Safe haven for bribes demanded by congress
Congress is demanding that their offices be off limits to law enforcement searches, sort of a diplomatic immunity from American law. Not that members of our elite ruling class are ever actually held to the standards the rest of us mere peons are subject to but it was never argued out loud where people could see the demand for privilege in it's brazen form. Its one thing to take privilege for granted it's another to rub it in our faces.
House Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio told reporters Tuesday that the Congress will somehow speak to ''this issue of the Justice Department's invasion of the legislative branch. In what form, I don't know.''Just think, the safest place to store dead bodies, bribes, drugs and other ill gotten gains may be congressional offices. I hope the word doesn't get out to those nefarious sorts on our streets and in our prisons, we have enough crooks in office as it is.''I've got to believe at the end of the day it's going to end up across the street at the Supreme Court,'' Boehner said.
House Speaker Dennis Hastert said the Justice Department had never before crossed a line that separates Congress from the executive branch by searching a congressional office while investigating a member of Congress.

If the seperation of the different branches of the government prevents the Justice Department from searching a congressional office would the seperation of church and state prevent thier search a religious building and if so would my delaring myself the grand high most holy leader of my on church allow me to break any law I wanted? This seperation of the branches of government arguement make no sense to me.
