The Democrat Congress has nothing better to do than to try to assert control over the Executive Branch with endless subpoenas, inquiries, and hearings. Currently, the hot topics are the Scooter Libby commutation and the firing of the U.S. Attorneys. Both of these things are the prerogative of the President, who doesn’t need to give a reason to anyone as to “why”.
Democrats balk when the Bush Administration and those siding with it say “Hey, Clinton did the same thing, and you didn't complain then.” It’s as if these Democrats maintain precedence is completely irrelevant, and as if the next Democrat President won’t do exactly the same thing. Please. We know he or she will.
For some reason, these Congressional Democrats and the MSM think that Presidents should have different powers depending on their political affiliation.
Hey Congress: It’s none of your business as to “why”. It’s something all Presidents get to do, not just Democrat Presidents. End of story. Don’t like it? Don’t let your next President do it. Stop wasting our money.
With this in mind, I urge you, if you ever get the chance, to ask Democrat Presidential candidates the following question:
“Will you pledge to never pardon or commute any part of a sentence for anyone associated with your Presidency, and pledge to never fire a U.S. attorney for any reason that could be construed as “political”, and testify before Congress to these matters?”
