Constitutional Crisis? Or Yet More Proof of a Corrupt Political System?

The congressional outrage at the FBI's search ("raid" is such an overblown term--am I to take it that jackbooted, M-16 toting shock troops kicked in the door?) of crooked Congressman Wm. Jefferson's House office appears to be the only thing that can unite the GOP and Democrats in the House. And, why, exactly? Because there's a deep, overriding constitutional issue at stake here? Like the separation of powers? Executive overreach?

I'll pause while you regain your composure.

OK. Most cynically, we might speculate that other members of Congress, including GOPpers, don't want their offices searched. But maybe this one just hits close to home. I mean, it's one thing when the executive branch runs roughshod over foreign nationals, Arab Americans, disabled veterans, Americans who use telephones, journalists, and so on. Let's face it, those people are scum! But investigate a member of Congress, and you're attacking THE CLUB. And no one, and that means NO ONE, gets to subject the Club to that kind of scrutiny.

Maybe I'm alone here in not seeing a constitutional problem with law enforcement executing a valid search warrant, backed by more than probable cause, on a congressional office? I'd like to hear some thoughts on this.

Plus, watch the Cafferty video. Hilarious. Give 'em hell, JackCaff.
