All presidents turn over their appointed attorneys at the start of their presidency. What is causing alarm in this incident is these were selectively fired (alligedely) for either prosicuting Republicans, or not prosicuting Democrats. Allogations are even that certain members of Congress made calls to some of these people and "encouraged" them to prosicute their Democratic opponents right before the last election.
Lets just get on with the hearings, and if as some of you seem to think, nothing of substance is there, then nothing will happen.
The people that the White House is trying to keep off the record, are people who have a habbit of not telling the truth to anybody, so they should be on the record, sworn in.
No. He is implementing Presidential privledge. If he backs down to them now, what will they try next? If he lets them set a precedence here, every president from this point on will have to deal with it.
You obviously don't know (nor apparantelly does this White House) what presidental privledge is about. Eisenhower started it. It is to protect private communications between the president and his advisors. It was not intended to protect any body's conversation with whoever that whatever president may wish not to be told, just conversations between the president and his advisors. This is so he could get differing opinions (apparantelly no problem with this particular president since he dosn't listen to any)
This particular president has so overstepped the bounds of his office that he seems to consider himself more of a king or emperior. He has made himself too powerful, and should be contained into the duties given him by the Constitution.
I don't blame him for not wanting all this- and probably a lot more- to come out. I wouldn't either if I were in his position, but this country, which I love, has been so badly damaged by this man, that drastic measures need to be taken to restore the constitutional limits placed on him.
Any 'Ole country boy knows the way to get all the vermin out from under a log, is to turn it over and let the sun shine on it. We need to do the same to this administration.
Why do you seem to not have any problem prosicuting Clinton in word constantally for a sex scandel, but don't think that Bush should be held to some kind of accountability?
