^ That was Charlie's take on it.

For me, when I heard the new this morning I was driving and making a left hand turn. I "saw" the judge in Toad saying GUILTY!

Okay, now I understand. For a moment I was thinking it was in some sort of code. Too much DaVinci on the brain, I guess.

I thought she was making another typo. An extreme typo, but a typo nonetheless.

I think that it isn't a good idea to allow the DOJ to have the power to raid the offices of members of Congress. It gives the executive too much power over the legislative. IMO, the legislative branch should only be answerable to the people. Giving the executive that kind of power could lead to an intimidated and controled congress, and a president who is a dictator.

Without judicial warrant, yeah. With judicial warrant, no problem.

ETA: I would argue that the current two party system leads to intimidated and controlled legislators.....by their own parties. Withholding of campaign funds, support of a challange, etc, all largely beholden to voting the party line.

Of course, no President would everappoint judges who would do whatever they were asked to do by said President. Nope. Never.
