Wonder what would happen if the peasants started using the Rove/Meiers/Palin precedent of ignoring subpoenas?

Undermining the Rule of Law – particularly in An Abuse of Power Investigation – should be a Clarion Call to All Law-makers Who Love Freedom and Respect the Role of Equal Justice for All in Holding Together a Nation.

Lack of Action to Support the Rule of Law = Green-lighting Extremists to Ignore It

The Palins are The Test Case to Determine if “Beliefs” Trump the Rule of Law. Todd Palin doesn’t ‘believe’ the State Legislature has the ‘legitimate authority’ to conduct this investigation; Ergo those Subpoenas are Just Pieces of Paper.

What say you, Alaska?

Time’s a wastin’ – the Fabric of Our Society is Loosening by the Hour…

Did anyone see Clinton on Larry King. I thought it was fascinating. Clinton was on t.v saying the exact opposite of Bushco. He said that this crisis is solveable. “Sure it’s a crises requiring that we make some important decisions, but the right decisions will save the economy.” He was so calm, so sure that this could be dealt with and the economy could be saved by restoring oversight, increasing taxes for the wealthy. He clearly was trying to stave off the panic.

I just think regardless of what you think of him…he gets it. He knows what game they are playing with us, right now.

We all need to make sure we aren’t giving into the panic. That we continue to act from rational thought…just as Obama appears to be doing.

I absolutely agree though, that the biggest part of this plan has to do with inciting panic, creating a crises. Making us more emotional and more willing to be led.

McSame is doing exactly what needs to be done on his chess board. Panic, distraction, and it works for 50% of the voters. They aren’t listening to the details. They don’t care about the same things that you and I do.

They want to make sure that poor undeserving people don’t get any of their money. They want to maintain their status. There is nothing you can say to stop them in their pro life, pro war (what a schizophrenic dichotomy) stance. Nothing. His next chess move is to take more and more control. It will be a power play and will not be about politics as usual he is desperate.

We are best when we know his next move…and stay several plays ahead of him. The dems finally are starting to take control of the message. The message is: Calm down, we have it under control, the laws of this land save us, the fundamentals of the contitution are sound. In order for the dems to win, they MUST control the panic.

They MUST be able to keep emotion mind at a minimum. If they can take control of the emotion…they will win the election.

It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear members from both sides of the table say “time to move on, turn the page, that is history”. It is sickening.

Senator Schumer just told Senator McCain to “get out of town”. That his presence has only served to undermine the progress that they felt like they were making.

“This is hard work. Our proposal is a big proposal.”

“We also need to move quickly.”

And he’s done!!!! Easiest liveblog ever!

Chris Matthews has described it really well ” Many Republicans are taking their uniforms off and running away from the very situation that they created”
