Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Can you point me to the scathing email
reality you are refering to?

If it was the email you linked to at the beginning of this thread, that email shows how involved Gonzales was in determing the mechanics of the firings, what it doesn't show is was pushing this at the white house. Could have been Gonzales, but I think Rove is still the much more likely candidate.

Either way, the white house pushed through set section in the 2nd patroit act that allowed them to do this and they used it.

Congress needs to be alot more determined not to let legislation slipped through like this again.

New So now you agree with me?
The email that created all the stir is the one I linked. So now, you see, why I question what all the stir is about?

And again, the fact that the act was rubber stamped by D and R alike seems to be dismissed because it was "slipped in there".

Round and round we go.

New No I don't
Because I am not sure what you believe. Who pushed the firings through?

I believe that without Rove's approval it wouldn't have happened. It looks like they were trying to swing the voting towards the republicans in certain states - elections are Rove's area and I don't believe anyone in this administration steps on his toes, except shrub.

Could have been Gonzalas, but I don't think so. He has his issues regarding the blocking of investigations that might bite him in the ass.

Unfortunately, Congresses has probably let way too legislation be voted on without their intimate knowledge of the details. This is a long term issue to get congress to take responsibility for the legislation they pass.

The firings are an immediate issue. It may have been legal, but the ags need to be able to do their jobs without worrying that they will lose their job if they chose the law over politics.

New If not Rove, who *did* push it?

Kip Hawley is still an idiot.
