There's A Constitutional Crisis Brewing

Members of Congress are laying the groundwork to issue contempt citations against certain Bush Administration officials in the matter of the US Attorney firings scandal. Under federal law, any citations must be given to the District of Columbia US Attorney for enforcement. But, the White House is claiming that executive privilege will prevent the US Attorney from enforcing any contempt citations.

This is a constitutional crisis in the making. Of course, no one knows about it because the media is too interested in covering what Paris Hilton is up to after her horrific time in jail, or Lyndsay Lohan's latest rehab visit.

The Bush administration is as corrupt, if not more so, than the Nixon administration. These thugs are basically claiming that "executive privilege" trumps all. The president is above the law. Nixon tried that argument, and we know what happened. Congressional members of his own party were the first to call for his impeachment.

So let me see if I understand this. Bill Clinton's lie about getting a blow job was a constitutional crisis worth impeachment. But George Bush saying he doesn't answer to Congress isn't. Doesn't make much sense to me.
