Alberto Gonzales isn’t a liar. He only hid the truth.

What does then, the phrase “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” mean to America?

Nothing, apparently. Nothing at all.

•  ….”How would you like to walk into court with Alberto Gonzales as your attorney?He actually gives a profession that has a bad name a bad name.What kind of a judicial system do they have in Texas where Harriet Meiers and Alberto Gonzales can be the stars.Is Judge Roy Bean still presiding there?”….

Well Thomas, you bring up some scary stuff. But, just as a piece of trivia, Gonzo has NEVER participated in a court trial. EVER….not in his entire “lawyer” career. He has never tried a case before a jury, in a court of law, despite the fact that he was appointed as the State Supreme Court Justice in Texas, under the Shrub’s reign there.

And, it is the likes of people like him/them, that give the legal profession a bad name. In reality, most legal professionals are pretty passionate about upholding the law, and are committed to the Constitution, and to the concept of Justice. It has always pained me to realize that it seems to be the “crooks” who gain a reputation for the entire field, because it is so foundational to our entire society. 

I would also like to point out, that Texas is a nation unto it’s own, in so far as the legal set-up goes. There is in fact a joke in the communities of legal scholars, that all “bad law” originates in Texas. That is probably a slight exaggeration, since the occasional stupid or negative law pops up in other areas as well. But, overall, it’s a pretty valid assessment.

In other words, I don’t think Gonzo could ever have become a Supreme in any other state, and probably not even in Texas, before the Shrubs took it over. Same thing with Harriet Miers. Only in Texas. And yep, the bastard Roy is probably still around, and “judging”. What can I say? It’s not entirely unlike Mississippi or Alabama, or any of the other neighboring states as they existed back in the pre-Civil Rights Movement, which has never removed them entirely. The Shurb’s regime has certainly not promoted “progress” in this area. Cronyism rules.

BUT…even Texas has it’s spots of blue, (Austin) and it’s patriots….Molly Ivins, whom we miss. And, scattered about, there are others. (It’s still a 3rd world country though):).

Ardee, quoting you here:

There is a very good reason that Justice is deliberate yet inexorable, and I will not be shaken from my belief in the ultimate punishments being meted out here. These guys are just too damn stupid to escape!

I dunno Ardee, because in cases of “Justice”, it’s not always and/or even necessarily “satisfied” by ultimate punishments, since even Punishments, are in the eyes of the beholder.

I actually see a very good chance that ALL of these criminals will disappear into the sunsets of South America, (george) the msyterious and RICH lands of the Middle Eastern shores and deserts, (cheney) and the beautiful Pacific sunsets of the California Bays, (Condi and Pelosi) and who knows where all of the others might aleady have their escape routes and destinations planned. All I know is that these off-shore accounts have been overwhelmingly nested, and all stand ready and waiting, for when the operation ends.

And…THAT, would probably be the BEST outcome. (considering the alternatives). Maybe the best we can hope for, is that they don’t set us all on fire as they make their get-away.

I just don’t see Justice or punishment in the future. I’d settle for them to just—- BE GONE!!!

So, the message is still the same. IMPEACH them all, and do it today!! We must do unto them, before they have a chance to finish UNDOING the rest of us.

To impeach.

Kick Nancy impeachment is off the table Pelosi out of office by voting for Cindy Sheehan to replace her. 

Let’s bring our soldiers home NOW!  Not tomorrow.  Now!  Every day means more will die in vain.

I’m a California Republican who supported Nancy Pelosi thinking justice would come.  Now?  Vote for Cindy!

Then one would hope this jack ass of a A.G. would be drug out of office.

The wheels of Justice grind exceedingly slowly, but exceedingly fine.

There is a very good reason that Justice is deliberate yet inexorable, and I will not be shaken from my belief in the ultimate punishments being meted out here. These guys are just too damn stupid to escape!

We’ve got some additional “new language” here. Lying is no longer lying. The JD aides have agreed that gonzo has “caused confusion” by his -LINGUISTIC PARSING- and so the next step is to find somebody to figure out if any of this ‘linguistic parsing’ could have been outright LYIN’ and DENYIN’ old-fashioned style; perjury and obstruction, and related crimes.

•  “After Mr. Gonzales’s most recent testimony on Tuesday, Justice Department aides acknowledged in a background briefing for reporters that the attorney general had caused confusion by his “linguistic parsing.” A special counsel, if one is named, would presumably try to determine if any of Mr. Gonzales’s ambiguous statements were outright lies.”

Here’s more. We’re definitely well into the coup that began 7 years ago, when this cabal first high-jacked our Republic.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/072707C.shtml

It’s scary.

I ditto rage.

There’s also the issue that Ernest brought up on another thread, that has been on my mind for some years now…

ALL of these guys can be tried (and most likely convicted) in the international courts, for crimes against humanity. MANY of them.

I’m sure that SOMEBODY in this crowd, (the Cabal) must know that, even if it isn’t gonzo.(although he probably knows it as well.)

That leaves it up to us, to just get on with the impeachment process. They ALL have to go. Gonzo has already made clear he’s not gonna do it any more willingly than the rest of them.

Time to get to it. (although I still like Rage’s plan for him…just so we keep him alive long enough to appear before the ICC.)

Alberto Gonzales isn’t a liar. He only hid the truth.

Let’s all hope that the internicene quibbling by the senate panel regarding perjury by the AG is a mere tactic of an overall strategy to go after the reasons behind the coverups: Torture and warrantless domestic spying.

I for one am deeply saddened that there are political expediency rationalizations given for comissions of acts of evil. Evil in that attempting to codify torture, that there are certain inalienable rights which trump the power of any government; and to which there is an absolute personal duty to repudiate.
