1. One thing they have forgotten about

they forgot about habeas corpus , if they are found in contempt of congress, they can in theroy be sent to jail without redress from habeas corpus, they killed it,, now let it bite'em in the ass with it.

3. they throw the 5th amendment out on regular citizens

but lo and behold it resurfaces for the Bush Crime family, do I smell a double standard here?
