    Nice job, skirting around the relevant points. If that's the best you can offer, then you failed to back up your original statement.

    Kamal Derwish was not the target. Did the CIA know he was in the car? Is George Tenet a neo-con?

    Worse, actually. They never did this.

    This is the oath of office for the Attorney General. Arguably, it his primary duty to uphold and defend the Constitution.

    'I (name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

  7. When did he say that? I think you just made that up.

  8. The person who was injured.

  9. Jury nullification is always a good option as well.

  10. In the real, non-pacifist world, it can do things like end slavery in the United States, end the murder of 6 million Jews in Europe, or end the tyrannical rule of Great Britain.

    Why, exactly, do you think it alright to make this issue partisan? Did the Obama administration pass the Patriot Act?

    Yes. Barack Obama signed it into law on December 31st, 2011. For the rest of your points, refer to my second sentence.

    Now, 60% of students receive student loans. Universities have no incentive for lowering tuition because their students have tapped into 1.2 trillion dollars of taxpayer money that they use for tuition and even general living costs while students. Don't spout BS about the disappearance of taxpayer support.

    Actually by they, I mean the DOJ. Eric Holder has completely abdicated his responsibilities and has become the most politically motivated Attorney General in my lifetime.

    Slap on the wrist? As far as I can tell, they are just ignoring it, which makes me think they are complicit.

    Did you even read that article? I don't think artificial or demand means what you think it means.

    It's a bubble fueled by taxpayer money. Huge artificial demand has been created, and then subsidies pay for the inflated tuition.

    The OP is arguing that the IRS prosecuting a mobster who evaded his taxes, is the same thing as the IRS using it's broad powers to persecute political groups in an election year. He does not have a point.

    Wow, you reinforced his points way better than I could have. Kudos.

    Yes, they investigated 7 liberal groups and 190 conservative groups. Totally fair once you take an objective look. Many of those conservative groups had their application held in limbo for years. The only propaganda here, is what you swallowed whole and are now regurgitating.

    When it just says retain and does not specify a period that means indefinitely. Just like paper records. It's not that hard to understand.

    You are ignoring the facts. Dozens of conservative groups were left in limbo for years. Look at the questions the IRS was trying to get them to answer, and tell me you still believe that.

    IRS policies, and federal law require them to keep email that may be needed later as official records.

    If your hard drive crashes, you just request a backup retrieval. That's what a normal person would do. Did Lois request a retrieval? It's almost as if they wanted this information to disappear.
