Very nice article Thomas, and thank you for signing the petition.

Some new developments today that just may turn out to be the paradigm changing ones needed to push this effort over the top into an irrepressible wave…

Oh my, that all sounds ever so awful. Whenever David Broder gets stern, I always fret and cry. I’m very, very sorry I wrote this.

I am sitting here literally shaking, wringing my hands, and sweating bullets about your proposal. While I understand that what the Bush administration did may have been illegal, I am worried that prosecuting Bush administration officials will have the following negative effects:

1. It will jeopardize Obama’s chances of getting 80 votes for the stimulus package, because congressional Republicans will be very, very, very upset.

2. David Broder will write an angry column saying that Obama is not being very bipartisan — not very bipartisan AT ALL.

3. It will divert prosecutorial resources from voter registration fraud cases. ACORN may well end up getting off scot-free.

4. We will be looking backwards, not forward, just like at Nuremberg.

So PLEASE reconsider your extremist stance about enforcing the law.
