Spector has issued a statement that he will be Investigating the Judges of the Supreme Court, the Honorable Judge John Roberts, and the Honorable Judge Samuel Alito, because he says they lied to him in the confirmation process. This is going to be fun, the Congress under the Demorats is going totally out of control, now they want to run the Decisions of the Supreme Court.
So when they do nothing they are ridiculed as ineffective wimps. When they do perform their constitutional role of oversight over other branches, you call them out of control. Investigating allegations of lying in the confirmation process will only indirectly effect the decisions of the Supreme Court.
And you can't see the politics of this? Spector is now threatening the sitting Judges of the Supreme Court, what will he do call for the impeachment of Alito and Roberts, if he decides that The Honorable Judge Alito, and the Honorable Judge Roberts lied? and why is he starting this investigation? Because Spector doesn't like the decisions that are coming down from the Supreme Court, and Judge Alito and Judge Roberts are the difference in the decisions, how will Spector, with the help or leahy compel this, a subpoena?, contempt of congress? The Constitution doesn't support this and the Separation of Powers doesn't give Congress the Power to do this.
EEEEEeeeek! OVERSIGHT! The robed ghouls should hang in my view. All out of touch elites the Right embraces.

Here's an article that puts the issue in proper perspective. Specter is saying that the new justices have overturned precedent to a much greater extent than they led the congress to believe during their confirmation. He's accusing them of bait-and-switch. Although he recognizes that there's nothing they can do about it now, it would affect future confirmation hearings. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0707/5099.html
Been back a couple weeks! And no, I wasn't fired nor do I have a computer. I'm at the new bldg and can get online here & there, just not near as often. I go to nightshift Monday!
Out of control due to all these investigators? Not really and it's all called for. Heck, didn't 130+ people in the Reagan administration get convicted, arrested, indicted, or were otherwise investigated? I wonder if the Bush administration can top that. Hey, he's gotta be the best at something, may as well be the worst list. - N
Thread title changed - a good illustration of the kind of media management we're getting from the Rep side of the aisle these days. How'd that happen, btw?
