I think its funny that the person whom NPR scrounged up to talk about the FBI raid on a Congressman's office found it difficult to make a succinct statement of the principles behind the separation of powers concept. That speaks volumes to me about why laywers -- at least, high profile ones who've been graduated from Harvard -- tend to be morally ambiguous. I also think its funny that the legislators rose en masse, briefly united against the FBI, and claiming that the raid was a contravention of those powers. It clearly wasn't -- and what they were really afraid of, I think, was : who's next?
Also, the Veterans Administration head got beaten up by members of Congress for an identity information breach; one said that if the VA head truly took personal responsibility, he'd resign. Funny, I thought that taking responsibility meant saying that it was your fault that the event occurred, and taking action to fix it. Then again, for some congressmen, resigning would BE the fix.....
