US NEWS REPORTING ON RUMORS WITHIN WHITE HOUSE OF CHENEY EXIT


It is remarkable the buzz of rumors spreading throughout Washington about pending indictments and resignations.US News and World Report
is reporting rumors within the White House that Cheney may be compelled to resign. Raw Story is reporting that a senior official within Cheney's office is cooperating with the investigation.

As Fitzgerald's investigation is coming to a close, it is helpful to reflect on some of our earlier work that helped to advance this issue. As Democrats, we are in the minority in Congress and do not possess subpoena authority. Because of this, we must take every opportunity to press the administration and the Justice Department to investigate its own malfeasance. A pessimist would say there is no point in fighting because it will never amount to anything. I refuse to think that way.

We called immediately for a special counsel when it became known that Valerie Plame's identity was compromised. When the Justice Department refused to respond to numerous CIA requests to open an investigation into this matter, we brought this stonewalling public and demanded action from DoJ. As Judith Miller sat in prison, purportedly because Scooter Libby had not offered a personal waiver, my colleagues and I sent a letter demanding he provide the necessary waiver. Fitzgerald, in fact, used our letter to "encourage" Libby to comply. I mention these successes to encourage everyone to keep up the fight. While our spirits will buoyed by indictments of White House officials, we still have a long way to go to take back this country and restoring a Democratic majority in Congress.

Another battle I have long engaged in is the fight against Voter IDs. This is essentially a restoration of the poll tax, seeking to disenfranchise scores of elderly, minority, and lower income voters to fix a problem that hasn't been proven to exist. Bradblog reported the good news today that a federal district court in Rome, Georgia has filed an injunction blocking the implementation of the Georgia Voter ID law. While this is a promising step toward to finally putting an end to this heinous practice, I anticipate this is not the last we will hear about Voter IDs. I encourage you all to keep up the fight to finally put an end to this insidious proposal.
