A familiar face from the Clinton years: Gregory B. Craig, a well-known Washington lawyer who quarterbacked President Bill Clinton’s impeachment defense, has been chosen White House counsel by President-elect Barack Obama, according to Democratic officials. Craig is intimately familiar with the president-elect’s record because he played the role of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in debate […]
Obama is still 70+ days from that, yet some have already started a Facebook group to impeach Obama, which now has over 700 1,400 members. Should we go ahead and start a “impeach Palin” group just in case?
Bush is still trying to show us he cares nothing about our privacy, just his own: The Bush administration has informed Congress that it is bypassing a law intended to forbid political interference with reports to lawmakers by the Department of Homeland Security.

The administration particularly […]
Today’s New York Times has an article explaining how torture became a method of interrogation for this administration: When the Justice Department publicly declared torture “abhorrent†in a legal opinion in December 2004, the Bush administration appeared to have abandoned its assertion of nearly unlimited presidential authority to order brutal interrogations.

Because he doesn’t get what he wants: President Bush said Friday that Congress must stay in session until it approves legislation modernizing a U.S. law governing eavesdropping on foreigners. “So far the Democrats in Congress have not drafted a bill I can sign,” Bush said at FBI headquarters, where he was meeting with counterterror and […]
