DROOLING IDIOCY WITH A LOCAL FLAVOR: HASTERT, PELOSI AND FRIST AGREE AND ARE ALL WRONG

After Mr. 90 Grand in the Freezer Jefferson was the subject of a search of his Congressional office. Hastert went nuts (a relatively short journey), Pelosi Joined in and Frist, as always, opined. They all protested the incursion into the legislative branch by the executive branch (FBI). They all screamed "separation of powers". They skip the important fact that the third branch of government--the judiciary, whose job it is to decide these things--heard evidence and issued a search warrant for George Jefferson's office. What the Hell was the FBI supposed to do, just say "never mind"? A search warrant is a command from the court to go search a certain locale. That's what the FBI did. The republic will somehow hold itself together. The best way to handle this would be to have Congressmen stop committing crimes. What a concept!

Joe--

If you want to argue that the congress has acted like housepets while the executive shoplifted the government, you'll get no fight from me. My point is that, when they finally decide to make a squawk, they pick an action that is actually sanctioned by a court based upon evidence of probable cause.

This is the very type of court order that Our Heroes won't insist upon to listen to our phone conversations and pen register our entire lives.

Thanks for coming by....oh, and I did see the Krugman piece, with which I was in almost complete agreement. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
