    Well, Shooturd242.....

    Isn't what Tamm did illegal and isn't the rule of law to be applied impartially? Or just when the "right" people say so?

    Well then, by that reasoning, you should be leading the pack in calling for Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, and the others to be prosecuted immediately for high crimes and misdemeanors, right?

    Right?

    Right?

    Right?

    You're a complete and utter idiot, right?

    Right?

    Right.
