1. Conyers is a true Patriot! nt

[goforit]

41. YESSSS!!!!.....He has truely beeen the most consistant official in 6 years!!!

[goclark]

44. He led with the Ohio voter mess

and he has been against the war from the 1st,he takes no prisoners.

[Kurovski]

43. It amazes me anew that America has reached such a low state

of decline, and has such a casual acquaintance with corruption, that we now consider folks true patriots simply for doing their jobs.

But there it is, I guess. :patriot:

[Blackhatjack]

2. Write this down in your history books, this is a monumental act ...

... the dye will be cast and there will be no way to avoid a 'constitutional crisis' since there is no way all of these are going to testify.

[kaygore]

29. You have to hand it to Conyers. He has had the balls all along!

[burythehatchet]

36. Having aged into their late 70's they are doubtless low-hanging

balls. But they are massive nonetheless.

[Horse with no Name]

45. Thanks for the lovely visual

:thumbsup:

[Kurovski]

52. I agree, thank you!

;-):D

[notadmblnd]

39. I love me some John conyers

I don't know exactly what it is, but that gentleman floats my boat.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

55. This is a necessary step on the road to impeachment

This took courage and Conyers didn't bat an eye.

Now we'll see how it plays in the courts. Clinton's aides didn't get exempted from testifying because of executive privilege.

If they refuse to talk, they look very bad to the 75% of Americans who aren't goose-stepping yes men. When enough of these people understand what is happening, votes to convict BushCo will materialize in the senate.

Nixon's stonewalling got old quickly.

Yes!!!! :bounce:

5. Always fighting the good fight

What a wonderful world this would be had John Conyers been given the gavel in January 2003.

Wish I could vote for him!

:loveya:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Go, John!

It's just become a really good day.

[Botany]

10. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the others.

Conyers, Sanchez, Waxman, Leahy, Jay Rockefeller, Pelosi, Schummer, Feinstein,
and others are coming to get bush.

The White House has 2 choices

1) Give them the documents & people that are requested and face impeachment because
the truth will kill those bastards

b) Fight em and don't answer the subpoenas and trigger a Constitutional crises. At the end of
which is their impeachment.

[Patsy Stone]

13. And you are mine

Do not tell the others.

[npincus]

7. "consider" or "authorize" subpeonas?

are they one and the same?

[Tuesday_Morning]

8. A big fat

K & R!

[C_U_L8R]

9. don't forget those GWB43.com emails

I'm sure there are other shadow communication networks...
unregistered cell phones where calls aren't logged, etc...
Hope Conyers smokes em out of their snake holes.

[longship]

11. Recommended and kicked

:kick:

[Roland99]

12. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glitch]

14. Kicking for my favorite Congressman. Along with Henry Waxman :) nt

[BonnieJW]

15. Sorry, I'm confused.

I thought Leahey was getting them to testify in the Senate?? How does this work?

[ClintonTyree]

32. The "White House", meaning Bush.....

won't allow it, or so he says. :eyes: He WILL allow Rove and Miers to answer questions behind closed doors but NOT under oath. Oh really, Mr. Bush? Looks like it's time for the subpoenas to start flying. Bush has given the finger to the Constitution one too many times, it's time to pay the piper. Bush knows his administration is guilty as sin and it goes all the way up to him. If it comes to a Constitutional crisis it's of his doing, there's no one else to blame. All of these years he's been used to an Imperial Presidency with absolutely no oversight. Now the worm has turned, or will be turned. The worm being, Bush, of course. :)

[Vidar]

16. Recommended for Conyers.

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. K & R!

:woohoo:

:kick:

[lebkuchen]

18. I am so sick of "closed doors" from this administration

I want everything out in the open and under oath from now on.

[Sequoia]

59. Right....open the door!!!!

[lebkuchen]

60. LOL!

After a long day, I needed that.

god, it will be so good to get rid of the evil dorks in govt.

[Javaman]

19. So what does this mean now that a "deal" was cut regarding

turd blossoms testimony?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

40. The "deal" was offered not cut.

The answer, apparently, was "Hell, NO!"

[Javaman]

49. Fantastic!!!

I was scared that they caved.

[SeattleGirl]

20. Yes!!!!!

:bounce:

[ThomWV]

21. Finally!

I could not be more pleased. Democrats can no lose this one. If they testify they swing, if they don't testify the public sees them for what they are, cowards who are defrauding the people of the United States of America while they wage war across the world. The only problem is that they have already stacked the Court to save themselves.

[malaise]

22. K & R

Down go the fascists. Gonzo is a goner.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

23. AwwwwRIGHT!!!

Yes! Yes!! YES!!!

[David Zephyr]

24. Our Democrats in the House show those in the Senate how to operate.

While the Senate contemplates Bush's "offer" of Rove without taking the oath, our House Democrats react in proper fashion.

[notadmblnd]

25. please someon tell him to go after the RNC server they use to skirt

the white house e-mail system. I put money on it that that GW, Rove and Gonzo all use it.

[Tigress DEM]

26. OOO How techie of you!

[paparush]

33. You think W** knows how to email. He can barely use THE GOOGLE!

[notadmblnd]

38. I do, it don't take no rocket scientist to get out there and cruise the tubes

I imagine the little monkey has spent more than his fair share of time visiting porn sites and chatrooms. Yes, he'd know how to use e-mail. They don't call it yahoo for nothing.

[heatstreak]

27. kick

[porphyrian]

28. Good man. - n/t

[Marie26]

30. Here's the showdown

I don't think Bush will let Miers or Rove testify. They know WAAAYY too much. He'll do the same thing he did during the NSA wiretap scandal - boldly assert "executive privilege" to break the law & wait it out. But Conyers & Leahy won't give up like the Repuke Congress did.

[SpiralHawk]

31. And then it will go eventually to the Supreme Court

a bastion of corrupt, and sexually deviant republicon cronies.

Why do republicons hate America?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

51. Won't need to go to the SCROTUS

See U.S. v. Nixon. Executive privilege was shot down as a blanket excuse for not releasing stuff. Must be a good reason to invoke it. Doesn't always work.

[rockymountaindem]

34. Where are all the people who are "really becoming disappointed in this Congress" now?

I can't hear you...

[Straight Shooter]

35. bush's determination not to let them testify under oath is convincing people they are lying.

He's making a mockery of our justice system.

Someone tell that sonofabitch NO!!!

[halobeam]

37. Seems I've missed a day NOT to miss... oh boy.

Tell me, please, was Bush on before or after the OP was written? How does it stand now? I'm just biting my fingernails.

[notadmblnd]

42. the pretzledent spoke at approx 5:30 pm est

this was posted at noon.

[LaPera]

46. K&R!

[IWantAChange]

47. Huge K&R - Rep Conyers will do the job that needs be done - poppin my corn now!

[grannylib]

48. Way to go!! I hope ALL the Democrats will keep the pressure up

RELENTLESSLY; they've been gutless wonders long enough. Time to grow a set and do their jobs.

[BattyDem]

50. I've said it before and I'll say it again ...

I LOVE THIS MAN!!! :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[Hekate]

53. "Let the sun shine in" from the musical Hair is playing in my mind

Next it will be a little boogy for my Schadenfreude Dance.

This is soooooo wonderful. :-)

[mtnHov]

54. hang on tight...the spin should be epic.

you know the cabal is up pounding coffee, scheming about how to slime their way out of this.

[ourvoicescount]

56. Conyers is a great American!

From the rawstory article:
"Late afternoon, White House counsel Fred Fielding offered to allow Rove and Miers to give unsworn testimony behind closed doors, according to a report on MSNBC, and later confirmed on CNN. The pair would not be testifying under oath, and the White House also doesn't want transcripts made of the testimony."

Those chicken sh!t bastards... I'm so sick and tired of not under oath testimonies. Like Bush / Cheney and events of 911...

[nolabels]

57. I kind of wondered why anybody would even listen to any verbiage from any of them

They entire * administration are all proven swindlers and crooks. Unless those criminals are put under oath the words from their lips are all just about worthless and probably lies at any rate.

[Kablooie]

58. Most of the rest of Bush's term will be about the pejury trials
