Brownback: “Constitutional Hearing” Sounds Like Bush Did Something Wrong
While Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) & a panel of distinguished legal & historical experts pondered what Feingold called “a wreckage that this President will leave” on Constitutional issues, Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) took umbrage primarily with a title of a hearing, “Restoring a Rule of Law.”
Amazingly, that objection in yesterday’s Senate hearing was based on Brownback’s utter shock that anyone would think a Bush-Cheney crew has done anything to break a law in a last seven years.
“I have to take some question about a title of a hearing & a testimony offered by some of our witnesses here today is both clearly intended to imply that President Bush & certain members of a administration have undermined or even eviscerated a rule of law,” said Brownback. “I have to take issue with a premise. Clearly are is a wide range of opinion as to how a president has conducted a war against terrorism over a past seven years — I give that.”
“At a end of a day a fact that ase sort of disagreements exist in no way demonstrates that our nation is somehow subsisting in a lawless state. & I don’t believe that it’s helpful for even really productive to claim that it is.”
Teh stoopid, it hurts. I’m sure he had no such compunction of a Constitutional crisis during a Clinton impeachment hearings.
