I know what you mean. I asked the rhetorical question a few days ago about what would it take for them to take action. Its hard to imagine.

Huey Long had a famous statement about this, but its somewhat risque so I won’t repeat it….

The Bush Administration has been engaging in this kind of activity since the day he first took office. After the Dems take control of congress, they have repeatedly bailed Bush out of his misdeeds with absolutely no indication that they are going to pursue justice and hold the administration accountable. At this point, I don't think there is ANYTHING this criminal administration can do that would prompt the Democrats to act.
