Today we were reminded again how much the criminality of the Bush Administration has permeated to every dark, dank corner of his Politburo.

Today, Attorney General Michael Mukasey, rejected the House’s contempt citations against Josh Bolton and Harriet Miers, saying they committed no crime when they ignored Congress’s subpoenas in the U.S. attorney scandal.

So by his own authority Mr. Mukasey has promoted his job title to the nation’s ‘top cop’ AND top judge and jury of this country! He seems to suffer from the same mental delusion that most of Bush’s Administration does too, and that’s believing that not only are they above the law, but they are the law!

Fortunately, the newly spined Speaker of the House has plan ‘B’ ready:

“By ordering the U.S. Attorney to take no action in response to congressional subpoenas, the Bush Administration is continuing to politicize law enforcement, which undermines public confidence in our criminal justice system.

“Anticipating this response from the Administration, the House has already provided authority for the Judiciary Committee to file a civil enforcement action in federal district court and the House shall do so promptly. The American people demand that we uphold the law. As public officials, we take an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect our system of checks and balances and our civil lawsuit seeks to do just that.”

The Bushies are playing with fire by making up rules as they go along. What kind of precedent is the AG setting by telling those around him and those that come after him it is OK to ignore Congressional subpoenas? Thanks to Bush and his merry band of criminals that this country has been subjected to for the past 7 years, this country’s system of checks and balances, the very foundation that our laws and rules have been based on, have been made a mockery of.

Remember the whining and moaning the Repubs did when Bill Clinton was getting serviced by Monica Lewinsky in the White House? Those hypocrites couldn’t wait to get the wheels of impeachment rolling against him. The wheels of justice moved pretty swiftly for them didn’t they? But now the Bushies have thrown a spanner into the gears of justice, and brought the machine to a halt.

It will take years, if not tens of years to repair the damage these self serving politicians have done to this country. Unfortunately, we still have 325 more days before the fumigation can begin!
