Each time Bush & Co has turned their noses at Congress knowing that there is no way the congressional branch can get the executive branch to comply. The contempt of congress citation is useless a US Attorney prosecutes it, which the US Attorney has already responded that he will not,"Brian A. Benczkowski, principal deputy assistant attorney general, cited the department's "long-standing" position, "articulated during administrations of both parties, that the criminal contempt of Congress statute does not apply to the president or presidential subordinates who assert executive privilege." http://dzarkhan.wordpress.com/2007/07/25 /house-democrats-push-contempt-citations /]. Their really is no other way for congress to enforce it's will at the moment. So were does this leave congress, inherent contempt I guess. It would be interesting to see that play out.

Dems are also calling for a special counsel to investigate it Gonzales lied, but even that is up to Bush to decide and we already know what his decision will be. This attempt at obstruction of justice is big and the paper trail is huge. How do you get to a liar who is protected by a president? It would seem trivial if it were just that one liar, but there is surfacing evidence that Bush & Co may have been involved in other illegal activities i.e. targeting a specific group of voters (African Americans) in FL and Ohio and who knows where else during the 2004 elections a tactic known as Voter Caging was used by the republican party and may have been approved by the White House (after Bush was appointed to the White House in 2000 they did not want a repeat). This was the highlighted in a NOW piece on pbs.org. This a must see http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/330/index.h tml. video. http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/330/video.h tml

I came away from that news piece thinking that this White House thinks they are above the law, and in many ways they are. The only option is for this country to impeach Bush and Cheney. You can't impeach one without the other. I had how Samuel L. Jackson put it 'what alcoholics call a moment of clarity". The integrity of the congress and the White House is at stake. Congress is at risk of becoming a speed bump. This point is protecting this country from the tyranny of the few.
