Supreme Court Takes A Dive On Jefferson Lawsuit

The U.S. Supreme Court handed congressional crooks a gift last week when it refused to hear a case involving an FBI search of Louisiana Democratic Rep. William Jefferson's congressional office. Thanks to this ruling, members of Congress will continue to have a "law enforcement free zone" in which to conduct corrupt and criminal activity -- their taxpayer-funded congressional offices.

According to the March 31st edition of The Wall Street Journal:

"The Supreme Court declined to intervene in a dispute between the Justice Department and Congress over the 2006 criminal raid of Rep. William Jefferson's Capitol Hill office...Last August, a Washington-based U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a court order barring prosecutors from using evidence gathered in the office raid. When the government asked the D.C. Circuit to reconsider the stay, it voted 5-4 to leave the restrictions in place."

What I take from this is that a representative can hide anything he wants in his office in wash. and no one can touch it. This is completely wrong and a disgrace that the Supreme court would go along with this farce. Those people work for us, and our money is used to furnish them with furniture and personnel, and it should not be a safe place for them to hide anything. This is wrong, and I am going to writ the Supreme Court and complain about their decision.All the rep. has to do is put a deep freeze in his or her office, and keep illegal monies from the eyes of the law.

We must always remember-Laws are for the Law biding Citizens and the Crooks & Congress don't care what the Law said or means.
