In reply to the discussion: Former Congresswoman: Not too late to hold Bush and Cheney accountable [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)30. Lovely way to distract from the truth of the Congresswoman's statements.
Allegations of violations of the Fourth and Eighth Amendments (arguably) plus fraud to get us into war (never did figure out who was behind the Niger scandal) have occurred and our justice system has omitted an investigation and trial.
Yet some of us worry about omission of a "t" in the word statute -- an extremely common typo.
Interesting.
