Did the Republicans hear the cries of these Americans and enjoin with Democrats to fulfill this change in direction?  My guess is that Republicans were stone-cold-deaf when it came to our cries. The Republican minority could have enjoined with senate Democrats to send to the president’s desk a veto-proof bill.  That was their failure and not the failure of senate Democrats. 

By pointing blame at the Democratic majority, Ms. DiVall, three are pointing right back at you and your party. 

As many clamor for both Bush’s and Cheney’s impeachment, and while I agree in totality with those sentiments since it would be for the greater good, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi said of any impeachment process would “be off the table” While that statement in itself angers me, both the senate and house Republicans would refuse to impeach one or two of their own.  To that I would add; where are their morals and love of country?  They have none. 

Getting back to Scooter Libby’s conviction by a jury of his peers, jury notices go out to many Americans on a daily basis.  While some do anything to get out of serving on any jury, there are many that rise to the occasion to serve their country in which they partake in the judicial process.  Through this commutation which a full pardon has not been ruled out by President Bush, what he did was spit in the face of that jury and juries across this nation hearing other cases.  He (Bush) once again, subverted the rule of law.  He might as well have built an IED and blew up the judicial system.
