Members of the Bush Administration have done nearly everything possible to make the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and the Geneva Convention a stack of “quaint,” silly and useless documents.

The Administration has had people kidnapped and tortured in countries all over the world; they have pushed for legislation calling for torture to become SOP in cases of detained brown-skin peoples; and they have been consistent in messaging that, if you don’t like the illegal and “Jack Bower” style of “shoot from the hip and damn the consequences” government that Bush Co. and Friends provides: “well then, pardner, ya’ll are a freedom hatin’, jihadist blowing, candy assed sissy, now, ya’ hear?”

Now, I throw into the mix the following from the Politico:

Congressional Democrats searching for legal ways to force President Bush’s senior advisers to testify before their committees have few good options and one really odd one.

“The sergeant at arms could stick [former White House counsel] Harriet Miers in the basement, lock her up and wait until she’s ready to talk,” said University of Missouri—Columbia law professor Frank Bowman, describing the little-known legislative power called “inherent contempt.”

With all that in mind, consider the recent Contempt of Congress acts perpetuated by Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, Josh Bolton, and others for no-showing their subpoenaed appearances before Congress, committing perjury, etc. etc. and you begin to see that the White House is almost begging the Congress to start flexing its Constitutional Muscle.

Democrats are left with two equally improbable options: Jail the officials or sue the administration. Either option would put two relatively obscure Hill lawyers, House General Counsel Geraldine Gennet and Senate General Counsel Morgan Frankel, at the center of a political circus.

In July, the House Judiciary Committee found Miers and White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten in criminal contempt for failing to respond to the committee’s subpoenas. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has suggested that she supports the idea of contempt, so the resolution could move to the full Congress.

So, consider, if you will, that Congress sacks up and initiates “inherent contempt” and jails these lawless chuckleheads. These guys have information on serious breeches of Constitutional Law, violations of basic, American Rights, and other diabolical schemes that we, as a law abiding public, can only imagine in our darkest thoughts. Got that all in your head. Good. Add this:

These folks all think that torture is a fantastic method for extraction of information. They love torture. Torture is what makes their Onanism reach fruition, if you know what I mean, and, if we arrest them (which we should) and then we DON’T torture them, say, with dogs, humiliation, water-boarding, electrical shocks to their reproductives, and beating the hell out of them, then, 1.) They will continue to have no respect for Congress; 2.) They’ll hold onto their information; 3.) They’ll never learn their lesson about what happens when you mess with America.

Sound good? Hell no it doesn’t, bit I think, personally, that it’d work.
