You of all people should be old enough to know that evidence can be

Recent events seem to prove that sentence is completely false. Even
if executive priviledge didn't obstruct justice, the paper, email, and
visitor-log shredders surely would.
What events are those? Executive priviledge exists for a reason. It
can be broken for good cause. Getting rid of evidence to conceal a crime is
risky because it can be prosecuted..
Further, I suspect that if the GOP, or Republican HQ, were ever to be
effectively probed, I suspect that the RICO Act would be left bursting
at the seams. But not to worry, the Democrats are, as usual, inept
and incompetent, which is why the GOP is so bold. I think the GOP did
get a little nervous after the last elections, hence why Halliburton
was planning to move to Dubai. In either case, the Dept. of Justice
is just another arm of a very corrupt system.
Not just to GOP. Just about everyone in political power has something
to hide. Including the time before the current administration. That's
because the fox is watching the hen house. Until a strong independent
political investigative bureau (not the FBI) comes into being, it will
continue business as usual. The corruption exists in other legislative
bodies throughout the world too.
Personally, I'd like to resurrect the founding fathers. Especially
the ones that lost their lives and the lives of their family members
for signing the Declaration of Independence which formed this country.
If such a thing were to occur, two things become immediately apparent
to me. First, there would be many new construction jobs here in the
US. And second, Hemp would become a popular agricultural product.
And no, not because you can smoke it (lest ye spin) - many a Schooner
was rigged with miles of rope made from Hemp. All those construction
projects would need a lot of rope. Then Libby, Powell, Cheney, etc.
could have a choice - tell the truth, or face the gallows, with those
ropes of Hemp. There's no lack of evidence, just a lack of justice.
Resurrecting someone from 250 years ago is going to do what to solve
problems in the present world? Telling lies is not a capital offence. No
one is required to testify at his/her trial, so no truth or falsehood need
be uttered. Hemp was grown and used during WWII. Trouble is, a field of
industrial hemp looks just like a field of drug hemp. It takes a
sophisticated lab to tell the difference.
The most concerning issue facing us internally is an election coming
up in 2008 with electronic voting machines. For all of you in the
technology field, or *in the know* as it were, how scary is that?
Those problems are well known, and will probably be heavily scrutinized
by the losers. Expect recording printers to be required.

Mostly irrelevant because politicians screw you legally. Ratch
