In these circumstances, as they involve the integrity of the justice system, we need to know pan, and in a republic with a representative government, it is our right, and the duty of our elected representatives, to use all legal powers accorded to them, to try and find out.
It is supposed to be "messy", and that is nothing to shrink from. You mentioned that you prefer that congress legislate and not investigate. We just experienced at least 4 years of no investigation, are we better off because of it? Without the restoration of constitutional checks and balances, why pass new bills into law, without finding if the provisions of the existing body of laws are being evenhandedly and vigorously enforced? |
No Host, I WANT Congress to investigate and I WANT Bush to cooperate and get this mess over with. But from the OP's linked article Bush is going to play games and power plays and Congress is going to have to come to a standstill while they investigate and NOTHING will get done.
This is both sides fault.... (moreso the GOP because they have let Bush get this far when they controlled Congress) and it needs to end.
What I am trying to say is that I am sick and tired of the bullshit power plays and the ego maniacal assholes we allow to sit in office and do nothing but play games.
This is my country, this is not what I deserve to have happen nor is it where my tax dollars should have to go.
I think Bush needs to cooperate with Congress and get this mess dealt with and start rebuilding this nation. I stated in the OP what I feel Bush's 4 options are and to save time and money he needs to do one of them, and then we the people need to make the choice if we accept his decision or not.
Personally, I feel he needs to resign or be impeached in a very fast and timely manner. But neither of those will happen, Congress will be at a standstill, Billions upon billions of tax dollars will be spent and NOTHING will be done to truly help rebuild this country..... in fact programs will get cut because the money that was earmarked for them got spent for the investigations and powerplays.
I think we deserve politicians who put partisan politics aside and do what is best for this country and not for their party or themselves as individuals. Especially a president.... a president needs to be a uniter and to share hope.... not a divider and spread hate.
Hence I say again:
