washingtonpost.com — Bush administration officials unveiled a bold new assertion of executive authority yesterday in the dispute over the firing of nine U.S. attorneys, saying that the Justice Department will never be allowed to pursue contempt charges initiated by Congress against White House officials once the president has invoked executive privilege.

These are very serious constitutional issues. The Republic is threatened. We do not live in a monarchy or a dictatorship.

Here's what you knuckleheads don't understand: Congress isn't doing anything about Bush or Cheney. If you are all going to sit here and cry about it, that's your problem. The fact is Congress only cares about the battle over Iraq right now, this is not even in the stack of stuff for Senators. If it was, do you think they would have staged a political stunt over in the Senate regarding Iraq (and failed)? Go ahead, scream dictator all you want, the "checks and balances" everyone so rampantly believes is non-existant aren't doing THEIR jobs. So why don't you just shut the f**k up about Bush and go after the checks and balances? No, that never occurs to you people, you are idiots.

It's almost as thought the administration is daring congress to draw up articles of impeachment.
