I've often thought that the biggest problem with Republicans is that there are too many of them. Along those lines, I have some favors to ask Senators Clinton and Obama.

Firrst, please point out that no matter how badly the President and his surrogates deserve to be impeached, tried, convicted or all of the above, it won't happen because there are too many Republicans.

Second, please propose a Constitutional amendment to require that all Presidential pardons, commutations etc. be confirmed by the Senate. Point out that it won't pass because there are too many Republicans.

Third, please introduce legislation declaring "executive privilege" null and void after the President in question leaves office. Point out that it won't pass because there are too many Republicans. Make its passage the first priority of your administration, in concert with a new, fillibuster-proof Democratic Senate.

Finally, please commit your administration to investigating and prosecuting all crimes of every Bush appointee, starting the day you take office, when pardons and privileges are no longer a possibility. But it won't happen if there are too many Republicans.
