Karl Rove...why is he so untouchable?

Is the U.S. Congress slipping in its responsibility to make Karl Rove appear getting less and less importance? He is appearing all over the country and still he has not been picked up for Contempt of Congress. Regular citizens have tried and failed but at least they have more guts to do what Congress won't do. Making a citizen's arrest which is the right of all citizens have proved to no avail. What is one to do when we as Americans recognize that there are two systems of justice in this country. The Democrats who are supposed to be in control seems to be stymied by any attempt to get him to testify. If an ordinary citizen were to ignore a subpoena to appear, they would be breaking down the door to make sure that you do. When are the Democrats and Republicans going to do the right thing. Does Mr. Rove have a immunity cloak around him that makes him untouchable? He needs to be held accountable for issues that needs to be addressed that may point to the impeachment of the present administration. Is there anyone out there who might have the solution of this very pressing issue?

Civil Liberties threatened still again

In this year of turmoil, scandal and misinformation, I find it very disheartening that our Congress is still passing laws that compromises our Constitutional rights in the name of homeland security. Since 911 the passage of the Patriot Act there have been a steady stream of laws designed to protect us from terrorism but in my opinion, this atmosphere of fear that has been dumped on Americans is nothing but placing more restrictions against us inside this country. Federal agents now have the power to seize laptops, cell phones, PDAs, cameras, video equipment and any device that can record or transmit information at the border. Why did our representative pass this law in lieu of the fact that Americans are getting suspicious of the governments attempt to keep us off balance as it has been since 911. In 2006, the nation spoke and told our representatives that our government was broken and they needed to fix it. Instead, there have been a steady stream of laws designed to make us less safe and more leery of those who are suppose to represent us. The Bush White House even in its lame duck status is going to impact us with more of his BS laws before their tenure is up.

Lavena Johnson suicide was not a suicide

Why is this issue being ignored and not investigated. Why is the U.S. Army covering this up. Why hasn't here more public outcry on this heinous crime. How can they come to the conclusion that she committed suicide. What kind of country is this to have allowed this to go unanswered. Those who find out about this incident is outraged to the fact that you have not heard anything from MSM about it. This brings up the question of accountability when it comes to the private contractors. Iraq wants them out of their country because of the numerous attrocities that have been committed on their citizens. But the fact remains that this was a soldier of our military and nothing has been done about the Army's role in this matter.

what is wrong with our legislative process?

After watching the meltdown on Cspan after the vote was taken on the Agriculture bill, I began to wonder if the Republicans are having temper tantrums because of procedures when the vote tally was announced. The speaker pro-temp announced the tally as being the ayes 112 the nayes 112. Shortly thereafter the vote tally changed because both parties had changed their vote. The Majority whip asked if the vote could be vacated at which time the Republicans protested because the vote did not carry the motion which ended with the ayes 212 and the nayes 216. The Republicans protested by loudly voicing their displeasure with the motion not being carried. This went on for about 15-20 minutes until the Majority whip asked to vacate the vote again. The speaker pro-temp asked for a voice vote but so much confusion insued that he announced another electric vote. In response most of the Republicans walked out and did not vote on the measure. I can remember when they were the Majority party and they pretty much conducted business without any regard to what the Minority party objected to. Why is it that they can act like adolescents when they don't get their way and I can only imagine what the atmosphere will be once the impeachment question hits the floor.
