Guess he can only solve six of the world's problems at one time. Give him time... The problem on the Justice system and Alabama is not Obama, but the White House attorney and Artur Davis's connection to AG Holder. Davis doesn't just want to be Alabama's first black governor, he wants to be Alabama's first CONSERVATIVE pro-business black governor. It won't work, but meanwhile, Siegelman stays in limbo... Agreed. Guess he can only solve six of the world’s problems at one time. Give him time…

This is a mistake. But the fact that there is (or was) so much treasonous activity that defined the previous administration it is impossible to comprehend it all, much less indict those responsible.

Rove is apparently trying to delay in hopes of allowing any criminal, statues of limitations to "run" and it gives him another excuse for ignoring the House Judiciary's subpoena.

Bush, former Vice President Richard B. Cheney, the attorneys formerly employed by the Department of Justice whose memos sought to justify torture, and other former top officials of the Bush Administration. Our laws, and treaties that under Article VI of our Constitution are the supreme law of the land, require the prosecution of crimes that strong evidence suggests these individuals have committed. Both the former president and the former vice president have confessed to authorizing a torture procedure that is illegal under our law and treaty obligations. The former president has confessed to violating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. We see no need for these prosecutions to be extraordinarily lengthy or costly, and no need to wait for the recommendations of a panel or "truth" commission when substantial evidence of the crimes is already in the public domain. We believe the most effective investigation can be conducted by a prosecutor, and we believe such an investigation should begin immediately.
