The Pelosi Defense

Let's say you go to a dinner party and have one glass of wine on a full stomach.

Your host happens to have a home Breathalyzer because he's a careful host and it appears you are okay to drive.

So you head home only to be stopped by the police at a checkpoint. The police seem to be waving compact cars and hybrids right through the checkpoint but are stopping all Cadillacs and SUVs.

The police arrest you for DUI even though you're certain you are not drunk-driving.

The judge begins to lecture you on your evilness before the trial even begins. You could lose your driving priviledge and therefore your ability to work if you can't get this trial dismissed.

Thankfully, your lawyer cab prove that the lecturing judge has a history of drunk-driving which the police have let pass without arrest.

Wouldn't you be insane not to attempt to have your trial declared a mistrial because of judicial misconduct and police profiling?

So why is it insane for the Republicans to do the same.

Simply substitute Republicans for you, the media for police, Pelosi for judge, and lawyers for the CIA and you've got yourself the situation as it stands right now.

Republicans should stop allowing liberals to frame the attacks on Pelosi as some kind of misdirection.

It is not!

Liberals are the ones attempting the misdirection when they defend Pelosi. A judge must NEVER be above the law and can NEVER preside over a trial that presents a conflict of interests.

But any "truth commission" in this Congress will be run by tainted judges presiding over a conflicted trial. But that's what all Republicans in Congress will face if a Democrat-run "truth commission" headed by Pelosi is enacted. All Repubicans and conservatives have the duty to point this out, otherwise our justice system becomes a travesty.

If Obama, Pelosi and/or Congress wanted any truths to be revealed to the American people, then they should release all relevant papers and memos related to torture from both themselves and the CIA (in a responsible manner) so that the American people can see for themselves if they've been lied to or defended honestly and well.

Defending Pelosi is like defending a drunk judge taking DUI trials.
