Whew! At least we know we have Pelosi in the House to continue her fight to hold the Bush administration accountable. Oh wait ...

Jim Webb? Wow, what a huge disappointment. I campaigned for him, something I have rarely done in my life.

Oh, and Jay Rockefeller -- I guess we can expect Part II any day now? (snark)

Agreed. In my own small polling sample, (

A small sample, I know, but I get the feeling it's plausibly representative.

I don't suppose writing some strongly worded letters of our own would make Pelosi put impeachment back on the table. Nonetheless, in my naivete, Mukasey has inspired me to do just that. For the first time, I wrote to Pelosi expressing my outrage. One letter won't do anything, I know. Maybe 10,000? 100,000?

And why is impeachment off the table? Too much trouble? A backroom deal? Is she worried about the polls (as though they could go any lower)?

At least Bush is straightforward about subverting the Constitution. He puts it right out there. What is it that's behind Pelosi's subversion of the rule of law? It's the great mystery of our time.

Doesn't this come under "ignorance of the law is no excuse"? Seems pretty cut and dried to me. But then, I'm no lawyer.
