Email From the ACLJ:
If anyone needed proof ... last week sealed the deal.
It seems the new liberal Congress on Capitol Hill has made its mark, shown its true colors, and clearly questioned the authority of our President.
With a new Congress in town ... distraction will be the name of the game.
Nancy Pelosi and her team are crying foul over the firings of eight U.S. federal attorneys.
But the hard truth is this: federal prosecutors serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. It is perfectly legal for him to fire any - or all - of the U.S. attorneys for any reason at all.
In March of 1993, the Clinton administration fired all 93 federal prosecutors with absolutely no fanfare. No controversy. No congressional subpoenas or public hearings.
But the House of Representatives - and now a Senate panel as well - have issued the ''OK'' for subpoenas of key aides to the President. This is a significant issue!
Stand with the ACLJ now in this imperative matter and voice your support of President Bush and his constitutional authority by joining our online COMMITTEE TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
A constitutional challenge has been issued. The liberal-leaning House of Representatives is pushing hard, putting on the pressure, grasping at whatever means possible to defy the President. True to form, the political spectacle is being led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
This is unprecedented in United States history. The Constitution grants the executive privilege. A move to subpoena the President's top aides, such as Karl Rove or Harriet Miers, and force them to testify under oath sets up a political showdown unlike any we have ever seen.
Make no mistake: if the President's top White House aides are compelled to testify publicly, this issue will end at the Supreme Court of the United States.
And we at the ACLJ are going to be there every step of the way. We will not back down in the face of blatant politicking and political pandering. We ask that President Bush stand firm ... and come out fighting.
Who runs this country ... President Bush or Nancy Pelosi?
I urge you to add your name to our online COMMITTEE TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION right now. I want to deliver to the White House tens of thousands of names of United States citizens who will be standing strong beside our President in the face of this significant issue.
Stand with the Constitution and with our President today.
Thank you!

this is so true..the Constitution is being eroded daily FL!..great read.:)
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, it is SOP for incoming Presidents to change the team of US attorneys from the preceding administration. I think that a check of history will support this.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, the question is a midterm dismissal of selected attorneys. I believe that the facts will show that this is different from what President Clinton did when he entered office in 1992, or when other previous administrations changed.
Of course...
1. THE ALARMING HEALTH OF THE US ECONOMY
ReplyDeleteThe health of U.S. has been on the rocks ever since the Gramm-Rudmann-Hollings Law was amended/scrapped by President Bush. The Repercussions on the Consumer/Common man on the street will be felt when the Debt Servicing gets to above 3 Percent of GDP. which it already is. That means inflation will follow for the next 5-7 years followed by a Period of Stagflation possibly 3 years i.e. I see Interest rates back above double digits in 7-10 years. with the economy performing poorly. Recession should show its indication from 2009. Outflow of investments should pick up speed 2009 onwards. Bankruptcies to double in the next 5 years. Unemployment to double in next 5 years. The USD to FALL , the Stock market to Fall to 7,000 levels . The banking sector to lead the way as FDIC doesn’t have enough money to bail out a Top 20 US Bank. The Blame (I Feel) goes ALL to US Congress-Senate especially PRESIDENT BUSH for his policies to gain Votes and popularity NOW at the cost of the Future of the US People as the Consumer/Common people in USA will feel the HIT 5-7 years down the road in a Big way. First Recession followed by Stagflation after 3-5 years will and should be hitting the economy in 2009 onwards as the
Sub-Prime Mortgage crises is ONLY the forewarning of worse gloom and doom to follow.
UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TWIN DEFICITS ARE CONTROLLED NAMELY BUDGET AND TRADE DEFICITS THEN IF DEVALUATION OF THE DOLLAR ON A MASSIVE SCALE PLUS SPENDING CUTS ARE CARRIED OUT THE BALOON WILL BURST SOONER RATHER THAN LATER SPELLING GLOOM AND DOOM ON A FAR MASSIVE SCALE THAN 1929 (GREAT DEPRESSION).
Who is going to Bail out the USA ? EU ? World Bank ? IMF ? Japan ? China ? Who ???
Have your forgotten that the Governement has increased TAX on OIL and is earning Billions every year and even then the situation is worsening.
Note what I have written down now as Time will tell you IF I am right or wrong.
