That’s why we have to drive the prosecutorial stake through the heart of the Bush-Cheyney years, bury the remains in an unmarked grave, and compact the dirt really well.

Until and unless we definitively destroy the Bush-Cheyney conspiracy, we will all be looking over our shoulders.

Liberal/progressives have to cut one another some slack. Big props to Ericka for amending her earlier comments.</p> Jane, thank you and Glenn for handling this so well.

From his public statements, Obama has instructed the DOJ to do some kind of limited assessment, of what we are not sure, and Obama has seemed to arbitrarily put certain people beyond the scope of any kind of investigation or sanction, with no public accounting.

I understand the importance of the “do-able” in politics, but I do not see how that is an issue here. 2/3 of the public is clearly asking for action, and looking for leadership on this issue, but are not getting it. As usual.

Our government has become a disgraceful empty shell. Need a big push in the next election to put more new people in Congress who are not compromised by the recent government crime spree.

Most liberal bloggers (at least the ones I read) say INVESTIGATE and let the chips fall where they may.
