Hastert still doesn't get it

Dennis Hastert was on Fox yesterday and was asked about the FBI warrant to search the office of Congressman William Jefferson. House Speaker Dennie Hastert did not rule out getting involved in disgraced Congressman William Jefferson's latest lawsuit, though he indicated that he would not do it in defense of Jefferson; rather, he thinks Representatives have certain "prerogatives" written into the Constitution which demand a procedure for searching beyond, evidently, the standard warrant. So, in other words Hastert believes that if the Executive Branch goes to the Judicial Branch to get a warrant to search the offices of anyone else in the U.S. except a congressman it is O.K. That is nonsense as anyone who can read the Constitution will readily understand. It is sad to see the Republicans get to the belief they are entitled to things the others of us are not within just 12 years of getting a majority. It took the Democrats 40 years to get there and they were turned out in 1994.
