Bush Undermining The Judicial System

    I ran across this posting on one of my favorite sites today.That would be Daily Kos for those of you interested.

   The article is about President Bush and his coy way of subverting the judicial process. It makes for some interesting reading so here is a partial piece of the story.

New Dangerous Judicial Subversion by Bush

Our Constitution's balance of power provisions have taken a huge hit under Bush: first is the amassing of unprecedented power by the executive; the second is the reduction of the legislative role to simply that of an advisory group.

And now the administration is secretly undermining the judicial branch.

The quote below is part of a letter by Senator Dianne Feinstein: http://feinstein.senate.gov

"It has come to our attention that the Bush administration is pushing out U.S. Attorneys from across the country under the cloak of secrecy and then appointing indefinite replacements without Senate confirmation. (Ed. emphasis mine) We know this is not an isolated occurrence, but we don't know how many U.S. Attorneys have been asked to resign -- it could be two, it could be ten, it could be more.  No one knows."          Entire Article

The article goes on to mention that this little provision was placed into the Patriot Act reauthorization last year.

   I'm telling you  my fellow Americans! The Bush Crime Family is working on a dictatorship because they have to much money at stake in their illegal dealings and such.

   This presidency and this administration is nothing but an on-going war profiteering enterprise!

    I am sure that the evidence for impeachment is out there somewhere and we must find it. First off though, we have to get Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic leaders to get off of that kick about impeachment being off the table!

    Call,write,phone,or fax you Representatives and Senators and tell them what you want to have happen. The time is now to begin the processes!

On Iraq, U.S. Turns to Onetime Dissenters

Timothy M. Carney went to Baghdad in April 2003 to run Iraq's Ministry of Industry and Minerals. Unlike many of his compatriots in the Green Zone, the rangy, retired American ambassador wasn't fazed by chaos. He'd been in Saigon during the Tet Offensive, Phnom Penh as it was falling to the Khmer Rouge and Mogadishu in the throes of Somalia's civil war. Once he received his Halliburton-issued Chevrolet Suburban, he disregarded security edicts and drove around Baghdad without a military escort. His mission, as he put it, "was to listen to the Iraqis and work with them."
    He left after two months, disgusted and disillusioned. The U.S. occupation administration in Iraq, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), placed ideology over pragmatism, he believed. His boss, viceroy L. Paul Bremer, refused to pay for repairs needed to reopen many looted state-owned factories, even though they had employed tens of thousands of Iraqis. Carney spent his days screening workers for ties to the Baath Party.

"Planning was bad," he wrote in his diary on May 8, "but implementation is worse."       WaPo Article

    So now the Bush administration is going to try to play nice with all of the groups that were disbanded after the United States raided Iraq. This should be an interesting deal for the U.S. because you can bet that the disbanded groups are going to have their respective hands out with the "What have you done for me lately?" words on their lips when Bushco comes to town.

   Do we actually pay Bush real currency for this crap? If so, we need a refund!
