Views on Jefferson

Based on all reports I have read, Jefferson has been caught red-handed with his hands in the cookie-dough bucket. If we are to believe the news stories discussing the brazen antics of Jefferson, a search of his congressional office is not unjustified.

Our illustrious (I can't think of illustrious' antonym) congressional leaders, Dennis Hastert (R-Ill) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca), were aghast to hear the a fellow Congressman had been treated as a regular citizen. Their separation of power arguments rings hollow. The search was a joint effort of both the executive and judicial branches in an oversight role of the legislative branch. Who could ask for a more fair way of our system of government to work.

I don't see anything wrong with two of our three legislative branches providing oversight to the third. This is how it works for the executive branch, as both the legislative and judicial branches are involved in the impeachment process. Both the executive, as the appointer, and the legislative, as the approver, work together to appoint our judges.

I find it completely fair and proper that the executive and judicial branches took the actions they did with Jefferson. I am not surprised that our morally corrupt congressional leaders are defiant to having their skeleton filled closets opened.
