I also suspect if the sheriff had shown up at the compound with
deputies and a couple of ATF agents, that they would have been allowed
to search without incident.

What do you base that on? The fact that he had a good 'in public'
relationship wtih the sheriff?

The fact that they found no illegal weapons in the burned out complex.

Re resp:371: I'm not defending either incident, just saying that they
prove that stockpiling civilian weapons won't protect you from the
government.

You may be right David, but I still think they offer a deterence.

It's hard to disprove that contention, but there seems to be just as much
evidence for the opposite, namely that having a stockpile of civilian
weapons is likely to get the attention of the government and make them
come after you.

I guess it depends on your definition of stockpile.

I guess it all depends on what you consider an arsenal. Some people
would consider what I have as an arsenal. I certainly don't.

The hearings started this morning, and within the first half hour I
already smelled whitewash. The Republicans on the committee voted
along party lines not to put the Attorney General under oath.

What reason did they give for that?

If people are paying attention, he will not be able to lie and get away
with it anyway - just not be indicted for lying. However his reputation
would still be thoroughly soiled.

Who puts the committee members under oath?? Or at least promise to act
civilized?

I suppose that the Capitol Police would step in, but as far as I know we
haven't had such problems since before the civil war. With respect to
this particular witness I think it would be poetic for the committee to
"not torture" him into giving meaningful answers, using the definition
of "not torture" provided by the witness himself, but I don't think
we'll see anything that much fun.

Re resp:394: Sen. Spector, the chair of the committee, argued that
lying to Congress is already a crime, so putting the witness under oath
was not necessary. Funny, no one ever argued that when Attorney
General Reno was being questioned, or even when baseball players were
being questioned about steroid use.
Another interesting moment came when a Senator (I forget which one -- I
was listening in the car) asked the Attorney General about dissenting
views inside the administration that had come to light about the NSA
spying program. The Attorney General said that he thought those
dissenting views weren't about the NSA program, but about "other
operations." That suggests to me that the NSA domestic spying that
we've heard about is only the tip of the iceburg.
