I very nearly said that on the panel yesterday (though I was thinking 535, cause we could use a few more guys like him in the Senate, too)

I wish you would

it is long past time we raised a HOWL against the cowards in Congress

some of y’all enjoy representation from admirable people

I got a cowardly shit for a congresscritter

he don’t even have the balls to embrace the bluedogs that he parrots

Congress needs to lead, they ain’t paid to follow, or they need to get the fuck out of the way

we’re upholding our Constitution

if that’s an inconvenience for our congresscritters, they should be dealt with appropriately

I believe a part of title 18 of the US Code deals with malfeasance

let’s put in action

Then Mary wrote:

The case as a case stands for what it stands for, so a District Court in particular would have a hard time saying that its holdings can be ignored. But this is why facts are so important (the issue I kept raising with the OLC opinions prior to the releases of the Bybee Torture II and the Bradbury memos – reliance opinions have to have facts) to case law. Certainly, what the facts have demonstrated is that the Executive branch lied to the Judicial branch. The highest level of gov officers swore out false affidavits, they bore false witness. So I do think that the court might be justified, based on the factual components that have since been revealed, in asking for more from the Exec.

In particular, though, I’d love sit through some oral argument on State’s secrets were DOJ gets asked about Reynold’s – do you still stand by it as a state secret? If so, why? If that is your version of a “state secret” at DOJ, is that reasonable and if you are not reasonable should you receive any deference at all? If you concede now that it was not a state secret and that the Executive branch lied to the Judicial branch – how many bites of that apple should the Exec get?

we need to do more to make the individuals who implemented these policies personally responsible.

prosecute them

the Constitution offers no protection for acts outside the law

if it ain’t legal, then the government’s protective powers are not applicable

the law is very clear.

illegal contracts are not enforcable

illegal acts are not a part of any official government duties

detain em, try em, an punish them

we could start by enforcing the law that makes it a crime to use classification or national securith to commit a crime or prevent political embarrasment

using the national security laws for either of those purposes is a crime

classifying information, or declassifying information, for criminal purposes or other personal considerations, is a violation of the US Code

plain an simple

do I gotta look up chapter an verse ???
