    Bush used it 6 times. Clinton used it 14 times.

    You're right. Nobody should be accountable for anything corrupt they engage in. Obama gets a pass because it's repubs bring it up & that hick Bush should get a pass because it was dems questioning misinformation about WMD cuz lying isn't lying if it's the other side raising the issue.

    I thought that's what I read earlier today.

    Obama has only had one session of a Republican controlled House. If he wins reelection but the Republicans hold the House I expect he might get up to Bush's number of 6.

    The committee has been asking for the documents for 18 months now. They have received 7,000 heavily redacted pages out of the 140,000 they requested. The whistleblowers are being punished with transfers to meaningless duty sites while on paid, but forced, leave. The prime whistleblower had to sell his Arizona house at a huge loss because the administration transferred him to South Carolina. Had he not gone to SC he would have been terminated. Why couldn't he sit around in Arizona as easily as he does in SC? That's the caliber of people who are running the show for Obama.

    ? The scandal broke something like 18 months ago. Issa and that other Congressman (youngish looking) have been going after it ever since then.

    Nah, justice for the border agent & his family is merely politics in an election year.

    Thumbs - explain how I'm a bigot, but more interestingly explain to the bbs how you're going to rehab your reputation among the Deckards of the universe. Im guessing it will involve substantial inpatientry.

    Yes, combined. Still, they used it more frequently. Also, Executive Privileged can be challenge in court. The idea of invoking it is to prevent congress from going on witch hunts and releasing national security interests.

    I can't change your low opinion of Hispanics because of your obvious prejudice. As for Deckard, glynch, rocketsjudoka, Major, Gladiatorowdy, mc mark, Sweet Lou 42 and other rational members of the board, I have great respect despite our often heated differences of opinion. Perhaps my opinion of you will change once you become more rational and employ a modicum of civility.

    Sam, have you payed attention to this story at all? The gun dealers were told to sell the guns to "the bad guys" by the ATF.

    Romney has had a lot of pro-military rhetoric in his campaign speeches & it seems the drones at Fox News & Glen Beck seem intent to make us paranoid that the 'browns' in that country need to be eliminated to promote a safer world.

    Honestly, it's a ******* shame the Obama Admin. has to resort to these tactics.

    Want to get rid of a significant amount of criminals? Legalize most drugs and get it done with.

    If that was the case why did they subpoena them last (non election) year?

    Because they've been doing the same thing for years on their own. There's a thread here about it.

    Because Republicans have been electioneering since they took the House and gained seats in the Senate.

    There's a reason why nothing gets done in Congress.
