I like your email address.

What events are those?

Those in the news. Subpeona's blocked, logs destroyed, etc. You know
the drill.

Executive priviledge exists for a reason.

In this case, yes - keeping them from being exposed, right? Kinda
like in the Nixon Watergate days.

It can be broken for good cause.

What exactly can be broken?

Getting rid of evidence to conceal a crime is risky because it can
be prosecuted..

It can be prosecuted if it can be proven. It can be proven if there
is evidence. But alas, there can be no evidence, because there is
executive priviledge. See MC Hammer lyrics - "U Can't Touch This" -
Perhaps they should use that as the theme song at the GOP convention.

Not just to GOP.

Right now, that's where all the evidence points - When you have
Hassert (Speaker) & crew protecting and defending Foley (Pedophile) -
it's not to difficult for the average American like myself to draw my
own conclusions about the severity of issues were discussing.

Just about everyone in political power has something to hide.

Possibly because everyone is human. Honestly the Bill and Monica
thing really didn't phase me that much. But Foley - that was a big
big boom boom, right in the middle of the halls of Congress.

Until a strong independent political investigative bureau (not the
FBI) comes into being, it will continue business as usual.

Great another level of bureaucracy - the head of which is appointed by
the President, right? In either case, I referred to the DOJ as being
corrupt, of which the FBI is but a finger. Probably the thumb.

The corruption exists in other legislative bodies throughout the
world too.

I don't live around the world, but thanks for the information.

Resurrecting someone from 250 years ago is going to do what to
solve problems in the present world?

Simple. I would trust the framers of the Constitution to suspend that
which they felt was being abused by a system which they themselves
paid dearly to ensure could never occur here in the US. And yet, here
we are.

No one is required to testify at his/her trial, so no truth or
falsehood need be uttered. Telling lies is not a capital offence

That's the beauty of it. The framers could make that determination.
Since the current administration dispenses with this article or that,
I'm sure the framers would see fitting to return the favor. Then
telling lies under oath could be a capital offense for our capital
offenders. I'm quite certain Libby knew he'd never see the
inside of a jail cell long before he went to trial. But if he knew he
would be facing the gallows, I'm pretty sure he would have sang like a
song bird.

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.

Do tell. A sophisticated lab, really? I would think that the
difference between Ragweed and Maui-Wowi would be rather obvious.

Those problems are well known, and will probably be heavily
scrutinized by the losers. Expect recording printers to be
required.

And the comfort in that expectation lies where. Could you provide
some technical justification for implying that having a recording
printer should alleviate my concerns as a voter?

I mean McDonald's gives me a receipt and a printed grill ticket which
says I ordered a Quarter Pounder with NO PICKLES, and yet I open the
box and there's my Quarter Pounder WITH PICKLES on it.

Anyway, as a programmer, I'm fairly certain that I can prove, that you
can't prove, that my vote will be accurately counted. But please, do
attempt to alleviate my concerns.

Anyway, I haven't been to the Circle Pines area lately - how's the
weather there?
