Late this afternoon I turned to Cspan and came across the beginning of a Town Hall in Florida with Joe Biden.
I must say it was wonderful to see a not just a democrat but, our veep nominee as a week of Republicans is rather annoying and boring at the same time.
During the question and answer session about 3/4 the way through Biden got a question regarding the criminality of this administration and the restoring of our Constitution.
Biden's answer made me sit up straight and listen very careful.
As we know the democrats in congress have been hold alot of hearings in regards to many issues dealing with this administration, including those of many controversies dealing with Bush and Cheney and the things that have been done.
Time and time again we wonder about the testimony that is damning to the administration and why nothing is being done about it.
Biden answers why.
Waxman, et.al. have been conducting these hearings for evidence. They are collecting data. Alot of data and building a file. He said it is not to get back at the Bush Administration or republicans. It is being carefully collected and after the administration leaves, Obama, Biden and the judiciary (I assume, because he did not say, Attorney General's office, the judical committees, ect.) will got through the file very carefully.
If any criminal acts, real criminal acts, are found to have taken place they will prosecute.
They plan to send the message that no one, be it cabinet member, The President, the Vice President, no one is above the law.
So, while nothing is being done in accountability and no one is being held to it right now, the democrats are gathering evidence and do plan to go after anyone who committed crimes in this administration.
We need to make sure come Jan. 2009 that Obama and Biden be sworn in as President and Vice President. Plus provide them with a filibuster proof majority in both houses. This is the only way we will see this criminal administration prosecuted.
My guess as to why they are gambling on getting the white house and majorities in congress rather than do something now is that they need more of a majority to go after the Bushies. And there has not been the time to present a case against them but, this way, if things work out, they can take their time to get all the crimes accounted for and the players involved.
