Quite legal!!!!! Nowhere in the Constitution are members of Congress exempted from the law. The Constitution was clearly followed. The agents had a warrant and conducted a search.
There is no slippery slope here. What has everyone in an uproar is because it is the first time that the Justice Department in an investigation has actually searched a Congressional office. Who cares if there were subpoenas for the requested items to be turned over, quite clearly the Congressman is a criminal, one who breaks the laws, why should he now follow them because he was caught????
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
