Is there any reason that the US government should be trusted?

What do you think we do every other November? "There's no such thing as the mafia. If certain members of the Cosa Nostra were murdering, stealing, extorting, or bribing public officials, then let them be prosecuted on that basis. Godfather is just a term of respect, I'm not really in charge of anything."I wonder if the term "organized crime" means anything to you, if there's absolutely no point at which, for you, the members of an organization are involved in so many crimes that the organization itself must be regarded as criminal. How many separate, individual acts of corruption and malfeasance have to be uncovered, exposed, prosecuted, and ultimately pardoned by the President before it's safe to conclude that the Bush Administration is ordering people to commit criminal acts?

Not at all. I simply want those responsible for instituting a culture of corruption, those responsible for ordering illegal acts, those responsible for protecting those acts, and those guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity brought to justice. You tell me. Isn't that what I asked you?

I don't see where he's saying that. What he's saying is that nearly every influence of this administration on the government has been a bad influence, and I agree. When someone is ordered to commit a crime, the punishment should be greater for he who ordered it than for he who committed it. Don't you agree?We should go after who is responsible for the crimes. I think the responsibility goes right to the top. Not just on some kind of principle; the responsibility goes to the top because that's where the orders came from; that's where the conditions were created that made people give those orders. Republicans will never allow it, no matter what crimes we know the President has committed. They're made that obvious. The whole party suborns and condones lawbreaking by executives. It's practically their party platform. This one is, certainly, and it's by his own choice. Do you think that's going to happen when the President creates a culture that punishes whistleblowing?

Surely you don't really think that. Or does the term "coercion" mean nothing to you? Somebody needs to re-read their Constitution. Articles of impeachment ae brought by the House of Representatives, not the Supreme Court.Remember? That little affair with Clinton? How soon they forget, I guess. Again, reading the US constitution will answer your question about who is the Commander-in-Chief of the US armed forces. Because of all the whistleblowers that have been punished by the Bush Administration? Just a thought.
