Is Bush obstructing justice by using "executive privilege to prevent people from?

of course he is, and the entire administration knows it. Isn't it ironic that the same administration that has argued against civil liberty protections with the rationale that "innocent Americans shouldn't be worried" about domestic spying, detention without rights, and gross bill of rights violations should at the same time be so secretive itself? The hypocrisy is stunning, and the message clear; Bush and his cronies feel that they are above and beyond the reach of law, and that they are to be held to a different standard than that of the everyday ordinary citizen.

The Bush administration knows that this will go to the Supreme Court, in fact, they are counting on it because they know, as we all should by now, that in a vote on the case "Bush vs. The people of the United States" the vote will be a 5-4 vote in favor of executive privilege, just as it has been in every critical case since Bush's 2 appointees took the bench.

Miscarriage of justice and obstructing justice are terms that do not begin to describe the last 7 years under the Bush regime

the only thing that we can hope for is that, once out of office, prosecutors can begin genuine and effective efforts to investigate the like of Karl Rove, Cheney and Bush and that (if any crimes have in fact been committed) they all get what they deserve without anyone waiting to pardon them.

as far as already having released 1,000s of documents, consider this: congress is discussing whether the Bush administration is in violation of a "presidential records" act requiring even emails to be kept. of the almost 100,000 emails regarding the justice departments appointment scandal, less than 100 have managed to be preserved.

Because he has had this sham of morality and good about him for the last 8 years and he is scared that someone will tell the truth about his evil nature. When the people actually find out how petty and evil he is, his rating will drop from 30% to 3%. When they talk, the rot will go all the way to his office. At that point, he cannot lie his way out of it, or roll his eyes heavenward and claim God is speaking to him. At that point, the buck stops and he has to take accountability for these things he has done. There are some die-hard neocons that would defend him if he ate boiled babies for breakfast. They would justify it and rationalize it in their tiny little minds.

No, they're protecting the essential confidential nature of the internal discussion of the White House counsel and the President's political director, which any sane and rational president would necessarily do.

Congress has overreached in attempting to get these confidential communications. The 1,000's of official documents they've already seen show absolutely nothing untowards whatsoever, so they feel compelled to dig deeper in order to find something, anything they can harm Bush with. It's disgusting, really.

They made that ruling but they didn't specify what "protecting national security" was. Basically, the only way EP can't be invoked is in criminal cases and I believe this is all under the civil division.

Yes, he's acting illegally, and yes, the Supreme Court should eventually rule against him. It's just a question of when they'll do that. As you know, they typically act very slowly (unless they have to decide who the next President of the US is).

they have already investigated the CIA leak. bear in mind the particular prosecuter ? they got here upon the leaker, It replaced into Richard Armitridge of the State branch. The specific prosecuter, desperate no regulation replaced into broken via Armitridge. ......................................... So precisely what's Bush hampering ? ......................................... Congress has no proper to call for inner White abode information or E-mails of deepest conversations. except there's a criminal examine occuring. Congress has no criminal examine at present occurring. they are in simple terms fishing for advice to objective and embarass the White abode. And separation of powers, prevents that.

of course he's obstructing justice. But until Congress gets it together enough to be able to overrule his vetoes with their votes, it will continue this way.

Bush and Cheney should be impeached, certainly. Let's put someone into power who has morals and cares about humanity, for a change.

What Bush is doing (executive privilege) is bordering criminal. He is not above the law, and "protecting" his cronies with this power is corruption at its worst.

In a word yes, both Bush and Cheney think they're above the law, they need to be impeached.

Milling the truth.
