Attorney General Michael Mukasey announced today that there will be no prosecutions in the cases of the HIGHLY ILLEGAL hiring & firing practices at the Department of 'Justice'. More after the break.

Former Justice Department officials will not face prosecution for letting improper political considerations drive hirings of prosecutors, immigration judges and other career government lawyers, Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday.
Mukasey used his sharpest words yet to criticize the senior leaders who took part in or failed to stop illegal hiring practices during the tenure of his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales.
But, he told delegates to the American Bar Association annual meeting, "not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime. In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws."
I hope every American can read this and understand why we should all think about whether or not our democracy even exists anymore, and if not, how we can kill off the impostor in its place.
The rule of law is the only support system our democracy has. When the rule of law can be ignored on a regular basis, then the peoples' fundamental right to even exist will be eventually ignored as well. Once the rule of law is gone, the next highest form of government is 'Machine Gun' democracy, back to being little more than animals who have figured out how to kill each other with incredible proficiency over the basic needs of life.
That roaring sound is the bathtub of civilization being drained out. We MUST be a nation of laws. Additionally, those laws must serve & protect everyone, but that's another story for another time.
Please remember this when you vote in the fall.
