We have a great county which needs the resurgence of democracy in the new mega-wealth media web age. That's happening, but maybe not fast enough. Bush/Cheney's FTC has reportedly abandoned Net Neutrality, so I hope Congress saves that freedom. (Here's an easy explanation of what that means.)
America has a virus of which Mister George Bush is one of the most damaging symptoms and President Cheney is Typhoid Mary. Hopefully, in response to the latest infection (Libby's "Get of Jail Free" card), this will help lead to a cure:
The House Judiciary Committee, upset over President Bush's decision to grant clemency to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, will hold a hearing on July 11 to examine presidential clemency power, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the panel's chairman, announced on Tuesday afternoon. No witness list has been released yet.
"In light of Monday's announcement by the president that he was commuting the prison sentence for Scooter Libby, it is imperative that Congress look into presidential authority to grant clemency, and how such power may be abused," Conyers said in a statement released by his office. "Taken to its extreme, the use of such authority could completely circumvent the law enforcement process and prevent credible efforts to investigate wrongdoing in the executive branch."
Let's hope the doctors are effective, and move quickly. America needs its rosy, glorious health back.
