“I don’t believe my role is to replace the verdict of a jury with my own, unless there are new facts or evidence of which a jury was unaware, or evidence that the trial was somehow unfair.”

George W. Bush, writing in his autobiography, A Charge to Keep.

This is in responce to why he never stepped in and stopped the death of 157 people put to death then he was in charge of Texas. Now, a rich white boy who helped him cover up an act of treason, justice was somehow denied here. America was once a guiding light for all others to follow, now we are a banana republic at best.

Today George Bush said that the rule of law means nothing to him.  In what can only be described as obstruction of justice by a sitting president, George Bush commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby.  This is actually worse than pardoning him, because it leaves the White House with its very well-worn canned response to any question about Scooter , “the White House will not comment on any ongoing investigations for court trials.”   It also leaves alive Scooter Libby’s ability to plead the fifth is brought before Congress, because technically while the president has made it so that he does not have to serve jail time, he is still guilty of a crime, that he can still appeal.

The irony here is that while Bush was governor state of Texas over 157 people asked for the same privilege he granted scooter today, they’re all dead.  What’s more, George Bush commuted the sentence in order to ensure that Scooter does not have to ever reveal the criminal acts that all fingers are pointing to in the White House.

It is a sad day here in America, unfortunately one of countless sad days we’ve had the Bush administration has occupied the White House.

Now I am from Texas, and it is sad to see what the Right wing has done to this once great state. Now this is what America will look like if we allow the uber-right to keep going. They hate people, period. Read for yourself.
