Morgan over at The Waterglass nails the Congresscritters in the midst of the “separation of powers” farce going on between Congress and the FBI:

The FBI had recorded Rep. Jefferson on video taking payoff money then obtained a legal warrant from a judge to search his office. I don’t see where the problem is.

I understand the argument of the separation of powers and that the legislative branch is seperate from the executive branch. However, when someone does something illegal, the police still has the legal right to go through the steps of investigation as long as all of the procedures are followed. The part of the U.S. Constitution that they are citing I believe is Article I, Section 6, but it specifically states that it does not give exception in the case of a felony.

When senators and representatives complain about the investigation of one of their own before the facts come out, the Congressmen appear to put themselves above the law. These senators and representatives should remind themselves that they are citizens as well and have to answer for crimes just like the rest of the American public.

I say vote ‘em all out. I don’t care who they are. Let’s make this the best anti-incumbent election ever.
