WTF Is It Now?!?

Goddammit! This is not some fucking dictatorship!
Yet. BuzzFlash Four Alarmer: "This is it. Bush and Cheney have put the challenge to Congress: Impeach us or we will violate the Constitution and have the Courts to back us no matter what contempt charges you pursue. This is even mindbogglingly in opposition to the Constitution by Bush and Cheney standards, which are as low as Death Valley: '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.'"

Mark J. Rozell, a professor of public policy who has written a book on executive-privilege issues, called the administration's stance "astonishing."

"That's a breathtakingly broad view of the president's role in this system of separation of powers," Rozell said. "What this statement is saying is the president's claim of executive privilege trumps all."

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) said the position "makes a mockery of the ideal that no one is above the law."

Waxman added: "I suppose the next step would be just disbanding the Justice Department."

No, the next step would be some serious articles of impeachment from you guys. I mean, come on already, wtf??


God, how I hate him.
