I too have been following these criminals. Their members are all out to destroy the American democracy and replace it with their own right-wing facist government.
Why do you think they got into the vote counting business?
Anyway how about filing tax evasion charges with the IRS? FIle the charges against all the GOP front groups that claim to be non-partisan when they are in fact GOP operations to destroy America and its government and institutions.

Steve Schmidt is running to Iraq? What's the official purpose? How can he work for Cheney from there?
There must be some very interesting reason they don't want him available for questioning?

Yikes. Legalese is rather confusing, but it looks like HR-1070 does quite a bit more than just make SCOTUS judges impeachable. I thought there already was an impeachment process for SCOTUS judges anyway. I must be wong. Surely there has to already be some provisions for it. What if they commit an act of treason?
Anyway, this part...
`Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an entity of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer or agent of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official or personal capacity), concerning that entity's, officer's, or agent's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.'
...looks sort of scary. I don't like that it specifies strictly "God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government". The protections only seem to apply to a specific set of people. It certainly can't be taking atheists into account. However, the real issue I have is that it seems to be saying officer's of any level of US government can't be held accountable for any action as long as they can make a case that they were doing it in service to God. With the way these freaks have been twisting religion in this country for so long now, I don't like what they're able to "justify" (in their heads anyway) as being done in service to their God. Ofcoarse I could be completely wrong an it's really saying something to the effect of the SCOTUS can't tell you to 'Have a nice day'. I dunno, like I said, that stuff is pretty confusing to me. It's like reading Crowley or something.

Hi Floridiot
Was that Ed? If so, yes. Poor Joe --- what a mess! At least 4 incidents of voter fraud on his block he says! How does he know? Is he an accomplice!? Probably all Bush supporters! Do tell!!
Way to go Virginia!

Schmidt doesn't necessarily "know" something about Plame - why wouldn't he have been called to the grandy jury earlier - he travels in his position all over the world.
Correction to the Raw Story link: The initial version of this story incorrectly stated the date the Grand Jury term ends. The final day the jury is empaneled is Oct. 28.
But, keep in mind, that Fitzgerald’s term as U.S. Attorney expires 4 days earlier ; )
But let's say Cheney gets indicted and steps down for the good of the country, then Rice becomes the first African-American AND female VPOTUS, as well as instant candidate for 2008 - is that what you guys really want?!

Given what we know about ACVR and their relationship with Dick Cheney and the White House, the entire argument about voter fraud, which ACVR is shouting the loudest about, is bogus. That's what people have to understand! I'm glad to hear Brad talking about it on air now!
Who could possibly have a crush on Ann Coulter? They should have their head examined if so!! (For those of you not tuned in, Brad made reference to this on air.)
Okay, good work Brad. Let's talk about it.

I was tuned into the radio show, Flo, and missed your point. You mean Cheney's Schmidt? Perhaps he does --- they're all crooks, and those who aren't crooks are thugs. I woke up this morning with the impression that this country is being run by organized crime truthfully.
How do we change that? We need better candidates --- people able to see through all mainstream crap out there, somebody like Brad!?! Yeah, that's it --- Brad for president!

Well I wonder how much of the 3k+% increase Cheney reaps from his Halliburton options this ACVR "non-profit, Charity" will benefit?

Doug, you're missing the forest for the trees. Impeaching Supreme Court justices has precedents in our history - goo Google it, or, as Casey Stengel would have said, "You can look it up!" Look further into that bill if you want to know what those reptiles are up to - I have to go right now, but peruse the bill at leisure and tell me it doesn't make your hair stand on end in places. Talk about Trojan horses, IMHO.

Good story, Brad. As you know, I don't accept what anyone writes without nosing around myself to come up with my own perspective on how credible it is --- and these skeptical traits, whether stories come from the right or the left, are important for all of us, not just reporters. That's because the easiest way to divert citizens who are sniffing out the truth is to plant mostly true, but slightly off-target disinformation.
The work you've done, Brad, on the ACVR has been very eye opening. The link to the absurd report claiming that vote suppression was a Democratic tactic was the icing on the cake. Anyone who didn't click through that link should have a look.

A bit off topic, but there was a question as to why texas. Doesn't the state have some tax friendly laws for residents even if one was to reside in another state? Know what I mean, Vern?

Hi, I'm JSN, your friendly, counter-agitprop professional.
Brad, great work. Decent write up. "non-partisan" Hmmph.
Anyway, I highly recommend you move, or simply delete, the conversation about HR 1070.
This is off-topic, it is not going to get passed. Can I repeat. No chance in hell.
So, delete this message, and all HR 1070 posts.
Someone apparently noticed you, and thought you were worthy of some comment spam. Think of it as a compliment, wipe off the egg, and keep on trucking.

Why, Brad? Why did they do it?
They don't want rational discussion about this.
They want to make your website look like it attracts only loonies.
They want to discredit this post itself, which may, someday, contain meaningful information, useful for further investigation. The best way to bury that?
Under a mountain of spam.
Delete this message, my previous message, the Karl Rove speculation, the HR 1070 stuff, and..
GOOD LUCK
