AmeriKan Justice
Just catch the inherent tone of bias in this, will you?
Bush aides warned in firings; Answer subpoenas or face citation, confidants are told" by Laurie Kellman/Associated Press November 6, 2007
WASHINGTON - House Democrats yesterday threatened to hold President Bush's key confidants in contempt of Congress unless they comply with subpoenas for information on the Justice Department's purge of federal prosecutors last winter.
The White House shrugged off the ultimatum, saying the information is off-limits under executive privilege and that the aides in question - White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten and former presidential counselor Harriet Miers - are immune from prosecution.
Sig Heil!
Dana Perino, White House press secretary predicted: "It won't go anywhere."
Not with slanted and biased news coverage like that!
It's as if the AP (or whoever) just wants the story to go away)!
In a separate letter, Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, urged White House Counsel Fred Fielding to comply:
"As we submit the committee's contempt report to the full House, I am writing one more time to seek to resolve this issue on a cooperative basis," Conyers said in a letter to Fielding.
Gee, that sure is THREATENING, huh?
And why was this information removed from the web piece.
I had to type by hand.
What arrogant assholes, wanting me to pay for reporting on their shit!
The White House showed no signs of budging, maintaining that the law does not require a US attorney to prosecute someone carrying out a president's invocation of executive privilege.
Fielding has offered to make officials and documents available to the committee behind closed doors, not under oath, and off the record. Lawmakers demanded a transcript.
Yup, Bush OFFERED and the DemocraPs DEMANDED!
Nice objective journalism, huh? What SHIT!!!!!!!!
In their own section of the report, committee Republicans said Conyers's probe has uncovered no wrongdoing regarding the firings and pointed out that letting a judge referee the dispute could shut down the checks and balances of congressional oversight.
Everything from here down was cut from the web!
Talk about CENSORSHIP!!!
"What the majority actually seeks is not the truth, but political confrontation. No good purpose would be served by the spectacle of holding either Harriet Mieirs or Joshua Bolten in contempt of Congress so that the committee may recklessly pursue a myth."
Same thing they would say about a 9/11 investigation I'd wager!
In what he said was his ninth letter to the White House on this issue, Conyers said he was trying one last time to reach an agreement on releasing the information."
Oh, this was the LIMP DICK'S NINTH LETTER, huh?
Yeah, this last one has the White House crapping in it's pants in fear, I'm sure!
Hey, look, they just gave ya the middle-finger salute, Johnny!
"Miers, Rove and other, lower-ranking current and former White House officials would be interviewed along the lines of Fielding's previous offer of private testimony not under oath. Conyers insisted on a transcript of any such question-and-answer sessions, however. That's a condition that Fielding so far has rejected.
Conyers asked Monday that Fielding reply by end of the week. Congress goes on a two-week recess in mid-November."
See ya, Johnny (as Fielding extends middle finger)!
Pakistani Justice
Musharraf clinging to power
"What is clear is that Musharraf does not trust either the decisions of an independent judiciary or the judgment of the public. These are symptoms of a dictatorial mind-set."
HELLOOOOOOOOOO!
Hey, Globe, rather than write about Musharaff, how about TAKING A LOOK RIGHT HERE at HOME?!?!
Sig Heil!!
"For the longer term, the United States should be as solicitous of Pakistan's civilian political parties as it has been of Musharraf. Bush should push for the lifting of tariffs on Pakistani textiles, and more US aid money should be directed to public schools for the poor in Pakistan - ultimately the most effective way to fight against religious extremists and their recruiters."
Yup, more money for schools over there so we can outsource textile jobs there (and make kids do them).
How about leaving them the fuck alone?
Massachusetts Justice
Closing the justice gap
"AMERICA promises justice for all, but it hasn't delivered. Well-to-do people can hire the legal help they need, and poor criminal defendants are entitled to government-paid lawyers. But from housing court to custody battles, people in civil cases who can't afford lawyers are often on their own - unless volunteer lawyers help. This means many people may get only as much justice as they can buy, which is often no justice at all.
One promising solution is to expand the right to counsel to cover more poor people in dire legal situations. This would increase access to justice and help the courts function more smoothly.
Last year, the American Bar Association recommended that government-funded lawyers be appointed to low-income people when "basic human needs are at stake, such as those involving shelter, sustenance, safety, health, or child custody. . ."
It's a noble call that would provide sweeping protections to the poor. But it's also a proposal that would cost millions of dollars. A more realistic approach is to press for gradual change.
Massachusetts already provides lawyers in a number of civil cases, helping, for example, family members who are involved with the Department of Social Services, as well as adults who face petitions saying they should be committed to psychiatric facilities.
You mean the government that luuvvs us soooo much?
Like they loved this woman and her child?
Mother Government of Massachusetts
Justice shouldn't be a luxury item."
Whatever, Globe! Did you see up top?
Apparently, it is a LUXURY for BUSH!!!
AmeriKa's Justice STINKS! And so does it MSM press!
Sig Heil! Sig Heil!! Sig Heil!!!
