Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne: ‘Unfortunately I Have To Follow The Law’»

Yesterday, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne was challenged by Glenn Beck on CNN about why he listed the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Kempthorne responded:



Kempthorne caught himself and added, “Or fortunately.” After highlighting his record trying to cripple the Endangered Species Act as a Republican senator from Idaho, Kempthorne said with a smirk, “I cannot ignore the law. I have a Constitutional requirement to, uh, uphold the law.” Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/05/17/kempthorne-beck/

I loved that quote from either the New Yorker or Vanity Fair a year or two back where a Sr. White House official essentially said, "Not everything we do is illegal." (the official used some sort of legal term, though)

Doubly so since the Bushies have dismantled the Rule of Law for quite a few years now, even in retrospect, to back in the 90s, 80s, and perhaps even 70s when one considers that we let Nixon, Bush, and Cheney (who were undoubtedly in on the Watergate Ops as "middle management" and thus were not on the "upper management's" taped conversations) go.

Hell, one might even go back to FDR Greatest Mistake, which was to bury the evidence and let Prescott Bush and his Treasonous Crew go "for the good of the country" after they tried to overthrow FDR, the US Government, and the Constitution so they could appoint a military dictator and ally themselves with that good friend of the Bush Family...Adolf Hitler.

If you have never heard this, it is a tribute to the success of FDRs efforts, and subsequent Bushie efforts, to keep the true history AND NATURE of their monstrous family secret.
