IMMUNITY FROM TESTIFYING

Karl Rove has been subpoenaed again. His lawyer suggests he will show up this time unless they can pull something out of the hat from Bush. The stench of the Bush administration will emit its malodorous residue for a very long time, it would seem. While no one wants to see the legislative branch of government caught up in a similar waste of time and opportunity as the Republicans did chasing after Clinton, not for the good of the country but rage that they had lost total control. The fear is that Bush and company will get away scot free.

Bush signed something before he left office, trying to give everyone, who had served in the White House with him, a life immunity from testifying, due to Bush's Executive privilege. This for the man who was known as Bush's Brain, by many who knew that Bush had been coolly marketed to a susceptible public, ready to believe what they wanted to hear about this man who had never achieved real success in anything he did before in his life and was completely unfit or prepared the be President of the United States.

Immunity from prosecution should no longer be handed to families of ambassadors from other countries and their family members and staff. Right now it has become a bad joke to our legal system that they can illegally park and even commit murder with utter immunity. Would that we all had a place where we could claim immunity for any of our actions, but that route is not open to many of us....nor should be.

Stay tuned...who will win this one...the good guys or the bad guys?
