[...] There will, alas, be no attempt to put ‘em on the glass: with a hint of bitterness, the Times reports that the Democrats busying themselves with heavy-handed Lakoffian branding efforts and “symbolic” non-binding resolutions against the surge. Nothing wrong with that, but not the sort of thing you’d want to see from a new majority looking to assert itself if you’re among its constituents. [...]

I hope the resolution is just the first step. Next should be hearings and/or a Grand Jury.

What was the breakdown of the vote by party? It appears the Dems voted almost unanimously against the measure. This truly defines them as the party that encourages treason, as long as it is committed against a Republican administration.

The fact that can draft a meaningless resolution like this and yet can’t take the time to give it teeth and seek restitution through NYT & LAT prosecutions is absurd.

But that is our law – our legal system prevents a legislature from passing a law that makes something retroactively a crime. But the US Attorney can prosecute current crimes, which the leaker and the NY Times have committed. If Congress attempted to direct the US Attorney to “go get” the NYT, they would then be breaking the law (something about separation of powers comes to mind). The US Attorney needs to have a news conference to declare that he is going after the perpetrators of this crime against the people of the United States and that he will not rest until the perps are found and the leakers punished to the full extent of the law (including Keller of the NYT).

After reading the resolution, why would anyone vote against it? It states the obvious, but of course, anything that might be pro-Bush, such as protecting Americans through legal intelligence gathering, will get the full condemnation of the Democratic Party. Make sure you note which Congressmen voted for the public disclosure of legal and effective national security information and for the terrorists. Note those who are crowing following the SCOTUS decision on Hamdan (I won’t call it a victory – just a redirection. Expect legislation to remedy the issues soon…). When they grab the bully pulpit as November approaches and try to convince voters that they will be strong on national defense, we’ll see if any of the legacy media remembers yesterday’s votes and statements.

Hey Michelle, I really like your gang signs. I want to be “jumped in.” (Be gentle ’cause I bruise more easily now that I’m an old geezer.)

Anyway, remember when the NY Times was on their high horse about the Valerie Plame leak? They wanted an investigation and a prosecutor because of the “outing” of a “covert” agent. “National Security” and all that. And I believe the liberals were in general agreement because it looked like a chance to bring down Rove or Cheney.

The silence of the left is deafening now.

This seems a little weak, is the House in the business of passing non-binding resolutions?

Yes. They have been for a long time.

Are they the UN all of a sudden?

No, they also do things that matter from time to time.

It would have been party line anyway. Why not just name the NYT and tell ‘em they are scum? They are obviuosly working against the administration and the American people.
