WASHINGTON - In a break with his counterparts in the House, the Senate's leader said Sunday the FBI was within its right to search the office of a congressman under investigation in a bribery case.

"No House member, no senator, nobody in government should be above the law of the land, period," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said.

Frist, R-Tenn., was responding to the search conducted May 20-21 in the office of Rep. William Jefferson, D-La. FBI agents carted away computer and other records in their pursuit of evidence that Jefferson accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for helping set up business deals in Africa.

It was the first time that a warrant had been used to search a lawmaker's office in the history of the Congress.<snip>

1. But all citizens should be above the abuse of the laws. Bill Frist is

a stooge.

He will pander to absolutely anyone if he thinks it will garner him a handful more votes.

I think he's in for a rude awakening when the results of the Iowa caucuses roll in in about a year and a half. His stint in the Senate is nearly over, thank god, and after that I think it will be just a short while before he's retired from politics for good.
