now we know why they let the "Independent Council Statute" DIE!!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

so that this Wilson CIA wife's thing could NOT be brought before it!!!
The "independent Council Statute" was to be voted to be reinstated every 5 years since the aftermath of Watergate and 2000 was that year....i hate the GOP :nuke:
these basturds are the most insidious bunch the world has seen since Hitler! :grr: :grr: :grr:

1. I think the Dems also wanted it to expire

because it was abused so badly by Ken Starr.

2. fools!

[liberalnurse]

3. I thought the same thing when they, the dems

were letting it expire. Knowing how they, the repugs, just stole the 2000 election. Repugs had already given us a taste of the meal they had planned!

4. Bush to the Special Prosecutor Request: "Bring em on"

err...uhhh I mean run and hide.

5. Similar in nature to the Line-item veto

GOP pushed for it (and Clinton wanted it, too!). Got signed into law.

November 1996, Clinton gets re-elected.

Whoops, a (GOP friendly?) Democrat is coerced into being the point person for declaring it unconstitutional. GOP doesn't fight for it much once a Dem is the one vetoing the line items.
