Is the Kingdom Krumbling?

Wolfowitz resigned; Gonzalez digs a deeper hole everyday; and Cheney claims immunity. None have declared "not guilty." The Cheney-inspired philosophy is that Presidential power is absolute. That is scarey. We may be as close as this country has ever been to a dictatorship. Thank God we now have a congress that is asking questions; defying the absolute authority.

Though he must be presumed innocent until proven otherwise, it seems to me that Cheney's declaration of immunity is an admission that he did order the exposure of Valerie Plame as retaliation for her husband Joseph Wilson's article exposing the manipulation of intelligence to support attacking Iraq. If Cheney is exempted from the law, where does that leave Karl Rove and George Bush. Will King George ever honor his word and fire the individual responsible for the leak of Valerie Plame's identity? If Cheney manages to have this lawsuit dismissed, will that set a precedent? Is the President allowed to take our country to war based on a pack of lies and be immune from any legal action?

Am I the only one who sees how close we are to declaring martial law and assuming dictatorial authority? I'm frightened.

But, maybe, former Assistant Attorney General Jim Comey's testimony will be the straw that broke the camel's back. It may finally drive Alberto Gonzalez out of office. If it doesn't, it leaves the Bush administration looking ghoulish. If it does, the flood gates could open. Maybe Karl Rove will be next. Power may be returned to the people. Government of, for and by the People!!! :-)
