    The BIG HOUSE

    So, this is the (il)logical and (ir)rational extension of the "unitary Executive" that Cheney and others of his ilk envisioned after watching John Mitchell go up in flames attempting to protect Richard Nixon. And, as Mukasey has refused to hand over material, is it the case that he and the DOJ (and by extension, thousands of govermental agencies) are being rolled up under the umbrella of executive privilege?

    Now that's a Big House!

    I won't be happy until these scum are serving time in the big house for what they have done to this country.
