More Comey
This is just extraordinary. James Comey, testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, about an attempt by Gonzales and Andy Card to overrule him by going to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, totally indisposed with pancreatitis, for his signature to continue the NSA surveillance program. Titillating, indeed.
“I was very upset,†said James B. Comey, who was deputy Attorney General at the time, in his testimony today before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “I was angry. I thought I had just witnessed an effort to take advantage of a very sick man, who did not have the powers of the attorney general because they had been transferred to me.†Mr. Comey’s account offered a rare and titillating glimpse of a Washington power struggle, complete with a late-night showdown in the White House after a dramatic encounter in a darkened hospital room — in short, elements of a potboiler paperback novel.

Pancreatis seems to improve John Ashcroft's judgment --
“And Attorney General Ashcroft then stunned me,†Mr. Comey went on: He raised his head from the pillow, reiterated his objections to the program, then lay back down, pointing to Mr. Comey as the attorney general during his illness.

Inalienable rights-Habeas Corpus
Who can hold a government accountable when the government system is turning its back on its own foundational principles?
Without the aknowledgement of God and His Law there is no recourse or higher authority to check the exercise of power by mere men.
Can an argument be won before a court of men that does not acknowledge the Giver of .."certain inalienable rights"?
When the acknowledgement of God has been removed from the public debate can the result be not understood?
The U.S. Constitution was written in view of God's interest in earthly government abiding by rules of fair play.
Can we not understand the outcome of what has been done?
Produce the Body...
He is not here: he has risen, just as he said, Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell His Disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Matthew 28:6-7
Death could not hold him... habeas corpus
Read your Bible while you still can....

Hang on to all the books that you already own because I believe we are heading down the road to a point in time when all writings will have to be approved by a neocon thinktank before they are published. All of these media companies are being taken over by neocons like Rupert Murdoch.
