I wonder if the administration got a deal on it, for not pushing the Microsoft anti-trust case.

Oh god am I getting cynical. I do however predict that G.W. Bush will be judged harshly by history.

Due to a lack of verifiable sources, Doug Thompson of the Capitol Hill Blue (an anti-Bush website *cough*Aren't we all?*cough*) retracted his statement that George W. Bush said, "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's just a goddamn piece of paper!"

@Bryan: You are wrong. Supreme Court justices (and all other Federal judges) *are* appointed for life. In extraordinary circumstances, it is possible to remove them, but that is extremely rare. Some judges at State and local levels do have limited terms, but they are completely separate systems. 

It isn't clear what bearing the term of Supreme Court justices has on any of this article or any of the comments, but your statement is completely incorrect and I want to correct it.

The issue of checks and balances is a bit more complex than you seem to know, but that is a subject that requires a lot more discussion than I'm prepared to devote to it right now. 

Off topic: I wonder how your comment got to be dated 21 December 2007. I wonder what date mine will get.

What a waste of taxpayer money. Lotus Notes is more secure, has better archiving, can do more, and they dump it and waste money on Exchange...

Come on folks, they looked high and low and those pestky 18 months of email are just nowhere to be found .
Whereas my title shows the two to be alike ,only being one is on top of the board and the other is on the bottom .

but due to this bottleneck in administration of justice known as "Congress" we haven't had much success. trying to get the rich to impeach their cronies is nigh impossible, unless you're Republicans going after a Democratic President.

justice is indeed blind in modern America.

Clinton was impeached for having his tackle diddled in the White House (not that he left office).

Yet, Bush gets away with wiping his rear with the Constitution and telling the people to go f* themselves.

Clearly, Americans have yet to get over their (our, I'm in America) Puritan roots.

Sure, it is just fine for George Dubya to force through legislation to justify his administration spying on the email and phone calls of all Americans. BUT, they are certainly not permitted to see his email! OOPS!<delete...>.

I cannot believe that Nixon was impeached, and this corrupt idiot still is allowed to govern the country. Time to wake up, Americans!

"The constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper "
~George W.Bush Nov.2005

just because some judge wants to go digging through white house secrets doesn't me he has the clearance or right to... What we are seeing here is a fight of the balance of power... there has been a lot of judicial tyranny of late it time for congress to check their advance.

people to often forget the checks and balances... and ignore them..the judges are to rule by the laws made and if necessary rule some unconstitutional.
There have been laws passed well within the constitutional powers given the executive branch. you should really look at what the constitution says before attacking those you hate :)

I know its hard to not to attack those you hate but really now might you get your facts straight first....

fyi..supreme court justices are not appointed for life...
bet you didn't know that one...
