U.S. House Discovers Constitution -- Helen Thomas
Edited on Thu Jun-01-06 08:14 AM by EarlG
U.S. House Discovers Constitution

Helen Thomas, Hearst White House columnist


Hypocrisy is alive and well on Capitol Hill.

An FBI raid on a congressman's office has caused a ruckus between his irate colleagues and the Justice Department over congressional prerogatives.

If only these same members of Congress had been more sensitive about individual rights when they passed the USA Patriot Act, a law that is truly invasive of the privacy of all Americans.

These are the same lawmakers who were complicit with President George W. Bush's unprecedented order to secretly eavesdrop on millions of Americans without a warrant.

1. So it was a set-up?
That's why the evidence was put on ice for 45 days, entrapment anyone?

6. Right on, Helen! I said the same thing. Those hypocrites have
been above the law too long. They need to feel the brunt of the stupid decisions they make for us, so let's strip them of their free health care, their enormous pensions (btw, they once again shortened the time it takes to vest), and make all the employment laws and other stuff apply to those bastards. Yes, and the patriot act and nsa illegal spying, too, and then maybe they'll act in the best interest of EVERYONE and not just themselves. Grrrr!
