The Legislative Branch has no oversight responsibility over the White House.

Once again, I am not afraid of anything because I know that some really dedicated people are out there doing the good work hunting down the people who want to harm us. I will not support hamstringing their good work.

That's alot of blind trust, I kinda think its a bit naive, too. You said you *did* get out much?
I'm gonna stick with the framers and demand a bit of accountabilty and oversight. I have a sinking feeling that mixed in with the hardworking heroes are a few bad apples. Some have surfaced (see the Abu kids, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, see Brownie, see Libby, Rove, Feith, see Tillman, see Gonzales, Miers, Goodling, Samson), and perhaps even, say, due to a ill-considered political appointment of a unqualified adminstrator by a weak CEO (Bush) who puts political gain before country, cause harm to the safeguarding efforts.

How have I personally been effected? I pay taxes.
