My version of Simple Answers to Simple Questions

In writing about yesterday's testimony from former "Justice" Department official James Comey, Glenn Greewald asks:

Even The Washington Post Editorial Board -- long tepid, at best, concerning the NSA scandal -- recognizes that Comey has offered "an account of Bush administration lawlessness so shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source." And as I documented yesterday, these "shocking" revelations were long concealed due to Alberto Gonzales' patently false assurances that the testimony of Comey and Ashcroft -- which Democrats on the Senate Judiicary Committee sought last year -- would not "add to the discussion."

What more glaring and clear evidence do we need that the President of the United States deliberately committed felonies, knowing that his conduct lacked any legal authority? And what justifies simply walking away from these serial acts of deliberate criminality?

Answer: Nothing.

And yet, look at our "table."

Also of note yesterday: the deadline for compliance with the Senate Judiciary Committee's subpoena of Karl Rove's e-mails regarding the U.S. Attorneys scandal has come and gone.

Did you catch the headlines? The outraged response from the Committee? The charges of contempt of Congress?

Me neither.

Forget the past, they say. Look to the future. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I fear you are looking at your future.
