As for your comment. I doubt Bush ever leaves the country after his time in office. But, you are quite right It’d be a hell of a pickle they’d be in if anyone (congress) gave a shit. I want to believe, but I’m afraid Nancy is just bent to far over the barrel some way or another.

I keep hoping that on election day plus one, congress opens the flood gates and starts kicking some ass, but I just don’t see it. Too many dirty hands in Washington, they want to wash ‘em and let the dirt flow on down the river.

There will be a few end up in the Hague, but not because our bunch of toga wearing congresspunks did anything.

I’m still waiting for anything – just anything that looks like accountability to happen – just ANYthing.

Require a notice of appeal to be filed within 60 days of the district court decision in a civil case by either party when the government is a party (Rule 4)(a)(1)(B)

as Mary said.

The DC Court of Appeals (or any) has the power to stay Bates’ order (or any CA has the power to stay a district judge’s order) while the appeal is pending.

The district court can extend the notice of time for filing of the appeal if either party moves for an extension within 30 days after the 60 days expires

Fed Rules of Civil Procedure 60 (g) and

FRAP 4 (B) (5) (A) (i)

So if the government wanted to it could motions to extend the time for it to file its appeal to a maximum of 90 days if the motion were granted.

“I took it off the table a long time ago. You can’t talk about impeachment unless you have the facts, and you can’t have the facts unless you have cooperation from the administration. I think the Republicans would like nothing better than for us to focus on impeachment and take our eye off the ball of a progressive economic agenda”

So point 1: All the criminals have to do is keep quiet and they win; and
Point 2: They want impeachment and boy are we showing them!!!!
