One hundred years from now (if the Republic lasts that long), our grandkids are going to study invertebrates and start with the US Senate. I honestly can't say that in my life time I have ever observed a larger group of jellyfish outside the Baltimore Aquarium. Few if any are upholding their oaths to support and defend the Constitution of The United States. I don't believe that any of them took an oath to Support and Defend, unless of course it conflicts with the desires of The Little Monarch. But they keep doing it.
The Senate Intelligence Committee decided today not to investigate President Bush's domestic surveillance program, at least for the time being.
"I believe that such an investigation is currently unwarranted and would be detrimental to this highly classified program," Senator Pat Roberts, Republican of Kansas and chairman of the panel, said this afternoon following a closed session.
While Mr. Roberts's announcement signaled that the administration's eavesdropping program would not be subject to Senate scrutiny, at least for the time being, there was no guarantee that the House would not go ahead with an inquiry of its own.
Mr. Roberts said "an agreement in principle" had been reached with the administration whereby lawmakers would be given more information on the surveillance operation run by the National Security Agency.
Fucking Roberts is a bigger hick than is normally found in the Senate. Dumber than Kansan Cowshit and twice as dense, he actully believes the 1600 Crew is going to give a shit what he thinks into the future? Fuck no, Pat. You have been played. Remember when the DOJ under Ashcroft was supposed to by law, report on its use of the PATRIOT Act, that fourth amendment travesty? What happened? Your old buddy John Ashcroft basically told you to go fuck yourselves and shared nothing. The 1600 Crew is not about sharing, it's about Power, Greed and obtaining both through Fear and Intimidation.
Pat Roberts: one of the worst US Senators of all time, doing the bidding of the worst President of All Time. That's what they're going to remember in 100 years. Sycophancy and Bed-wetting, all the time.
Gosh you Senators of both parties, why bother to swear an oath to Support and Defend the Constitution when you have no intent of doing either?

Just imagine Roberts as your police chief:I believe that such an investigation is currently unwarranted and would be detrimental to the local community of criminals. If we investigate criminal wrong doing where will it end. We'll be putting criminals in jail, making neighborhoods and the entire nation safer. It would be a nation of laws and nobody wants that.
The legislative branch needs to be swung back around to a Democratic majority. Then hopefully (and I won't hold my breath) someone will have the cojones to actually bring these investigations back out and DO something. Fer cryin out loud, do ANYTHING.
What do you know about Senator Roberts' resume? How in the world was this guy elected to represent Kansas? On the few occasions that he has appeared on television, he comes across as rather uninformed, obstinate and arrogant. He seems to be a shameful advocate of the Administration.
