So subpoenas were issued and ignored and what did Congress do about it?

[Toots]

????????? Is there any reason left to even have a Congress? :shrug: Amerika land of the Bush*

1. Hey! Come on, man! They got pretty steamed!

There was serious finger-wagging going on, let me tell you! And I heard one of the House Democrats say some pretty harsh words - I'm not kidding!

[Canuckistanian]

21. They even sent letters "strongly suggesting dissatisfaction"

Let that be a lesson to the miscreants!

[deutsey]

23. One even shocked everyone by stamping his foot in such a way

as to imply what some would call a perturbed manner.

It was a tense moment followed by an extremely long awkward silence that made everyone feel really uncomfortable.

:eyes:

[Dhalgren]

24. I am sorry, but that is damned funny!

:rofl:

[radfringe]

2. they gave them another absolutely last chance... again

[booksenkatz]

3. Kept our powder dry... clean as a whistle, baby. nt

:(

[babylonsister]

4. Went on vacation?

:shrug:

[msongs]

5. went out and raked in payoffs & goodies from K Street lobbyists??? nt

[MuseRider]

6. You don't mean that

they don't HAVE to take no for an answer? Wow, it has been so long.

[Toots]

7. I am more upset at the lack of accountability than I am at the war funding bill.

The war funding vote was a one time deal (supposedly), the total lack of accountability is the death knell of America...

[Supersedeas]

17. Pelosi and Reid are on the verge of becoming caricatures

[blogslut]

8. Which subpoenas are you referring?

Some have been approved but not issued, like the one for Karl Rove. Condi is indeed ignoring her issued subpoena.

[Toots]

11. To make it much easier let's just ask which one's haven't been ignored

I am sure that is a much much shorter list..

[blogslut]

13. Well

My feeling is that one can't ignore a subpoena that hasn't been issued. Don't get me wrong. As I siad, Condi is trying to ignore hers. I think the DOJ is still holding out on submitting complete evidence that I believe was issued for in subpoena. And I'm not sure if the RNC has turned over their emails and records. There's a bunch of ignoring on already issued subpoenas. this much is true.

[Toots]

14. You listed more that have been ignored but didn't list any that have been obeyed

Why is that? :shrug: Is it possible that you can't come up with any?

[blogslut]

20. Goodling, MacNulty, Sampson, Comey...

Not the rats directly but I've enjoyed the results so far.

[Warren Stupidity]

15. "Condi is trying to ignore hers"

Condi is succeeding in ignoring hers and our 'opposition party' is trying to discover just how far they can work their thumbs up their collective butts on her refusal to submit to their authority.

9. Personally I think they went in the hopper to take a shit,

got shit on their hands, then got shit on their clothes while trying to clean it off their hands, then smeared the shit all over their clothes while trying to clean it, then washed their clothes ignoring the instructions, ruined their clothes because they didn't read the care instructions first, then had to go to the store to buy new clothes...........

by that time it was forgotten...wait, what was it I was talking about?

[Warren Stupidity]

10. If they try to enforce their subpoenas they could LOSE!

So they wont try.

Sound familiar?

[Toots]

12. Are you suggesting "The votes aren't there"?

:shrug:

[Nunyabiz]

16. This Democratic Congress is an embarrassment

Rove, Rice & Gonzales should have already been arrested.

[DeeDeeNY]

18. This is very upsetting

:banghead:

Everyone kept saying "just wait until the Dems have subpoena power."
What good are subpoenas if they can be ignored?

[L. Coyote]

19. Executive Branch a bunch of Crooks and Liars, so the Congress is at Fault?

I would comment on the logic if I could find it.

[Bandit]

22. Congress is not at fault for Bush* Cabal being thugs but they are at fault

for not holding them accountable for it..They have complete authority to enforce their subpoenas yet they don't do it, why is that do you think?

[Beelzebud]

25. We'll issue some stern warnings and threats.

I'm so glad we have an opposition party that knows how to FIGHT!

Oh wait. We don't.
