3. Here ya go

CAPITOL HILL (AP) - A Senate panel is demanding some documents from the White House and from Vice President Cheney's office.

The Judiciary Committee today issued a subpoena for documents related to President Bush's program involving eavesdropping without warrants.

2. I'll KICK THIS just for that great graphic!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I really have no hope that Darth Cheney is going
to comply with any subpoena, though.

4. No way in hell.

He'll just decide to not comply, just like Condi did. Cheney is above the law. He does not need to abide by it. Just ask him, he'll tell you. :sarcasm:

5. Well, if he doesn't...

...the Sergeant-at-Arms is empowered to arrest him. If the Secret Service agents threaten the SAA with their subguns, BAM! Instant impeachment.

7. No then its instant martial law

Followed by the suspension of Constitutional rights, the dissolution of Congress, and the establishment of the thousand year Bush regime.

Sorry. I'm among those not feeling optimistic about this, and it just screams for another consolidation of power by these fuckers, much like they did after 9/11 and continue to use the smoldering ruins and broken bodies of our fallen to keep themselves on top.

8. In that case, are you armed?

If not, find a gun store near you and stock up for the long winter ahead...

Keep in mind that this is strictly in relation to the worst-case scenario.

9. No, sadly guns make me nervous, especially

with a little one in the house. I figure I'll just have to start cultivating friends in high places. Or just be so non-offensive as to be invisible. I'm average looking, make average pay, quiet, polite, non-offensive, heck I can be invisible in broad daylight in the mall.

Seriously, I have no idea what to do for the days ahead, for they look dark to me.
