Angry lawmakers demand FBI return seized documents

[404 Not Found]

Just a blurb from CNN:

Congressional Republicans are demanding the FBI surrender documents and other items seized on Capitol Hill in what lawmakers said was an unconstitutional raid. The search of Rep. William Jefferson's office is bringing Democrats and Republicans together in rare election-year accord, with both parties protesting what they say is a violation of the Constitution's separation of powers.

Interesting that the Congress brings up the Constitution. I thought they forgot about that when the NSA was wiretapping and Bush did not seek a court order for the wiretap. leaking of classified information to the press and then wasting the tax payers monies for something he himself, GWB himself was the source?

I dunno, but I think it is interesting that Congress finally discovered that there is a Constitution, but it would seem that the Constitution is only enforced when it deals with Congress itself?

F'n hypocrites the lot of um!!!! I also didn't think the Constitution held up in todays world being post 9/11...at least that is always the excuse the White House uses when they violate it!

Not that I disagree with you, but I'm sure they will argue that the raid was "not in the interests of national security". Hypocrites, yes, I know.

I agree...yet it seems that the Constitution becomes part of the vocab of the Congress when it hits them as it did.

Why would Jefferson have taken the bribe...and if it was a legit payment, why would you wrap the monies in increments using aluminum foil and then place them in the freezer inside tupperware?

hey...they are all lying self centered crooks in my book! Look at Condi Roce from last weekends meet the press and what she said on the US going to war with Iraq, not that this has anything to do with Jefferson taking a bribe but:

Via crooksandliars:

“RICE: I understand that Americans see on their screens violence. They continue to see Americans killed, and we mourn every death. These are very hard things to do. But I would ask that people remember why we are there. We are there because we are trying to–having overthrown a brutal dictator who was a destabilizing force in the Middle East, we’re trying to help the Iraqis create a stable foundation for democracy and a stable foundation for peace.”

NO! WRONG BITCH!

“Citing Bush administration officials, The New York Times reported Sunday that Iraq tried to buy thousands of high-strength aluminum tubes. The tubes, Rice said, “are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs, centrifuge programs.” [CNN, 9/8/2002]”

They lie so much they can’t even remember what they lied about.

It's funny how when a violation of the law affects them directly, of course they will act immediatly, but when it's someone else having their rights violated, it'll take years if not ever for any action to be taken.
