Just wait til a Dem President gets to set the political agenda
Think of all these Republicrooks going on the record today (Gonzo hearing) about how proper it is for the President to play politics with forcing his particular agenda down the DOJ pipeline.

Records are a bitch

2. Perhaps after all the corruption is undone and rectified
It's hard to play a fair game on a fixed field

3. I here what you are saying, but
I agree with mmonk. Getting rid of the corruption needs to be job one, not using it to our own ends.

While you are playing the game, you play by the conditions on the field. Once you are the ref, you start enforcing the rules.

5. Those aren't what the actual rules say
That's what the corrupt refs, Bush, Gonzeles, Cheney say. The rules say something else entirely.
