Larry, I know I've mentioned this before, but you certainly have a way with words. Thankfully, there are some 32 bit float cats out there..
About the potential prosecution of the President and/or Vice President and their Mob of nut jobs who almost did us in as a nation. {sigh}..
I admit I'm on the fence.. I want them to be held accountable. I really do.. But this would need to take place with the seriosness and calmness that Obama brings to the table, but HE would not be the guy turning the key on this thing. In other words, the only thing that should ever be said about it should directly relate to the Law of the land, and NOT to any partisan points being made.
If we can find agreement with some serious republicans in the House to move this forward, it would be very helpful. I believe there are republicans in both the House and Senate who understand the implications of allowing these crimes to be swept under the rug. There is either bipartisan agreement that Law and Order matters, or there is not. Barry and others make the relevant point that doing nothing leaves an open door the size of an aircraft hanger exit through which a later President could push lawlessness to a whole new level. This is a frightening thing to consider. One would think that alarm bells would be sounding in the minds of Liberals and Conservative alike, given that we are now discovering what a refusal to "look Down The Road" has done to the nation. We are dearly paying for our own lack of foresight and I hope we've learned something.
Smart people from both sides of the political prison yard must agree to do the right thing, or we risk it blowing up in our face..
The world isn't always fair..
