Conyers, very concerned and looking into VP: A Law Unto Himself

[cal04]

You may have been following the Washington Post's piece on the vice-president's interpretation of his office that leaves him outside executive branch oversight. I am very concerned about this and will be looking into this matter closely.

If you haven't seen these articles, you should read Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.

Maureen Dowd also wrote a great op-ed on the subject yesterday.

3. Is that the op-ed where she compares him to Voldemort?

5. did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

I trade you my Congressperson Deb :puke: Pryce for
John Conyers straight up.

deal?

8. Nope -- you can keep her

or vote her out next time!

He's not mine anyway, but I am proud that he's from Michigan.

9. We did vote her out but .....

... Ohio and votes .... not so much.

Mary Jo Kilroy had a 12+ point lead, Pryce had never polled above 44%, and Fox News
exit polls had called it for Kilroy by 4points @ 8:30 PM on election night. Then Pyrce
got 50.1% of the vote and was re-elected.

10. Sounds about par for the course

6. No vice-president is above the law!

The vice-president works for the American people so there should be oversight in his affairs that relate to the American people. If the vice-president feels he is above oversight than he should not be working for or being paid by the American people.

7. And why are we expecting Conyers to DO anything about this?

He is abiding by Pelosi's wishes to keep impeachment off the table. So what can we reasonably expect him to do after he looks into this matter closely?

11. Good. Please do. - n/t

12. Mr. Conyers, in the aftermath of the 2004 election steal, Your brave

talk gave many of us our brightest hope. However, since our votes have actually given you the power to act decisively, you have done nothing but backpedal. Brave talk is no longer enough. Make us proud again.
