if you are going to weave a rug, you have to pick a corner to start in.

no start, no end.

don't give up on conyers too quickly.

he is very persistent.

this action establishes a congressional concern and a congressional demand.

talk with emptywheel.

given the administration's history of ignoring invitations, requests, and demands, this is nothing but a waste of time. and there isn't time to waste.

i'm (always) skeptical too.

but keep watching.

again, you have to initiate a legal/constitutional action.

conyers has done that.

It's so fucking frustrating... I'm always writing my congressman, Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva. He's a good Progressive.

It seems as if the bu$h administration created so much criminal activity most folks don't know where to start or which one to get traction with.

One hopes for the success of the Judiciary Committee. But will the cheney/bush regime pay any more attention to this attempt at oversight than they have any other demands by Congress (i.e. none)?

I'm the pessimistic sort....just thinking...how those Meier, Bolten subpoenas are working out again...not. Cheney-bush are just running out the clock...and Congress's Democracy and oversight wheel turns too slowly to nail the bastards especially with the current Administration's highly proficient ability to use stall/ignore tactics ...but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
