Subpoena power

Can we give Bush some pot? Maybe he'd quit trying to pick a fight with the rest of the world

There is no perjury when a man is asked questions that are nobody's business. Only injustice.

Injustice? Perhaps. However when you are entering sworn testimony and lie that's pretty much the definition of perjury. I would have had a lot more respect for Mr. Clinton if he had just told them to piss off.

Agreed. I bet Mr. Cheney tells Congress to piss off when they supoena him.


And I know the definition of perjury, tyvm. I didn't literally mean Clinton did not commit perjury. I simply hold that perjury charges against a man who is asked questions that he should not be compelled to answer is an injustice.

(Before you ask Neph, yes I would stand in defense of Bush if he was ever called in front of Congress to testify about a blowjob.)

Wasn't going to ask.

Though I suspect your dream of subpeonas is never going to happen-however, if so you better hope they find something huge (which I doubt) because otherwise they will look like nothing but a gang out for revenge- hardly what most people want.

Clearly you've missed the last five years somehow...

[Motorboat Cruiser]

I see I didn't miss much.

[Scrooge McSam]

Better?

The political vengeance angle is something the republicans will definitely try. Whether that's successful depends on how effective the new Congress is in proving Bush's lack of honesty with the citizenry. And how petulant and bull headed Georgie decides to be in the coming months.
