Vice President Cheney Is Above America And Its Laws


See Original Story


So it seems that Vice President Cheney is above America and its Laws. He has resisted routine oversight of his office’s handling of classified information. No one is good enough in America to ask anything of this man.

When Cheney resisted, the National Archives unit that monitors classification in the executive branch objected, the vice president’s office suggested abolishing the oversight unit and the Information Security Oversight Office, as simple as that.

“I know the vice president wants to operate with unprecedented secrecy,” Mr. Waxman said in an interview. “But this is absurd. This order is designed to keep classified information safe. His argument is really that he’s not part of the executive branch, so he doesn’t have to comply.”

Mr. Cheney and his legal adviser, David S. Addington, did not believe that the executive order applied to the vice president’s office because it had a legislative as well as an executive status in the Constitution.

What do we do when a Vice President is out of control and above the law that the President comes under?

UPDATE: According to RAW; Following Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that his office is not a part of the executive branch of the US government, Democratic Caucus Chairman Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) plans to introduce an amendment to the the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to cut funding for Cheney's office.

Broom Sweeping The Republican Mistakes

The Democrats are sweeping away the Republican's mistake little by little. They are restoring rights the Bush Administration and the Republican majority took away from us.

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill to restore habeas corpus, you know the one that gives us the right to challenge government detention in court.

Habeas corpus was revoked last year by the Military Commissions Act, which is unconstitutional. The Republicans gave away this right as they have most all to this President.

The habeas bill can now be brought to the Senate floor by Senator Reid as soon as next month. Just remember King George could veto any legislation dealing with this issue and any others that take away from his powers.

I never wish for time to move foward fast, but I must say it will be great when this President is called former President.

FOX REMOVED ITS VIDEO CLIPS OF CLINTON FROM YOUTUBE


Screenshot


Fox has removed its video clips of the interview with former President Bill Clinton.

If there is anyone who hasn't seen the video, you can always go to ThinkProgress.org and see the clip and its transcript of the interview at ThinkProgress.org.

I watched Hannity tonight and how he and his guest change the truth as they see it. How is it that most Republicans watch this man night after night and believe everything that he and his friends say?

This is just why America is in the mess that it's in right now. With all the lies that George Bush has told us we are finding out now that they are just that, lies.

We have lost over 2700 men and women in a war that he just had to have for what ever his reasons were and just as Clinton stated in the interview with Wallace.

Bush has spent money in a made up war, when that money could have been used to pay for the war in Afghanistan, to help secure our borders and to help our seniors pay for a medical plan that seems to be for the pharmacy companies.

What say you America?

WOMEN BEING REFUSED REFILLS ON PLAN B

Evangelical pharmacists at a CVS drugstore refuse to refill birth control pills.

Thousands, of physicians and pharmacists are now adhere to a controversial belief that birth control pills and other forms of hormonal contraception--including the skin patch, the vaginal ring, and progesterone injections--cause tens of thousands of "silent" abortions every year. Consequently, they are refusing to prescribe or dispense them.

Would it be fair if a man is asked about what his plans are for useing viagra, or cialis?

What if he's asked to show proof of marriage before being prescribed these durgs?

Is it right for a doctor or pharmacists not to honor a womans prescription for birth control?

HOW DOES JOE LIEBERMAN AS DEFENSE SECRETARY SOUND

Yes I said it, How does Joe Lieberman as Defense Secretary sound? It may be that Donald Rumsfeld might be out next year and Gordon England seems to be to close to thinking the same way as Rumsfeld. Bush, for some reason has been getting words of Lieberman for this, Lieberman for that, well maybe Lieberman for Defense Secretary.

How this would play out if Lieberman gets the job, might not be so good for America. You see, if Lieberman was Secretary of Defense, America would have a problem with the Middle East because Lieberman is Jewish and that would cause a big problem with muslims.

I think that Joe Lieberman is a good man, just go to his web site and take a look around it, you'll see that most of what is there is help for others, but when it comes to him being named Defense Secretary, then I think that's a bad idea. So Mr Bush, please get some good advice on this one and make a good decision that want cause more turmoil in that region.
