope when it's all over there's war crimes trials for these folks.  Otherwise the amazing abuses of the Bush Administration will become the standard upon which we operate as a country.


  2. I think that 2 people need to go to Congress and claim that Bush committed treason because he did by lying to get us into war and by spying on Americans illegally.  Both direct acts against Americans.  The definition of treason is exactly that.  Constitution says only 2 people need to claim such a thing.  over 1,000,000 people said that he needed to be impeached and brought it to the house.  The funny thing about this executive priveledge immunity c**p, the judge that was the deciding factor in the legality of it WAS APPOINTED BY REPUBLICANS!  His own party won't even touch his stupidity lol!
